Then it's probably my duty to inform you about the pronounciation, as none of them has any resemblance to the sound of either A or O:

Å: as in "wall" and "crawl"
Ä: as in "pass" and "stare"
Ö: as in "bird" and "sir"

That's why bands like Motörhead and Mötley Crüe sound rather funny up here. Not to mention Tröja, which with is the swedish word for sweater.
