KÆRLIG HILSEN

Hi Peter,
Thanks a lot for sharing your story and glad to see that Danish is spread worldwide 🙂
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

I have a lot of trouble remembering the “connecting” words like who, where, why, what, how, are, you, on, in, etc. To ask in Danish something like “Where are you going?” or “How do i get to the grocers?”, “What are we having for dinner? or “Can you tell me how you make Rød Grød Med Fløde?” the sentences start with where, how, what, can and I can never seem to remember them I decide if I made some flash cards for the words I could practice them untilI get them memorized. It’s worth a try, right?

PS The Rød Grød Med Fløde dessert I mentioned is a toughie to pronounce. The words with “ød” are said like a double “o” in the word “wood”.
BUT… instead you start with an “r” not a “w” and end it with a “th” sound like “those” not “tooth”
With the “ed” in “med” and the “de” in “fløde” they are said like the begining sound of the name “ESTER”…. eh-ster…so “m-eh” and “fl-ooth-eh” . So “roothe-groothe-meh-floo-th-eh” What could be simpler right? 🙂 🙂

I’ve always been sort of ticked off and disappointed that my parents didn’t make sure my siblings and I leaned to speak Danish. I get why (sort of) – my parents were trying to learn English, there were almost no Danes where we lived, and my eldest brother didn’t like them speaking Danish because then they’d think we were Dutch (long story) But part of me still thinks they could have found the time. (Okay so their lives were busy and they were raising 5 children still……)

When I was about say 12 -16 myself and my siblings talked about having regular Danish lessons from Mom…..but it just never happened. And children learn so much fasterthan adults generally. My Copenhagen born brother (now 66 years old) spoke Danush for the first 8 years of his life. The family orginally lived on a remote farm and for those first 5 years they spoke a lot of Danish because they lived with another Dane – my Father’s childhood buddy – who immigrated before they did – and he’s the one who talked them into moving to Canada.

END PART ONE

Pleasure and thanks for taking the time to read the blog!

Hey Steph! Thank you for your message. The best way to use the Sådan books would actually be at school or with the help of a Danish speaker if you want to improve faster. I can definitely understand that you would get overwhelmed as it is in Danish.
Happy learning.

Also, thank you for sharing your experience! 🙂
