    This is for the Swedish interpretation of the spelling, blåhaj is also a popular child’s song in Sweden.

    The å is pronounced almost exactly like the English word ‘awe’.

    j in Swedish makes the sound of English’s y

    Blå haj is then pronounced as - ‘bloa high’

      The thing that my girlfriend struggled with when she moved to sweden was our swedish letter “y”. She can do it now, but it still doesn’t come naturally, she has to consciously move the right muscles to pronounce it.
