I think swedish is very easy if you just listen to it. You can pick accents there as well, just avoid the unhinged stuff like visby and youll have a pretty easy time. Everyone brings up the swedish prosody and pitch accent but its just a melody you memorize/practice for each word. The two hardest things for me were/are y and the "sj"(ɧ) thingy.

    I guess you could learn which word has which pitch accent, but can you hear it? Danes for example are deaf to it and can't hear the difference between tomten and tomten. It's the same word to them.

    Hmm interesting. For me its one of my favourite parts of swedish. I dont know which dialect does what but maybe skånska has less pitch and thats why the danes cant hear it as well. But once again, just listening to the language as much as possible is the best way to get a feeling for pronounciation. Also danish is just unhinged anyways i dont care what they say about swedish, they should fix their language 💀
