Can They Learn A Language In 7 Days? | The Scandinavian Challenge 

I'm from Denmark and can honestly say they all did very well. Especially since they only had 7 days. We have a lot of people (emigrants/refugees) who have lived here for several years and can barely speak Danish.

I think that it would be way cooler to see an Scandinavian person learn another Scandinavian language in 7 days. For instance, a Swedish person could learn Norwegian pretty fast IMO. Great challenge though.

I absolutely loved this video! They all did so well. Fantastic way of showcasing your product!

*I learned to fluently talk and write in english* in a year WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING. *Literally* What I did is... •Learn basics "hello, my name is, my t-shirt is yellow etc" •Watch tons of videos in english bc I wanted to •Possibly put a word in google translator That's it

You should challenge people not from Ireland to learn Irish

Wow! It must be hard. Must be even harder for a romance speaker... Another good experiment would be challenge germanic native speakers from Sweden, Denmark and Norway to learn Portuguese, Spanish and Italian! hahahaha

Omg the lady with short straight brown hair is my teacher if you see this we miss you at Chesham

This is the perfect way to show off the effectiveness of Babbel. I think it is important to realize that all these contestants speak at least 2 languages - their mother tongue & English. Learning a 3rd language is easier if you already speak 2 languages. Nonetheless, I am very impressed.

R.I.P. those who had to learn Danish. /A northern Swede.

Those that ended up speaking norwegian actually sounded more danish to me.

ngl, this has made me wanna jump straight back into norwegian 😹😹

I feel sorry for those who chose Danish. I dont think Danish people understand Danish. No one do.

Ah, får får får? Nei, får får ikke får, får får lam

As a Dane, i'm impressed.

The Danish tongue twister should’ve been “Stativ Stakit Kasket”. It’s a classic

Have hem learn Icelandic in a week, then we can talk

10:18 omg that was pure Swedish! 😂 I’m really impressed!

When the last girl said vem var bäst I didn't hear any accent

How does Danish sound like to foreigners when comparing to Norwegian and Swedish?

I am going to try this myself but with Duolingo. I have picked Danish.

i really love to see other people learn a language i have talked my whole life im danish

These people are so funny. :) Very entertaining. Good marketing!

I contacted customer service and they told me that Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish start at a beginnerevel and go all the way to A2. And if you want to learn German and Italian they start at a beginner's level and go all the way through B1.

Omg I’m a proud Dane right now🥺🥰

I feel so bad for the two girl who had to learn Danish, our language is so hard to learn

Jag är också upphetsad när jag tittar på den här videon! 🤫🤣👏

Been in DK for 4 and a half years, and I'd never heard that toungtwister

Yay mentioned Skam 😍

Wow....i Am from Norway and you guys are really good😱🐥

I’ve been learning Norwegian for a week and this made me feel really bad about myself 😂

i'm impressed. I have been learning french for 3 years and i still understand nothing

I understood Danish more than Swedish which I'm currently learning

its funny cuz I know swedish and its funny to hear them talk even though I am not fluent.

One of them was my teacher...... Miss. Hinz

We should have had "rødgrød med fløde!" or "jeg plukker frugt med en brugt frugtplukker."

I'm actually a bit impressed by the Danish learners here. Danish is a fucked up language wrt. pronunciation and regularity. I would have expected them to have a slight disadvantage compared to the others.

Still sitting here waiting for someone to create and Icelandic course 🙄

So much fun ! Cheers guys and great job ! :D

Sju sjösjuka sjömän såg sju sköna sjuksköterskor. - I'm beyond happy I understood that one!

The thing that scares me the most about Swedish is the notion of having pitch accents. (What. The. Hell.) No wonder Swedish sounds so sing-songy. If they don't do all that up-and-down, it's a completely different word!

Im from Denmark :)

I would like to learn speaking portuguese, so i can finally understand my friends xD

That's actually pretty impressive! Wouldn't have been able to do it better myself :D And that swedish tongue twister is hardcore. I'm danish, so I do understand some swedish, but that was just a bunch of swushy sounds to me xD

Great video! This is so interesting :)

It’s just an advertisement, but still interesting to watch.

The girl that had to learn Swedish sounded Norwegian, quite funny!

MIsleading title, they already knew related languages. Enjoyed the video anyway, I'd say they did pretty good! Im Norwegian btw.

The tongue twister in danish "Far, får får får, nej, får får ikke får, får får lam" is meant to be spoken in a northern danish dialect, as the first word "far" (dad) is pronounced the same way as "får" there, så it ends up being pronounced "får får får får".

"why not try being an assistant to your boss meaning i mean medical secretary even not to a lying-in clinic such like WINHEALTH at diamond hills.MISS THOSE MOMENTS P.E. UNIFORM.''By:odessa18"

Should've got the danish people to say "Rødøjede røgede ørreder fra Rødovre". For a non-native speaker this will sound like gutteral gibberish. It means: "Smoked redeyed trouts from Rødovre (a danish city)".

The Dane went kind of easy on them with that tongue twister. It could have been much worse! Like "røde røgede ørreder"

Gabriel my name is also Gabriel and Im also from Brazil !

Yay miss hinz probs noticed

8:17 I was ding to try that and I can Swedish but hahahhahaah wtf

Great challenge !!!xD

Brazilian, uhuuuuuuuuul!

Me and my friends vibing in quarantine on face time:

great furniture stores

Those coffeecups tho...

That's completely unfair :D Norwegian is easy whilst Danish is one of the most of the hardest languages in the world. Also of course the German girl will have an advantage over the Brazilian guy

When she said far får får får? Nej får får ikke får, får får lam i lost it

Er jeg den eneste som er norsk.

1:32 that's basically what danish is

Great clip. Fun fact that girl that should learn swedish was sounded more like norweigian than swedish. She said Jeg instead of Jag. 😏

I wish to speak south american spanish

They always get å wrong and Thinks its an a

Iceland???

Any Nordic words that mean something different in each respective language?

Anyone can learn any language in seven days but to learn a language to a high degree of fluency is a whole other thing.

I’m danish

“jeg er træt men også lidt ophidset” shahah

"LITE UPPHETSAD" HAHAHA NEEEEJJJJJ

The title of this video is misleading. There is a big difference between being able to carry on a basic, beginning textbook conversation ("Hej, jag heter Tomas. Vad heter du?") and "speaking a language." Ok, Swedish champ, translate this: Varför främjar de den vilseledande tanken att det är möjligt att lära sig ett främmande språk på sju dagar? Det beror på att denna video endast är en annons.

0:36 dat brazilian accent XD

The persons that was going to learn Norwegian talked more danish at the start

de har till använda Babbel. Duolingo är bäst till lärt språk. Jag har redan lära danska och svenska på Duolingo. Du har till betala för hela app i Babbel, men Duolingo är fri för alla.

Mi lernas esperanton 🙂

I am learning spannish damn

My 7 year old son could speak english quite well when he has 6. He learned it from watching RU-vid.

Those who had to learn danish were absolutely screwed from the beginning.

Pls do german!

Far får får får? Nej, får får lam :)

Danish sounds like a norwegian with a potato jammed in their throat. Swedish is like the they need to clear their throat. Norwegian sounds normal, im not biased, trust me. Danish and Norwegian spelling is very similar (atleast in bokmål) so I would think most Norwegians and Danes would understand most of eachothers writing without any training. The pronounciation though, is a different story. If I don't concentrate very hard, I can barely understand a word of Danish as a Norwegian, even if the words are almost the same, to me it sounds like they're pissdrunk or something. Norwegians and Swedes, given their dialects aren't too harsh, could probably talk to eachother no problem. But reading swedish is a bit harder, I think its based more on french or something. Norwegian is in many ways "in the middle" of Danish and Swedish. As the Danes forced us to talk Danish for 200-300 years, so it affected our language very heavily, afterwards, we made one language for the cityfolk who wanted to speak "Norwegian Danish" which became Riksmål, and then Bokmål. (Book tongue/goal) Then some guy went around all over Norway and collected dialects, and then made a language out of that called Nynorsk. (New Norwegian) which was a bit closer to swedish in speech.

Noen norske her? ;)

Person with the best knowledge of english will win. How do I know? I learned danish at 23 får far få får? was that the sentence? their pronounciation is killing me though

No

The dude from brazil sounded native

En to mann at lære norsk var så greit

.

Is babbel free?

Oh crap, all of the languages sound the same to me! Is that good or bad?

SKAM

I xbrg get

I am not fan of Danish because it sounds weird & lazy but i am Dane

hmm funny how these people know more scandinavian than the migrants who have lived here for over a year. well i guess it is our fault for not paying them unlimited money

WHY IS THERE NO FINNISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
