10 Birthdays in Denmark<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Do you remember your last birthday party? If you were living in Denmark at the time, there\u2019s a chance you do! \ud83d\ude42 I\u2019ve never been to a country where people are so obsessed with their birthdays; children, adults are looking forward to the presents and the cakes \u2013 even shops celebrate their birthdays, with hundreds of Dannebrog flags. (And no, it\u2019s not nationalism, it\u2019s just for the hygge<\/b>!)<\/p>\n

9 Danish Noun phrases for dummies<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a native speaker like me, Noun phrases look easy in Danish. After all, you\u2019ve only got to genders and two endings for the adjectives (t<\/b> or e<\/b>)! Of course, as a learner of Danish, things get a little bit more complex. Here I\u2019ve tried to boil things down into something you too can chew! (Yummy!)<\/p>\n

8 A Danish quiz<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

What is Denmark\u2019s national bird? And did the Danish language really get a new vowel? Give the quiz a go, and you\u2019ll be amazed how many \u00c6\u2019s, \u00d8\u2019s and \u00c5\u2019s you\u2019ll actually get! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

7 En or et \u2013 The peculiar sex life of Danish nouns<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Every Danish noun is either an en<\/b> or an et<\/b> word. But what is which, and how does it all stack up?<\/p>\n

6 Soft ds are not hard<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Mal mal mal <\/i>mad!<\/i><\/b> <\/i>For many learners, the so-called soft Ds of Danish are a nightmare. This post tells you why you should brigthen up and get those words out of your mouth! Actually, the soft Ds are very close to the TH sound of English brother\u2026<\/i><\/p>\n

5 100 most common written words in Danish<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

If you know these words, you can start to spell your way through ads in the MetroXpress newspaper, and maybe initiate a very basic conversation in the Copenhagen metro! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

4 Danish Pick-up Lines<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

A group of Italians I met in Spain were convinced that all Danes were \u201deasygoing\u201d and ready for a quick romantic adventure. While I can\u2019t guarantee the efficiency of these pick-up lines, now at least you\u2019ve got an excuse to flash your exotic accent at Danish bars!<\/p>\n

3 10 Danish Mountains You Should Climb<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Did you know that one of Denmark\u2019s highest peaks is called Himmelbjerget<\/b> \u2013 Sky Mountain? Yes, the pancake country\u201d of\u00a0 Denmark got plenty of mountains if you just know where to look for them. Read this post to find out\u2026<\/p>\n

2 Swearing in Danish<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of Danish tv serials like \u201dBorgen\u201d or \u201dThe Killing\u201d, you\u2019ve maybe noticed that the English F word has sneaked into Danish mouths, that tend to churn it out so it sounds like a fork<\/i>. But Danish has got plenty of other words to express your rage or frustration. Feel free to let it out in the comments section! >:-]<\/p>\n

1 Hello Goodbye<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Sometimes, the little short words are the most essential. Read this post, pick your best smile, and prepare yourself for the joyful side of Denmark. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
