It's actually very good that you didn't translate the words and focused on phonetics. Meaning plus visuals plus sound would have been too much. Here we only learn to associate a certain sound with a certain group of letters and that's a very good approach 🌟🤗
I am intermediate level in Norwegian Bokmål / German / Swedish and advanced level in Dutch and upper beginner level in Old Norse / Icelandic, and I understand most of the Danish words because most of the words are similar to the words in the other languages I know, and I am beginner level in Danish and Faroese and Gothic, but I can understand a lot of the words and sentences, including lines in lyrics - it’s interesting that there is this word dreng in Danish that comes from the Old Norse word drengr!
I don't know really anything about Danish, but I'm taking a class on pronunciation so I'm looking around at videos of people teaching pronunciation. I really liked this video. You have a lot of examples, you're very clear on everything. I really liked this video. Thanks for putting it out there! Now I feel like I could MAYBE read some Danish words. Haha
Danish pronunciation is like a mix of English + German pronunciation rules, very modern sounding and pretty, and I am intermediate level in Norwegian Bokmål / German / Swedish and advanced level in Dutch and upper beginner level in Old Norse / Icelandic, and I understand most of the Danish words because most of the words are similar to the words in the other languages I know, and I t’s interesting that there is this word dreng in Danish that comes from the Old Norse word drengr - I am beginner level in Danish and Faroese and Gothic, but I can understand a lot of the words and sentences, including lines in lyrics!
Found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I'm loving it! It's so rare to find a certain language phonetics being explained, and as a linguist myself, I have to say - this is brilliant!! Thank you so much! Greetings from Croatia :)
Mange tak!!! This has helped me so so much! I am new learning danish and I love it even if it is hard so I am so happy I found your channel! You explain it so well.
Hej Thomas. I just discovered your channel and I'm so happy that I found it. Your videos are awesome and really help me a lot. Especially this one about pronounciation made so many things clearer in my head 😃 When will you release a second part about this topic? It is still missing the letters y å ae ø. Can't wait to learn about them! 🇩🇰
6:52 ...og1 7:06 ...og2 These two really confused me, so i had to put these 2 time stamps..and you can notice the difference after several tries & close listen. Og2 you need to close your lips further when you finish the word, unlike og1 where your lips aren't that stressed on the end.
Nice video. I wonder when Spoken Danish got alienated from Written Danish. I was doing a research on the similarities between English and Danish. I noticed that both languages' spoken forms are very different from its written form. With English, the loaning of Latin words into English during Early Modern English period completely changed English.
A Germanic language with a Latin vocabulary (mostly). To sound intelligent, people use those Latin words that your heart has no feeling or emotion toward.
Thank you for this video, Thomas. You are the best! I am learning danish and your videos are helping me a lot. Could you give me a hint on how to pronounce correctly the word "sød"? It seems impossible! When I say it to my google translator, the app does not 'understands' what I am saying....
Did 2 1/2 years at sprog skole.Ikke snakke om pronunciation.Why .....?This shines a light on my problem of pronunciation..doh.Only taken me x years to find this ....
Thanks, Joy! It is unfortunate, but the docs link isn’t working anymore, as it was connected to Liam’s account, and he and I aren’t working together anymore.
Undskyld Tomas, jeg har to spørgsmål, 1, Jeg skulle ringe til ham nu. 2, jeg skulle besøge ham i morgen. Disse sætninger er rettigheder eller hvad? Please answer me, because we have some discussion or debate with my friends. Hilsner Ahforom Haile
Hej! You can say those sentences, but be aware that it sounds like something you were supposed to do, but didn't. (Because of "skulle", which is in the past tense). It's better to use "skal" to make it sound more relevant to the present.
Thanks for helping me because always I following you and I learned many words and pronunciation, so God bless you 💚💚💚 But I think sometimes different with Google translate that means,for example, English, I should call him now, Danish , jeg skulle ringe til ham nu. English, I should visit him tomorrow. Danish, jeg skulle besøge ham i morgen.
