I wish dream-Rune taught me how to read the o with the / through it. I never heard it pronounced aloud, so I still don't get the difference between that and the regular o.

I didn't see this post until just now.
Pronouncing the Ø is difficult, it is a favorite passtime of the Danes to make foreigners say the phrase '
Rødgrød med fløde'.
But here is a fun fact: 'Ø' is also a one letter word, meaning 'Island'. So is our equally amazing letter 'Å', which means 'Stream/Creek'.
