There you are are. As a general rule, Swedish is spoken as it's written, once you know how it's pronounced that is - whereas Danish tosses out the last half of each word, pronounding it
like this in one sentence and
like that in another one.

My pleasure! And it's OK for you to say so, but if I tell a Dane that I'll get my head bashed in. They are very sensitive about it when in the presence of a Swede. This why I only speak English when I'm in Denmark. They honestly believe that if they understand me that I ought to understand them ..... I don't.
