How do you phonetically say Mormor in English?

"Mormor" is a Swedish word, and its pronunciation is a bit tricky for English speakers. Here's a breakdown:

* Mormor (pronounced more-mor)

Here's how to say it:

1. "More": Start with the sound of the English word "more", but shorten the "o" sound a bit. It's not a long "o" like in "more", but not a short "o" like in "hot".

2. "Mor": Add the sound "mor" as in "morning" but make the "o" sound a bit shorter.

3. Combine: Put the two sounds together, making sure the "o" sound is slightly shorter in the second part.

Tips:

* Practice saying the individual parts ("more" and "mor") before combining them.

* Listen to recordings of Swedish speakers saying "Mormor" to get a better feel for the pronunciation.

* Don't worry about getting it perfect right away. Just keep practicing, and you'll get there!

Remember, "Mormor" is a Swedish word, so it's perfectly fine to say it with a slight accent.
