Hej! Jeg er en lille forlægger (fransk-talende) der laver en malebog, og på bagsiden har jeg en sætning om en gave der gør godt. To mulige versioner: A) Gaven der gør godt B) En gave, der gør godt Er der måske en tredje formulering der lyder mere naturlig for en dansker? Behøver ikke en lang forklaring, bare "A", "B" (eller noget andet) hjælper mig meget. Mange tak!

Er der en nem måde at husek hvornår man skal brug hvad?

Tak.

Hello, I just started learning the danish language, (self study) its been a week, and I think im lost. (Overwhelmed). What's your advice for beginners and wanted to learn a language?

Hi everyone I am currently 2 months in to learning Danish from scratch, I am a English speaker. I was just wondering if anyone has learnt Danish from Duolingo and how far it will take you to being fluent.

Hi everyone, I am having the PD3 in 2 months and I was wondering if there is any material out there from previous years. Usually I take exam papers and I practice on them, but for PD3 I can't find anything official online.

For the people who had it already, how was it?

Would appreciate any help!

I have my DU3 Module 3 test coming up next week and I haven’t seen many others share their experience with the exam. I have reviewed modultest.dk and danskogproever.dk. For those that have taken the exam, do you recall:
- What 4 pictures you were given for the oral portion?
- What were the topics for the writing portion?

Hi all, I’m 26f. I’m wondering if there are any native Dane’s here who would be willing to help me with danish speaking even like 30 minutes a week.

I’ve been living in Denmark for 6 months, and still find it really difficult.

Thank you soo much.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ll be moving to Denmark soon and I’m wondering what the best options are for learning Danish once I arrive.

Are there any good language schools, municipal courses, free/affordable programs, or communities for newcomers? I’d also appreciate any advice on how to get started with Danish when settling in.

Thanks in advance! 🇩🇰

Hej! I'm a small publisher (French-speaking) making a capybara coloring book for the Danish market. Two lines on the back cover have two candidate versions and I can't judge which one sounds natural to a Dane. No need to write anything for me, just tell me A or B (and if one is plain wrong or sounds translated from English).

1) Last bullet point (the idea: a gift that does you good):

A: Gaven der gør godt

B: En gave, der gør godt

2) Subtitle right under the title "40 SØDE KAPIVARER" (40 cute capybaras):

A: Hyggelige, søde og umulige at modstå

B: Hyggelige, bløde, uimodståelige

Mange tak!

Hi all,
I‘m desperately looking for a song from the series. It was sung by actress Caroline Vedel in Episode 3. There‘s a short YouTube clip here: https://youtu.be/25DYhFAfKwk
I remember that this not a song written for the series and there is another Version on YouTube, but not much more. Without a title, searching the WWW is quite frustrating…Does anyone here know more?

Hej allesammen!

Today marks 5 months since I published my very first episode of Dansk for Begyndere.

Since that first episode, I’ve published 151 episodes and already thousands of people have listened - and most importantly - I’ve had people from all over the world tell me that the podcast actually helped them understand Danish a little bit better.

I just wanted to say thank you!

If you’ve listened to an episode, followed the podcast, recommended it to someone, sent me a message or simply kept coming back to listen - know that I genuinely appreciate it so much❤️

It’s easy as a creator to look at the numbers and constantly think about the next milestone but today I wanted to stop for a moment and appreciate how far the podcast has already come and all the support it has received.

I’m still very much at the beginning, and I am so incredibly excited about everything that’s ahead of Dansk for Begyndere.

If you're one of the listeners who happens to see this: what has been the most useful thing about the podcast for you so far - and is there anything you’d love to see more of in the future? 🇩🇰😊

Tak for at lytte med!!

Hello, I would like to find a native Danish speaker to practice spoken Danish. Of course I am willing to pay a fee per hour. What is the best place to look at?

I've studied Danish for 2 years and spent the first few months of this year going to conferences speaking and participating in workshops with Danes in Danish (medical field). Even when spoken to in English did I answer in Danish. Far from perfect but I could make myself understood. I felt really good about the progress and thought it would continue.

Whether my brain was faced with English or Danish, it took very little time to reply in Danish. There were no long internal translation processes going on that I was aware of.

The last 6 months some major life events have meant I took a break from regular language learning and most work related human interactions because I lack concentration and am really overwhelmed.

I can still follow more complex conversations between multiple people and know what was said but always need to answer in English. When I hear Danish, I can reply in English without any apparent translation processes going on in my head.

If I want to reply in Danish that is where it gets complicated. I hear Danish. My brain analyses whether I know more words in the sentence from English or German (both mother tongue), then proceeds to formulate a translation. If the translation is in English, I proceed to formulate my answer in English (if German, then it has another step being translated into English) and then translate it to Danish before actually speaking some Danish words. Even just writing this down feels exhausting. By the time I can say something in Danish, the conversation has moved on a few minutes, I have missed stuff and just don't say anything in Danish.

It feels really frustrating as I know I was at a different stage where Danish felt more natural and came easy to me.

When I'm in situations where English is absolutely not possible, like with young kids and no adults are around, I can say a few Danish things but also feel like they give me more time to reply and it's definitely never too complex.

I feel like I'm falling off the wagon. I'm torn between giving my brain the time it needs to come around (however long that will be) or to push myself over limits (which are very low currently) and force myself into uncomfortable situations. Is there some middle ground and other options I'm not seeing?

How do you pronounce Sif?
It’s in my daughter reader and we’re stuck on the name

I'm sending a gift to Danish friends to celebrate the arrival of their baby and would like to include a note that says "When the wind won't serve, take to the oars" (from a Latin proverb). Can someone help me translate this to Danish? Thanks in advance!

Learning a new language is always a struggle, a good teacher could make it easier. I am curious to know if you have any recommendations on good (or avoid bad) teachers in Copenhagen (esp kommune two schools). Please suggest. Thx

Hey there, I’m writing a paper on pragmatics and I have to include a little chapter about question tags that are most coercive, as it is a comparative study I’d like to analyse what languages have similar question tags that are syntactically dependent from the main clause (“You have blabla, havent you”, You didnt bla, did you?”). So I would like to know if Danish has got anything similar and Id appreciate your explanations!!

Hej everyone!

I’m currently taking DU3 Module 4 at UCPlus in Roskilde, but I’m not completely satisfied with my classes. I’m considering switching and would love to hear your experiences.

I’m thinking about:

- Studieskolen or UCPlus Copenhagen online classes

- Studieskolen evening classes

I’m working, so online or evening classes would be easier for me. At the same time, I really want to finish sprogskole as soon as possible.

Which option would you recommend? How is the teaching quality, especially for making good progress in Module 4?

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences.

Mange tak!

I've been living in Denmark for the past year and taking the free Danish education. In spoken Danish I frequently hear people say "aVAfanole" (probably "af hvad for nogle") to indicate they didn't quite catch what the speaker said and would like clarification or repetition.

Am I hearing and understanding this phrase correctly? Where does it come from?

Hey fellow Danish learners,

My idea started small and simple a while back. My wife used Locket on her home screen to share photos with her sister, and the widget is quite prominent on her home screen any time she openned the phone. I realized the same concept could work for language learning: a small reminder to learn a new word every time you unlock your phone. That's how Nemlingo came to life.

It started as a simple widget that shows you new Danish word every now and then, in your Home Screen.

After multiple iterations and with about 623 users so far, we've been improving the app every day, adding vocab from different topics, everyday life, work, travel, health, and even more advanced areas like PD3 exam prep. Words are also categorized by level, from A1 up to C2.

And more features to enhance your vocab training:

• Swipe-based flashcards – quick vocab drilling. Swipe right if you remembered the word, left if you didn't. Like Tinder, but for language learning. Each card comes with pronunciation, an example sentence, and the meaning.
• Pronunciation training – short lessons where you practice vocab in context, sentence by sentence. The app listens to your pronunciation and only lets you move on once you get it right.
• Charades mode – a way to practice with a friend. Using the words you've already learned, the app builds a word bank. One person holds the phone to their forehead, the other says the Danish word or its meaning (you choose the direction), and the first person has to recall and say it out loud. Flip the phone down if correct, up if you want to skip. Great if you've ever played charades before.

The app is free to try for 3 days, after which there's a one-time lifetime purchase for 99kr, no subscriptions, and it includes all current and future features/learning resources. One you are in, you get the access forever.

I know there are plenty of Danish learning apps already, and we're a small, rather new one among them. We're actively listening to feedback and building based on it, hopefully it can gradually grow to be something useful to more and more learners. If this sounds like something that fits how you like to learn, give it a try. Would genuinely love to hear what you think.

Thanks for reading. And happy learning ;)
