This video gives me really nostalgic feelings! I was an exchange student at Aarhus University last autuum and I am so looking forward to go back to Aarhus for my PhD in 2022. I simply love the city, the university, the lectures, everything. Sadly I didn't learn danish so far. Sometimes I can understand written words or textes but the pronunciation... hell..
They drop half their syllables and swallow half their vowels. It's what makes spoken Danish so hard to understand, since it doesn't sound anything like the written language.
jasmineflower trust me that was me at first, I feel in love with the Danish language at age 9 , self taught, now age 17 ,As a Mexican, I understand it , I have Danish friends that I met online, talk in Danish, their snaps are in Danish, I can read it easily. I can also speak and write it decently . but ofc still not perfect , won't consider myself fluent until I can pronounce the famous phrase "Rødgrød med fløde " right. Took 8 years but I got there . Advantages though, I can read a bit of Norwegian and Swedish because of Danish!😌 ♡
I haven't been back since the 1990s, but it was quiet and clean. I love the place. I hope to go there again. I managed basic tourist Danish then. I'd like to be better, even if I'll miss some of the words. I'll just ask them to speak slowly.
do you know what most touched me as a native (relatively here) American? Natural ivy growing on the walls. ( yes, half my heritage is Danish) I have not seen ivy just growing since I was a child ... I miss being in nature like this ...
In Croatia, your first year of studying is free, the rest you have to pay (depending on how many points you've got, you get them by completing/passing subjects and the amount of points also depends on how good your grades are/were).
Free= gratis. In Indonesia we use gratis, too. besøg (if I'm not mistaken)= bezuk (visit). We share some vocabularies and that's why I encourage myself to learn Danish.
that's a guess, as i am not familiar with indonesian, but it most likely comes from Dutch (bezoek) as Indonesia was a dutch colony. Dutch is related to Danish since they're both Germanic languages, hence the similarity
Really liked the video. Turns out I was planning on studying in Aarhus, its nice to see the place. Im studying a lot to be accepted there, I am from Spain. But I dont know how hard learning danish will be. Its a language I want to learn even if I may not need it, but it scares me a little bit. Thanks for the video tho, I know now people will be nice to me.
Al Bundy Because it's correct. Det is a Danish equivalent for the in English, det and den depends on whether the noun that is specified is et or en and uddannelsessystem is et.
I thought these guys spoke too fast but after reading some comments I realized I'd better give up learning Danish altogether, lol It´s a beautiful language, though and the people are amazing!
I don't speak any danish at all so it confuses me so much trying to read along with the subtitles. It's as if they aren't even saying the words that are written because each word is said so fast and "gently'
"gratis" in polish is used almost exclusively when you're talking about shop bargains and stuff, in other situations there are the words "darmowy" or "bezpłatny"
+GlobalGamingGroup We will defiantly make some episodes in Copenhagen and other places around Denmark. Would you prefer of we did the interviews in Copenhagen?
Mein Gott!!!! So close but so far! The text is very close to german but the pronounce is a mix of english, old german and norwegian lol It sounds very unlike the text and actually this makes it so hard for me. Swedish and norwegian are clearer to understand. Keep struggling!!
It's a shame that they didn't write exactly what was said. The subs were a bit off, but meant the same as what was said. But it still makes it a bit difficult to keep track on, if you're trying to pair the sound with the text.
um 18?? bis 1970 ist Dänemark das einige land, das die Wohlfarth den Menschen zugänglicher gemacht hat. Oder die größte Muschel gefangen wurde, sie wiegte etwas über 2 kilo und war 33cm lang.
In comparison to German, this is not so bad. The pronunciation is a bit all over the place. But at least most sentence structures are close to English.
@@dude988 sounds more like you have a potato in your mouth. If you pronounced every single word u see in English it would just make the speech more ugly and horrendous than it already is
I wish sooo bad that there were free college education in my country: Colombia! But here it seems that education is a business and a private service rather than a public right. That's why Denmark is better in many many aspects
Andrés Yesid Calderón Amaya Eso es lo que creen muchos que es "gratis" pero no es gratis . Nada es gratis , y lo se por que tengo amigos daneses que viven en Dinamarca , y les pregunte sobre eso de la educación " gratis " y me dijeron que no es cierto . Pagan con sus impuestos todo , el 45%-60% ( dependiendo en tu trabajo ) que quitan y con eso lo pagan , No es "gratis" básicamente tu lo estas pagando.
All those that study psycology and medicin are literally the most School happy people in the World. You have to have your grades in near only 12 and very very few 10s if you wanna make it (thats like a's and a+'s)
Hi! If you want, you may slow down the speed of the video. Hover your mouse in the center of the playing video and click on the Settings icon, which resembles a gear. In the menu, scroll to find Playback speed and click it. UA-cam gives you eight options for playback speed. :)
And here in the USA, the wealthiest country, most young adults must take out mega loans to go to college., and then start their lives strapped down with enormous debt😢
meanwhile in the Netherlands you will get thousands in debt when you want to study. because most of the time you have to borrow money from the bank... to fricking pay to learn........ the dutch system is just fucked
I love the sound of Danish... very soft and musical to listen to.
easy when you dont have to use any words and can make whatever soun you like
Du laver sjov ret?
@@dusankulisek9248 no he's not...?
Mig også, jeg studerer dansk.
Any danish speakers tell me if anything is wrong with the sentence and I'll note it later
@@synxelectrika "me too" is "også mig"
"Hvad studerer du?"
"Øøøø...Kamelåså."
"Og nu har du bestilt 1000 liters mælk."
Lol i actually got that reference
I appreciate this comment :DD
Best comment ever!

Please remove the word "easy" from its title, thank you.
It is really easy if you put your mind to it.
Yeah really easy compare with hebrew, arabic, mandarin or russian for fuck sakes¡
Juan Paul Strange, I find russian easier than this
Easier than danish, or semitic languajes?
Juan Paul easier than danish
wtf they talk SO fast.. how do they fit all those words in within 1 second????????????????

Annet Avila Question, are ts pronounced at the ends of words that end with et? I've heard it's only not pronouced in det but I can't ever hear it.
Yes, "t"-s are normally pronounced in words that end with the definite particle "-et" as the "soft d" [ð].
Right? I'm learning Swedish, and the written form of Danish is so similar but it's like Danes blend two syllables into one when they talk... 😂😂
There is almost no noise in Denmark :)
True. We thinks it's polite to let strangers be on the streets. It's our culture. It's totally quiet in busses expecially.
I haven't been back since the 1990s, but it was quiet and clean. I love the place. I hope to go there again. I managed basic tourist Danish then. I'd like to be better, even if I'll miss some of the words. I'll just ask them to speak slowly.
Vi har brug for flere videoer på dansk, jeg tror vi er mange som vil lære mere af det danske sprog!!!
Tak på forhånd.
do you know what most touched me as a native (relatively here) American? Natural ivy growing on the walls. ( yes, half my heritage is Danish) I have not seen ivy just growing since I was a child ... I miss being in nature like this ...
will you guys expand into the other norse tongues(norwegian, swedish and iclandic)?
And will there be an easy finnish or is that an oxymoron?
So true hahaha :D
+01coyote13 There's one Norwegian episode. Sadly only one.
there's also easy swedish ,but just 2 episodes sadly
easy Finnish, lesson 1: PERKELE
that's it, that's all you need
Hey guys, its perfect. Waiting for another episode! Make more of them please, it's very useful for us, who learn Danish :) Thanks
Here you go :) ua-cam.com/video/EFzPDGypeLs/v-deo.html
In Croatia, your first year of studying is free, the rest you have to pay (depending on how many points you've got, you get them by completing/passing subjects and the amount of points also depends on how good your grades are/were).
We also have to get a certain amount of point, so we don't get kicked out of school. We have to pass. So that's also a little similar.
@S Haddan you also have to balance that and rushing and stressing people to study. Some subjects can't be rushed
I wish there were more countries that offered free education like Denmark!
+Caitlin Jenkinson there is, Germany and norway
+Caitlin Jenkinson here in libya haha
Caitlin Jenkinson You've got Sweden as well.
someone help I'm in the USA..... We need better education
Stop voting for the far right then.
"Easy Danish" also the interviewer asking a question in less than 1 sec :))
Thank you guys so much! Please keep making Danish videos, we need them! :)

Great job! Thank you for your hard work in making this video. I hope to visit your lovely country one day.
Gratis means free in Spanish too and Niveau means level in french too! :0
+hOI!!!!!! i'm tEMMIE!! and in portuguese :)
Gratis is free as well in Dutch.
Also in Indonesia gratis means free
Gratis means free in a lot of languages.
same in german too
Mange tak for videoen! Den var så hjælpsom!
just 2 videos from Easy Danish? :(
There are now 6 videos :)
I love all Scandinavian languages.
I like the Danish language, and these videos. Free education is good.
Please make MORE VIDEOS!!!
Episode 3 is here: ua-cam.com/video/EFzPDGypeLs/v-deo.html
More danish please :)
I'll apply for the exchange program in Syddansk Universitet (in Odense), hopefully I'll get the chance to study there
Free= gratis. In Indonesia we use gratis, too. besøg (if I'm not mistaken)= bezuk (visit). We share some vocabularies and that's why I encourage myself to learn Danish.

Fedt! Har du planer om at lave nye episoder? :)
Yes, please make more Danish vids, am trying to learn Danish as well. Not easy lol.
Episode 6 er lige udkommet :)
Please do more videos!
Episode 6 er lige udkommet :)
Very easy to understand from the subtitles as I speak Norwegian, but very hard to understand from the spoken sound
All i wanna say is danishes are good looking.i wish i be there for studying.i love the unique structures and clean surrounding there
The last person he interviewed was the hardest to understand! Does he come from a different regional dialect than most of the other people?
Mange tak for denne videon :) Det hjaelper mig forbedrer min udtale meget bedre.
more easy danish please!!
Episode 3: ua-cam.com/video/EFzPDGypeLs/v-deo.html

lovely language. lots of similar words with German.
yep, makes sense since both are germanic languages
It's really interesting that most of the interviewees are studying Social Studies, Art History, Philosophy... I'd like to study a PhD in Aarhus.
I’m from Belgium, I speak Dutch and surprisingly I understand a lot
As a Norwegian, i surprisingly understood like 95% of what they were saying.
Are they same language?
@@jpandv3 they're mutually intelligable. So a dane and Norwegian can understand eachother to some degree
Er der kun 2 "easy danish" videoer :_( vi - flittige motiverede dansk elever- har brug for flere : ) please!
Vi producerer flere nu. Episode 6 er lige kommet ud.
Please make a video which explains danish grammar, because in this way it is cool but nobody can understant anything at all
Perhaps we will :)
I want to hear an entire interview with the guy at the end!
k so how many of these do I need to watch before I can understand Kierkegaard?
Please update more easy danish :D
Here is episode 3 :) ua-cam.com/video/EFzPDGypeLs/v-deo.html
For me, Danish sounds like english but reversed. They stop their voice in very unexpected way while speaking. Very cool to listen though
I'm new to scandinavian languages, 1:05 why did she say "det" instead of "den"? Is it sort of youth slang?
Al Bundy Because it's correct. Det is a Danish equivalent for the in English, det and den depends on whether the noun that is specified is et or en and uddannelsessystem is et.
Steve Jobs Takk!
I thought these guys spoke too fast but after reading some comments I realized I'd better give up learning Danish altogether, lol It´s a beautiful language, though and the people are amazing!
Can foreigner get there for free study too? I would love to. The culture and weather is perfect for me.
Qué útil un vídeo. Tak for det.
Thanks for this video. :) So people don’t have to pay for the university?
Could you please do one in Skanderborg?
I don't speak any danish at all so it confuses me so much trying to read along with the subtitles. It's as if they aren't even saying the words that are written because each word is said so fast and "gently'
takk takk
mange tak!
Free=gratis (spanish and danish) 👌
+Dorianne Acosta and portuguese... one of the few words i didnt had to learn :D
Actually also in Indonesian language, there's a word Gratis which mean Free.
polish too
"gratis" in polish is used almost exclusively when you're talking about shop bargains and stuff, in other situations there are the words "darmowy" or "bezpłatny"
Damn I wish I could say things like that about countries my garbage education system.
So schnell, Ich versteh nicht
Are there any plans to do segments in other cities like Kopenhavn or is it just Aarhus for now?
+GlobalGamingGroup We will defiantly make some episodes in Copenhagen and other places around Denmark. Would you prefer of we did the interviews in Copenhagen?
I don't care really, I just found the choice of starting city interesting.
I think I just saw Hozier
i'm trying to learn danish can someone help me with the practice please I'm still a beginner
Why didn't you continue making vids? :(
Episode 6 er lige udkommet :)
Was there ever an easy Danish 1?
+dragan176 Yes! Just search Easy Danish 1
Everyone looks so tall
The Dannish TV show Heartless brought me here... to the dannish speaking community. ❤
Mein Gott!!!!
So close but so far!
The text is very close to german but the pronounce is a mix of english, old german and norwegian lol
It sounds very unlike the text and actually this makes it so hard for me.
Swedish and norwegian are clearer to understand.
Keep struggling!!

In Denmark is gratis to study?
How on earth could you read that thing as such?
Wow. In Denmark education is free. I always thought that may be only in post USSR countries as legacy
No, it's the case in the better educated countries. Europe, Scandinavia etc. The less educated have huge college fees, like the U.S.....
No se que dice pero me gustaría aprender danes
mere, tak.
2b or not 2b

asi que eso explicaria por que hay tanto colombiano copando las universidades argentinas
EDUCATION IS FREE?! SIGN ME UP OMG
We actually get paid 930$ a month :P
gratis means free in indonesian lmao
Okay, even reading the subtitles I still couldn't understand the last guy.
Welcome to how basically everybody in Jutland speaks :P
All those that study psycology and medicin are literally the most School happy people in the World. You have to have your grades in near only 12 and very very few 10s if you wanna make it (thats like a's and a+'s)
Why does Danish just sound like people are mumbling German and Mandarin at the same time
I am 100% sure the law student will realise it is not free when he starts earning a lawyer salary
mer dansk takk
Episode 6 er lige udkommet :)
Nothing is free.
You pay your school and you can be sure that you pay it more than it should be.
Biologi!!!!!! Ja!
It is really hard to follow the conversation. They speak way too fast.

You know Danish, you already know german😊
If you ask what do you think of the education system in Spain, the poeople would start insulting and crying.
EASY danish 😭😂
OMFG !
i was thinking that every danish woman and man look like models.
I give up already lol. Seems like it's very garbled compared to the spelling Compared to Norweigan at least.
Danes really need to spit out their potatoes out of their mouth when they talk
This house want be dead house.
