I'm kind of randomly learning Danish, but I also heard it's a very happy place with very kind people so knowing the language would be helpful if I ever wanted to go there for a longer amount of time
Please keep making videos, I need all the help I can get. I'm going to go back there so I can ask the woman I love to marry me. Thanks for you videos ❤️
I had a Danske girlfriend in 1979. I haven't heard her or any other person speak Danske since. So now when I listen to you, my brain is trying to click on it but then I just think of her saying it, and I'm like oh yeah ok. I can still hear her! This is how she would say it!
Good greetings from America. Is it true that Danish has 20 vowel sounds? Also, exactly how many phonemes(sounds) are there in Danish? I've read that there are 52. But I can't find any proof of this.
No one is sure exactly how many vowel sounds Danish has, because there are some variations before and after /r/ where it’s not clear if they're the same sound or not. Phonetically, it's useful to think about 3 series of 5 vowels: front unrounded [i e˔ e˕ ɛ æ], front rounded [y ø˔ ø˕ œ ɶ], and back rounded [u o ɔ˔ ɔ˕ ɒ], where the first 4 can be both short and long, and the last can only be short. The central unrounded [ɑ] is the only one of its kind that can appear in stressed syllables, and it can be both long and short; the schwas [ə ɐ] are also central unrounded and can only be short. If you use this model, there are 31 vowel sounds, but this isn't the only possible model: you could easily add a sixth vowel to two of the series by considering the post-r [ɛ˔ œ˔] in "vrede, røde" different qualities from the pre-r [ɛ œ] in "være, gøre", even though the difference is barely noticeable and might not even exist for some speakers. Phonemically, though, it's a bit simpler. Phonemes aren't sounds, they're categories of sounds that native speakers consider equivalent even if they're not the exact sound you'd use in a given context. In American English, /t/ is a great example: in "top" there's an extra puff of air before the vowel ([tʰ]), in "stop" the vowel begins right away ([t]), and in "city" it's completely replaced by a tongue flap ([ɾ]), but we still think of all those sounds as different kinds of /t/. An the case of the Danish vowels, there are 21 categories, 10 long and 10 short, plus the schwa.
Thank you for your videos ! I just have a small comment about the french examples you are using. You shouldn't pronounce the s in "les" in french. And the way you pronounce it is a bit off, especially on the other video when you pronounced "deux". But thank you for your work, it is very helpful to have a more detailed video like this on pronunciation
It is hard to tell æ apart from a before learning much vocabulary. It seems I can begin to appreciate the distinctions with more context, and solidify them in a more right-brained manner and less of a formulaic, similar to how i can sing different notes without thinking.
InDanish Please sign up on Instagram it would help everyone, I’ve got a problem pronouncing the soft d, I’ve seen the video about it and it was really helpful but I still can’t pronounce it, so I thought I could send you a voice message on Instagram to make sure that I’m pronouncing it correctly because.. I think I’m not pronouncing it correctly.. sign up on Instagram it would be really helpful to all of us.
Never said I was but I’m glad I sound convincing, haha! Check out Mic’s Languages, I think he offers private lessons, if you’re interested. Or people on Italki, Preply, etc. Learning things on your own is possible, too, it just takes a bit more time.
I love how you describe where your tongue is and the comparisons with English. Very very helpful.
I'm randomly learning danish, and your videos helped me so much 😂 Mange tak!!

Mange tak, the difference between E and Æ intrigued me.
I love listening to the Danish language spoken. to me, it is music with soul, so beautiful. i also love to listen to French.

You're so good looking and your voice is so sweet. Pity that you stopped making new videos.(

I hope you are ok? You didn't make new videos for two months.

InDanish Are you a native speaker and where are you from? Where did you learn all these rules from?
Mange tak!
Do you have instagram? I need help :-:
I don’t really use social media 💁🏻♀️Something I can’t help you with here?

I’m learning all this stuff just as you are so maybe asking a native would be a better idea.
InDanish I don’t know anyone from Denmark unfortunately, but wait where are you from? I thought you are danish
