Æ = Like the A in (American) “asshole”
Å = Like the A in (British) “awful”.
Ø = Like the U in (American) “Ugly”.
As a Scandinavian, one of my biggest pet peeves is when someone uses Ø instead of O because they think it looks cool. Sure, whatever, but it makes reading it really insufferable. Imagine if someone typed your name as UnduBrani and expected you to pronounce it the same while not tripping over decades of reading practice.
Yes. From my knowledge of danish:
Æ: Not pronounced.
Ø: Similar to Norwegian.
Å: Similar to Norwegian, except you need to swallow a whole potato while saying it.

Øh, really?
“Øh” is actually how we spell and pronounce the Danish equivalent of “uh” or “uhm”.
That would be Norwegian I assume. They are pronounced different in Danish.
