As you’ve probably noticed, Transparent is getting a facelift. All the blogs have been moved from http://www.transparent.com/YourLanguange to http://blogs.transparent.com/YourLanguage. The blogs’ design is being changed too. Don’t worry – everything is going to be just as nice and functional as before, if not better!

While we’re at it, here are some useful online resources for learning Danish:

• http://sproget.dk. This is the online dictionary of Danish. It’s backed by the Government and the Danish Language Council, among others, so the contents are top-notch. The homepage lets you look up words in several dictionaries at the same time. It’s a great tool to check spellings – but be aware that it’s all in Danish…

• http://translate.google.com. I guess you already know this one… The Danish-English-Danish engine has improved a lot recently, and gives some excellent translations. However, it still translates ”Hvor meget koster gulerødderne?” (How much do the carrots cost?) as ’How much does the carrots’ – so use with caution…

• http://www.acapela-group.com/text-to-speech-interactive-demo.html. Acapela is a company that makes text-to-speech engines… You type something, and the Acapela robot pronounces it for you! You have to pick a Danish voice in the list – Mette (female) or Rasmus (male). The quality of the pronunciation surprises me every time I try it. Definitely a place to go if you feel lost in the jungle of Danish sounds…

• http://www.dr.dk/ligetil. The Danish national broadcasting corporation, DR (Danmarks Radio), has made this online newspaper. Ligetil  means easy, accessible. The site consists of short articles written entirely in ”Basic Danish”. A good place to start reading the language.

I know a lot of you would like to watch Danish tv, but unfortunately DR has blocked its online tv from computers not in Denmark… If you’re here, though, you should take a look at http://www.dr.dk/nu/live#/DR1.

Do you know any Danish-learning resources not mentioned in the list? Feel free to share with other learners in the comments section!
