Now I did this half jokingly, so take that as you will
r/danishlanguage
For me, it was “guldsmed” = goldsmith. I was like, “Hmmm… English really got this from Danish!” What about you? Which word made you think, “English comes from Danish (or at least sounds a lot like it)”?

Hej. I have been learning Danish for a while and finally decided to record a video while speaking. I am Venezuelan, so, I know my Danish sucks, but I wanna know if you, native speaker, or Danish learner, can actually understand me, or if my pronunciation was terrible.
Danish is hard to understand, and if my pronunciation is terrible, it will be impossible. So, tell me if you can fatte noget.
If you're unsure where to start, I made a little something!
Hej kære dansk-lærende,
I'm a Danish software dev married to a lovely Japanese lady who wants to learn to speak Danish, so I put together a flashcard deck and an app for her to practice - thought it might be useful to the crowd here - completely free
It will show you increasingly difficult words (with examples, conjugation and illustrations) and auto-progress smoothly with your mastery level
held og lykke! :^)
I lived in Denmark for over 15 years, but I haven’t spoken Danish in about 10 years or so. I need to have a conversation with the komune in Copenhagen, so I just want to practice and see how good my Danish is, a few times. I don’t want to pay a fortune to do that so if anybody knows of a website where I could do a little bit of conversation do let me know. Thank you.
