If you're not sure about English --> Danish but Danish is your first language, how easy was it for you to learn English?

hardest part is pronunciation, the rest should be easy for you

Danish is a hard language to learn because they talk fast and slur their words together. A study was done on this and it found danes speak 3 times faster than swedes.
Swedish or norwrigan are much easier to learn.
Overall the scandinavians are similar to english but still difficult enough that it would take quite some time to learn. Id say its easier than german but harder than dutch

>Easier than german but harder than dutch
Shouldn't be too bad then. The speed of spoken Danish might fuck me up a bit though, I guess.

Thanks to both of you, I've been looking into Danish culture and history recently and found it pretty interesting.

yeah don't even try to SPEAK like a native unless you've lived there for a decade+.
Writing is another deal entirely. But oral danish is a completely different and often made fun of beast.

do you know of any resources for practicing oral danish for future reference?

Duolingo is the best alternative afaik.
Good luck and kamelåså.

>kamelåså.
Slet dette!

OP, you should be aware that if you approach Danes (in real life) with broken Danish, they will switch over to English unless you specifically ask not to. They do it to help you, though it may be annoying.

You just bought 1000L milk.

Nooo ;_;

Most danes speak english with echother these days too. I went to copenhagen and every other word a dane says is english. Danish is a dying language

Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say.

It's true that we borrow a lot of English words in daily life. All but a handful of the most used languages are dying though.

Yeah, mann, whatever du fucking sier.

Har dere kuk i computeren nede der i Koben eller?

Planned on using duolingo and part just looking up some chatrooms focused on the language, thanks my man

That's fine. I'd never try to speak to someone in their language in a normal casual conversation unless I was confident in my fluency really. I've heard too many horror stories from french people.

kek, so fucking true, it's actually sad

The actual state of swede-coping

Jaer, shibab, al'qaieda du akbar siger.

kids in denmark are the slowest in the world at developing language, I think the average age for speaking an entire intelligible sentence is 5 or 6

MASHALLAH BRODER, MALMÖ ÄR VÅRT!

Det finns faktiskt fler än en svensk på Jow Forums

From what I've heard the written shouldn't be hard but they slur words (especially the endings) when speaking so I have a feeling speaking will be hard for you.

>be Swedish
>be Somali

>Id say its easier than german but harder than dutch
That's only because of german grammar autism. Their language is pretty similar to ours (I'm assuming you're as well). It's just speaking it well and the regional accents (can't understand an Austrian for shit).

>You just bought 1000L milk.
Wait, would their pronounciations fuck up business deals with other Scandinavians from warping words?

Obsessed

It's a very well known meme in Scandinavia.

It's a group of Norwegian comedians making fun of the oral danish language.

It is honestly pretty good.

You do realize English has a lot of Danish influence. Those assholes are also the reason we ditched genders for nouns (the Danish ones and Low German/Old English ones didn't match even for similar words).

>post stupid shit
>people point it out
>"Y-YOU'RE OBSESSED!!!!!!!!"

written looks very easy to me to get proficient in but spoken danish might take a lifetime
