Your pronunciation of the letter Ø is impressive. That seems to be one of the harder sounds for foreigners. :)

Are you planning on going to Denmark at some point or are you simply interested in learning different languages?

[jerradcwilliams]

@gnawershreth Thanks! I actually haven't spoken Danish in the longest time considering all of my Danish friends stay busy but languages are a passion of mine. I would like to visit sometime if I ever get enough money.

[jerradcwilliams]

@chrisbold56 wait, what?

[jerradcwilliams]

@werbnnerf I see. Thanks for telling me or I would have kept saying it that way.

@jerradcwilliams

Think of it like this. You are saying "Dah-nn-sk". Which isn't entirely wrong, because there's a double consonant so according to Danish grammar rules, it's a short a.

However it is said: "Deh-nn-sk-uh" the "uh" is said quickly.

@werbnnerf How would it be pronounced?

[werbnnerf]

That's not how you say Danish in Danish. That is way off.

[jerradcwilliams]

@ZtellaStar haha I don't see why not, it is a very interesting language and super fun to speak!

[ZtellaStar]

Heeey I'm danish.. And I think it's great that you are learning Danish, I thought no one wanted to learn our language :p
