Seeking Danish Help

Hello all

This might be a good place to get started: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/atlas/danish/index.html (use the left-hand column).

I also enjoyed watching TV on DR.dk when I was getting started.

And, depending on your reading level, you may be interested to know that there's a free-to-view Danish language encyclopaedia: http://www.denstoredanske.dk/

All these links are wonderful, thank you so much! :D

Okay, I have no knowledge, except of Google, to help you, but here's what I've found so far:

Since you said money is no problem:

Good luck! I know that it's the pronunciation that is always my hang-up when I'm starting a new language.

Also, according to this page on your university's website, "Anyone who achieves a certain fluency in Swedish can also understand both Danish and Norwegian." So, you might try studying Swedish in your university's Germanic Studies Department.

Then again I know several Swedish speakers who claim they have no idea what their Danish friends say. YMMV.

I actually have enrolled myself in Swedish classes at school. :D
I'm hoping it will help at least in part. :)

'm also attempting to learn Danish

Thanks for the information though, what an interesting article!

I'm using Rosetta Stone to learn German right now, and it's really nice. It really teaches concepts well, through pictures and simple sentences, and then proceeds to enforce them a bunch so that you really know them. Only downside is that you learn a bunch of phrases, not a bunch of individual words. I'm not sure how Danish is, but I'm able to figure out which are verbs and which are subjects, etc. from the German phrases enough to memorize verbs and subjects/nouns individually, so it's not a terrible problem for me.

I'm trying to learn Hungarian right now, so I'm with you on the difficult languages page. :)

Oooh, so you like the Rosetta Stone? I've been debating with getting it for a while because it is kind of expensive but I really want to learn haha.
Thanks for the review. :D
