I’m Swedish, didn’t quite get the part about J and Y being pronounced the same? Sounds different to me

- einr 7y agoI think he's talking about Y when used as a consonant at the start of English words. Y exists in Swedish as a distinct vowel sound but is not used as a consonant like in English. Swedes tend to pronounce English "yes" and "yoke" as well as "juice" and "joke" all with the same Swedish J sound.
