From what I can see danish grammar is pretty easy, the only difficult parts comes with pronunciation and for the many exceptions, but overall it doesn’t seem that difficult
If that would've be possible i would dedicate all of my life to languages because it's what i love but i have so many exams and i think that all languages are special in their own way and culture❤😊
For now my focus is Finnish (video on that, please!) and German. But whenever I get around to learning a Scandinavian language, I'd probably pick Swedish or Norwegian.
I'm Danish. I had no idea what the guy at 8:46 was saying - had to read the subtitles :D The pronunciation was totally off which makes the language pretty much incomprehensible.
-Are you happy? -Yeah. -Wow, what's that like? Honestly riveting journalism. Asking the real questions. I mean no sarcasm here, I'm asking the same question! 😂
Olly, I'm enjoying your Norwegian stories book now, but I have a suggestion for future editions: Include an index, general glossary, and tranlations of all the stories
it´s. and it´s not dead... Icelanders can read old norse in the sagas, so icelandic is more or less old norse (written), speaking we really don´t know..
@@benjackson7872 actually he did about norwegian already and this is the second time he does about Danish and yet none about Swedish which has the most learners and speakers of these 3
Danish + Swedish ( very similar, 85% the same, just spelled and pronounced somewhat differently - and with very similar grammars in most important respects ) will be like a walk in the park compared to Icelandic 😂 - and somewhat similar to English in several ways.
I'm quite sure all (most?) of H. C. Andersen's stories were for kids, even if they were quite grim at times. Old stories for kids are actually usually quite grim in my opinion.

But you English speakers already speak "Danish" every single day without even knowing it - lots of basic words in Danish are very similar to their English counterparts, and there are also several grammatical similarities, so when we start learning English in Denmark ( + Norway & Sweden with their very similar languages ), it often feels as if we by magic already 'know" a simplistic older core English in advance and then "just" need to fill in the gaps and climb a few hurdles here and there. So learning English is almost second nature to us, and on top of that it also helps a lot that TV-programmes and films in foreign languages - mainly in English - are ALWAYS subtitled here in Scandinavia, never dubbed, so that we are usee to hearing all sorts of spoken English on a daily basis from an early age.
Learn Danish, and you are at least halfway into learning Norwegian and Swedish, maybe more. Basically, especially for the most apt learners, it's a three-fer. Three for one.
@@Svensk7119 Honestly for the best experience choose Norweigan it's easier to be understood and understand then trying between the other 2. As a Swedish speaker Danish spoken is sometimes very confusing but written is a lot simpler meanwhile Norweigan is much easier in everyway.

Dark is the D in Danish. There's no such thing as shallow happy happy happy. Any Dane will pick it out in a heartbeat. The depth and essence is missing. There has to be a point.

I had a danish grandad but sadly he past away before I was born 😢 but I have always wanted to learn this beautiful language ❤❤ love you Denmark
My condolences, and yeah it's a beautiful language! 😊
But Olly, I can't learn Danish, Korean, Arabic, French, Turkish, German, Italian, and Spanish, all right now xD
I agree hahahah I'm currently studying German at the moment and trust me I think that's enough haha
Now fucking Latin 🤦🏿
You can do it! 😊
Then learn Danish, Korean, Arabic, and French now and save Turkish, German, Italian, and Spanish for later.
I can sometimes
when the danish kid starts speaking his language and the lego pieces start assembling themselves 😱
I knew a Dane once. He was Great. His name was Scooby and he was the goodest boi!

Some danish grammar is pretty easy, but other just completely does not make sense
Absolutely. 4-year olds speak it, so how bad can it be?!? 😁
You gotta love stød, and blødt d /ð̠̻˕ˠ/
The pronunciations in Danish is often just guessing. Is the d soft, does the A sound like an A, E or Æ.

hold up! At 10:33 you show a picture that includes the Finnish flag, Finland is *not* part of Scandinavia, only Denmark. Sweden and Norway is
I hope this language becomes more popular, given the countries’s reputation.
This is great initiative
Old English was actually also written with a rhunic alphabet during its early period.
-Are you happy?
-Yeah.
-Wow, what's that like?

I worked as a bowyer/fletcher at my local museum in Denmark in the summers when I was just out of high school.
Love this

You bought me into it.
I heard that Icelandic was the closest to Old Norse.
true
it´s. and it´s not dead... Icelanders can read old norse in the sagas, so icelandic is more or less old norse (written), speaking we really don´t know..
Can you please do a video about Swedish as well
Followed by Norwegian and Finnish.

There's already a Norwegian one, and Swedish is coming up. @@benjackson7872

I find it really hard to find many danish resources...
My teeth are structured in a way that allows me to speak English, Russian and even Zulu, but I physically can't speak Danish.
Which languages do you speak?
"What´s that like?"
Is a killer.
Okay... so im currently learning icelandic, so i guess danish and swedish are next so i can pick a country to move to

is learning a language with a small number of speakers useful even if you may not go to the country where it's mainly spoken?
if you use it, then yes
By learning Danish, you gain the keys to the other North Germanic languages. Due to grammar and lexicon similarities.
Learn Danish, and you are at least halfway into learning Norwegian and Swedish, maybe more.

You just ordered tousand liter milk
"Why you should learn Danish".. Speaks all the time English.
Just put a hot potato in your mouth and speak so much less effort for the same result
There’s no reasons to learn Danish at all. That language sounds beyond awful.
Wanna learn a beautiful language??? Learn Swedish 😊
Nej, hvem fanden vil lære svensk! 😂 🇩🇰
Sweden is full of muslims who destroy that nation,I don't like it
Danish doesn't sound that bad. The west coast sound dreadful.
Jeg er tysker og jeg synes også at svensk lyder bedre end dansk. Unskyld for det.
@@poetzschc hvorfor lærer du dansk? Jeg taler også tysk og jeg synes tysk er bedre end dansk og svensk
Finnish is better than Danish
