God påske! Happy Easter

It's good to know it's not just me - even Danes are having trouble understanding each other as pronunciation gets shorter and shorter.

I've seen this video before although I don't quite get it. Perhaps I will when I move there.

Ahahahaha, you found this video. It is a joke from the Norwegians telling how bad the Danes talk to each other LOL ......and even my Danish boyfriend doesn't understand a thing spoken in this video.

Maybe they are right after all..........

Blue and writer: I had to listen to it three times myself to make out the English - let alone anything else. What I find interesting about it is that the Danish way chopping words off etc. must be, in some way, in people's minds other than my own!

the writer: It sounds like you have all of this well under control!

bluefish: Try and take plenty of lessons before you finally move here!

well, let's say that I got two Danish language proficiency certificates in the bag but it definitely does not make me a fluent Danish speaker, YET.

I can only hear and understand but difficult to answer back :) (at least there's a delay of few seconds before I can answer the question they gave me)

I was trying to find any online courses in Canada, but there's nothing! There's a software called Rosetta but it cost $209 US to buy it! I certainly can't afford that. I really wonder where I can learn Danish properly before moving.
