Oh, by the way, we had to try some linguistic tests at school the other day, and I realized my vowels are quite different from what I though ... I knew it was different, but didn't think too much of it.
Oslo Norwegian - Where I live
/ɑː/ = /ɒː/
/æ/ = /a/
/eː/ = /jeː/ ~ /ieː/ (this is what a long /e/ has always sounded to me ...)
/œ/ = /ə/ ( )

Oh, Oslo Norwegian has two r's too ([ɾ] and the American one (allophone of l) , but I'm not at a level advanced enough to use it ).
