      With respect, these words may be difficult for non-native speakers but for those learning Danish, it would be advisable to seek a qualified teacher of how to pronounce Danish (there is an excellent one online). Sticking the tongue out is not usual when speaking and, even if it is meant to make it more obvious, it gives a wrong impression and wrong sound.

I am studying from many different resources but I am having a really hard time finding help with pronunciation. I love your videos. Thank you for speaking slowly and repeating multiple times because it helps me so much. Also I can simply roll back the video and hear it as many times as I want. I have clicked the bell so I can get notified when you post. The only thing that really helps is hearing a native speaker who has the patience to keep repeating their self, hahaha. Thank goodness for videos that can be rewound. Thank you again! Much love!

    • @Vesperfelis
      @Vesperfelis 3 роки тому +7

      My theory is the location;
      Danes were probably heavily influenced by the German language that uses the aired R, and then it became difficult to pronounced the ð with the new r, so the soft D was born.
      I also think danish’s spelling makes it seem more potato-y than it is. If Danes kept using the ð like in Old Norse, maybe it wouldn’t seem so confusing and weird on why they pronounce their D’s so weird.
      Imagine if Rød Grød med fløde was spelt Røð grøð med fløðe. Then it would make a tad bit more since to the eye.
      Just a theory, though.

    Each Danish word has 4 clearly different pronunciations:
    1) The one that you think it is by what you have learned so far.
    2) The one the dictionary's phonetics notations teach you.
    3) The one the Danish teachers teach you in their videos.
    4) The one the Danish teachers actually say when they're talking fluent.

      @ha181293 6 років тому +12

      Letters are pronounced differently
      G is hard in the beginning of a word, but if it's in the middle of a word, it often sounds like J
      D is also hard if it's in the beginning of a word, if it's in the middle or the end of a word it's usually soft (sounds like "the" or "th-")
      We also have æ, ø and å
      Which have their own sounds
      Æ is like when you say "say" but stops mid word, so you don't get the y sound, and if you skip the s, as well, and prenounce 'a' as you would, had it been in the word "say" = you'll have Æ
      Ø -I'm sorry i can't come up with any english words to illustrate how this is pronounced
      Å this can actually be pronounced in more than one way:
      It's like you begin to say the letter "o" but you stop halfway, you kind of chop it in half (with an edge to it)
      It can also (in some words) sound like the "oo" sound in the word "poor", removing p and r, but this is only, if Å is in the middle of a word
      There are many rules, both written and unwritten in the Danish language
      There is as an example no manual to find out if the article should be "en" or "et" (in english the articles are "a" and "an" in French "le" and "la") this does not, however mean that you can just place them where you want. No! Every word has a correct article, but to find out which word has which article, you simply have to learn and memorize.
      No female/male words to guide you, no "in front of consonants or vocals this article", No. You just have to remember them.
      But I can tell you already, that the article is the same in the end when you bend it
      Example:
      Et træ (a tree)
      Træet (the tree)
      En hest (a horse)
      Hesten (the horse)
      Et skib (a ship)
      Skibet (the ship)
      En fugl (a bird)
      Fuglen (the bird)
      As you can see, the ending is actually just the article, moved to the end of the word and connected
      I could go on but I will end this now, before I use up all the space in the comment section xD

Now on the subject of Danes trying to get you to say "RØDGRØD MED FLØDE," I would always try to have them say "very well," "The victorious vikings wandered wearily" or "the brussel sprouts are wrapped up in aluminum foil and are in the refrigerator with the rest of the vegetables" "vacuum cleaner"

    But yeah, danish IS one of the most difficult languages to learn (next after finnish, I think).
    Example :
    The word "gør" can both mean "do" and "barking".
    Jeg gør = I do (something).
    Hunden gør = The dog is barking (unless the dog is DOING something else). ;P

      En smule sent, men det svære for folk som ikke er fra Danmark, er måden hvorpå vores ord kommer både fra halsen og fra munden (altså bagfra og forfra). På engelsk taler man fra munden.
      Prøv at sige en dansk sætning og læg mærke til det.
      Hvis det ikke var forstået, så er langt de fleste sprog kun fra en del af munden, derfor er dansk ualmindeligt svært at tale.

      If you don't mind another danish girl answering your question: we are taught English in school at a pretty young age - it is a mandatory subject in school (most often 6+ years). We also watch a lot of movies and TV shows in English due to USA's and United Kingdom's roles in the film industry, and the fact that we tend to prefer subtitles over synchronization. I also prefer to read books in English, unless it's a book by a Scandinavian author - I'm pretty sure I'm not the only Dane (or Scandinavian for that matter).

    • @CorvintusDK
      @CorvintusDK 6 років тому +4

      Danish is spoken through both the front of the mouth and back (the throat). When you have to pronounce danish words, you have to relax your throat or you'll be messing up the words big time.
      Most languages are spoken through either the front or the back, which is what makes danish a bitch of a language.
      Danish can also be spoken without really moving your mouth, which you'll notice a lot in especially Copenhagen.

  • @99thMonkeyNet

    Its weird how danish people find english so easy and english people find danish so hard? Anyway, guys there is litterally a thousand words in danish that are completely the same in english - the two languages are very similar. Its just the pronounciation. How about this sentence: "I can see a cat" - "Jeg kan se en kat" - Here english people might try to pronounce the word "Jeg" like "Djeck" - but its very similar to "I" - "I" is pronounced "aaa-eee" - "Jeg" is pronounced "eee-aaa-eee" - the vikings did so much plundering in england, that the two languages are virtually the same - just pronounced differently.

  • @Robwolf28
    @Robwolf28 3 роки тому

    Thank you so much for pronouncing the words I was using google translator the voice is pretty good, but you helped me more. The word vinegar is closer than you know see Vingård in Danish, which is víngarði (vineyard or grape farm) in Icelandic or Old Norse. Then this is also where the word wine comes from because they grow grapes in a vineyard where they make wine. The vine part is vin see like in Old Norse min and thin is spelled mine, thine in English, but the gar part I am uncertain of the origin but it must mean sour wine.

    Hi Elise, I found this video very interesting. Danish is quite different from what I imagined.

I will practice that sentence at the end before I come to Denmark :-)

I, however, am the only 1 in the family that doesn't speak Danish as we left to move to Scotland with Dad's job when I was only 1 1/2, so was barely speaking English!! I loved watching this, I parroted the family when we would have Rødgrød med fløde as a dessert, quite often following Frikadellen. I also learned, whether this is true or not I don't know, that that phrase was used in Denmark during the war to tell if some one was a foreign spy or not, by getting them to pronounce it!! Thanks for the video, it brought a huge smile to my face watching it... :o)
