Pronunciation questions...

[mistahARK]

I'm relatively new to the Swedish snus world, and as I browse through the culture and the online storefronts, I am constantly bombarded by words I have no idea how to pronounce. As I just recently realized I've been pronouncing 'snus' wrong, I'd really like to learn how to pronounce some of these words correctly, and would really appreciate it if you could help me out!

So I think I've got these two right:
Snus is pronounced Snoose
Pris is pronounced Price

Some words I have little to no idea how to pronounce (pardon the lack of accents, but I think you'll know what I'm referring to)
Los
Rape
Roda

If there are any terms that you think I should know, or pronunciations of brands (or whatever) that I'm leaving out, feel free to contribute!

Also, I'm on a hunt for a snus sold in a metal tin...some options there would be nice. I just can't justify dropping 40$ on an Ice. I really like the General Smooth tin, but alas, I can't it find for sale anywhere.

One more Roda rhymes with Yoda can't think of a rhyme for Rapé

Los = Loose

So I know Los means Loose, but I thought it might be pronounced Lowse. This is not the case?

Sort of like "løs"... If you know how to pronounce "ø" that is

[phantom]

I try but I just can't say it.

You know what. I spoke to a SnusOn colleague in Scandinavia this week and our pronunciations of 'snus' were TOTALLY different and led to quite a bit of confusion :-) I tend to think I was in the wrong being a Brit though :-)
