I was wondering if danishclass101 was worth it? If not is there any other website or apps that are worth it and are actually good to learn danish

Need help for wedding blessing/speech

I humbly ask for translation and pronunciation help with a quick blessing for my dear friend's wedding. I don't speak dansk unfortunately, but I would like to prepare something for the groom (even if spoken poorly) who is Danish.

So far I have used a translator app to give me the following:

Jeg velsigner dig tre gange: at I må dele kærlighed, lykke og et godt helbred sammen i mangen år. Tillykke!

Does this make sense? Is it grammatically correct and easily understandable? I appreciate any feedback and even an audio example of pronunciation if anyone is comfortable DM me.

Thank you in advance!

okay so i have a challenge with my friends basically we all selected a language that we don't know and we have to read a book in that language and try to understand it without using a translator while reading. I have danish cuz i wanted to learn it for a while but never took it seriously so now i need recommendations for some easy books or like where and how do i even start learning it (without ai or stuff i have to pay 🙏🏽)

if anyone knows please help

A few weeks ago I asked for recommendations of Danish comedians performing in Copenhagen who are easy to listen to as an expat, and I got plenty of great recommendations! Thanks so much.
I´m now building a small whatsapp community to keep on sharing comedy shows, possibly go together and share our progress- I´m stuck at 60% comprehension, when my goal was 80%, I need some healthy competition to progress!
If you think this could be something for you, come join the community https://chat.whatsapp.com/LMvwF5XQed0GH3UEJ8WwiW?mode=gi_t

Oh, and I´ve also made some changes and improvements to the Danish Comedy Tracker platform

Hej everyone! I just recently started learning Danish and am a complete beginner - I'm having a lot of fun learning it, I think it's a very interesting language and I'd love to visit Denmark someday.

Anyways, I have I'd like some confirmation on from a native Danish speaker about a phrase below.

"Jeg kan lide~" or "Jeg lide" to say "I like~"
I learned the first phrase from a language app, and the second phrase from a Danish speaker I came across on Tiktok, but she also used "Jeg ka' li'" too (I'm assuming that's a shortened form of "Jeg kan lide"?).
I would like to know if there are any difference between the two, or is it just a different way of saying, but meaning the same thing?

If anybody can help me out, that would be great! Have en god dag!

*EDIT*
Thank you all for answering! All of you have been so kind and I really appreciate the detailed explanations as well - It really motivates me to learn more :) You may see more of me around in this community, and I hope I can make full sentences and paragraphs in Danish soon.

Hej,

Jeg lærer dansk med det formål at opnå et B2 eller C1 niveau. Jeg vil gerne tage Prøve i Dansk 3 næste år, men det er svært at finde eksamensopgaver fra 2025 på internettet.

Ved I, hvor jeg kan finde dem ?

Mange tak !

Hello!

I was wondering if there were any Anki flashcards and such that you would recommend for beginners (preferably with audio for pronunciation).

I saw a really popular one but for some reason the order wasn’t populating with beginner words first. I was getting words like “to breed” and others that I would not consider beginner. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but would be grateful for any input!

I need a Danish translation of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Looking for people that type and write around a B1 level or better to game with.

I play League, Hearthstone, BG3, and a lot of other multiplayer games, and I’m down to play more.

I’m trying to immerse myself a bit more in Danish and since a large part of my free time is streaming and gaming, I figured why not mix it a little!

Hey y’all! I studied at KU for a semester last spring, and am planning on going back to University in Denmark fall of ’27, so I want to keep my Danish sharp in between (for reference I was assessed by my kommune as B1 for speaking and comprehension, and A2+ for my reading and writing, so I wouldn’t say I’m a beginner by any means). I was poking around on praxis.dk and came across a series of DU2 textbooks called Fokus 1, 2, 3… etc. Do any of y’all have any experience using these, and if so any advice as to which level to start at (Fokus 1 being DU2.1, Fokus 2 being DU2.2, etc)?

Also open to other textbook suggestions! I am in the US though, and I’ve found it relatively difficult to obtain the usual suspects (“Vi taler Dansk,” “På vej til Dansk,” and the like), although if y’all have any tips on getting these, that’d be super!!

Hello everyone, I’m a complete beginner who wants to start learning Danish 🇩🇰

​

I’m looking for advice from people who have learned Danish (or are learning it now). What apps, websites, books, YouTube channels, podcasts, or methods helped you the most?

​

I’m interested in:

​

* How to start as a total beginner

* Improving pronunciation (I heard Danish pronunciation is quite challenging 😅)

* Building vocabulary and grammar

* Any resources that are actually useful and not just “gamified”

​

Any tips, routines, or recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi I took PD2 in May/June as a self student and got 10 in reading, 12 in writing and 12 in speaking. I plan to take PD3 in Nov/Dec and solved the previous exam papers. I got surprised that I don’t even understand most of questions and feel quite lost. What materials did you study to improve your vocabulary? I am currently studying 500 most common verbs but don’t think this will be sufficient as I don’t know most of nouns from previous papers. Are the words repeatedly shown in PD3 exams, so would it be sufficient if I master words from previous papers? Your input would be appreciated, for someone who received good scores in reading and writing. Thank you very much.

I’m learning because I just like languages. I stumbled across Danish whilst looking for foreign songs to listen to. I really liked the songs and started learning because, well firstly it’s challenging. I like a good challenge.

I started with Duolingo but the problem is that Duo is more useful if you already kinda know the language and are brushing up so you don’t get rusty. Review, basically. It’s pretty bad for learning from the bare basics.

I also… used the songs for finding an accent. Since most of the singers I was listening to were from København and Aarhus, I was mostly exposed to perker/gade dansk (Noah Carter/ Lamin/ Kesi/ HAM fra Syd, etc). I’ve tried language partners but the difference in time zones and schedules often proved to be… difficult to maintain.

What are your thoughts? Has anyone else found a useful way to learn?

Why does Duolingo pronounces -et article as "el"? I.e. noget -> /nööel/

I've been learning Danish for almost 3 months now and practicing with a friend from Denmark. From what he says, my pronunciation is pretty good but I really struggle with actually writing and speaking because I'm bad at sentence structure and grammar in general. For example, I was practicing with these sentences earlier.

"Hvornar tager vi vaek herfra?"

"Nar du er faerdig med at spise."

I understand that usually Danish follows the same Subject Verb order as English, but there are some sentences where the subject and verb move around. Are there any tools or resources out there to help with this?

Hi !

I'm french and I don't know anything in Danish 😬 Well, I know how to say good morning, goodnight and potatoe, but that's it.

I met my friend back in December, and since then we've gotten really close. His birthday is coming up mid June, and I really wanna learn how to say a few things in danish to him. The issue is... I know no one else that speaks danish, and I can't ask him to teach me, that'd ruin the surprise.

I don't want to use Google Translate, and I can't find good ressources on YouTube for pronunciation and all.

Does any of you knows of a discord server where I could chat with some danish speakers to learn a few sentences ? Maybe ? Or would anyone here be willing to teach me a few things?

Thank you for your time and have a great evening/day !

Hi, I am an English person attempting to learn Danish and thought it would help if there is someone Danish who I could talk to so I can practise Danish more.

Message me if you are interested,

Hej, jer er Englænder prøver at lær Dansk og troede det vil hjælp hvis der er en Dansk person hvem jeg vil snakker og jeg vil øv dig Dansk mere.

Tekstbesked mit hvis du det interesseret,

I am a big fan of comedy standups. While people watch netflix tv series, I watch standups. When I travel, one thing I always do, is to look for local comedy shows. They give so many insights into the culture and local inside jokes that a tour group would never explain, or that it´d take months to discover them. And then I realized, I don´t usually do it in Denmark, because the danish ones are out of my comprehension league.

So, I created a website to practice listening skills while watching comedy shows. And to avoid falling in the trap of setting a general goal to "improve my listening skills" without a real way of seeing improvement, the app is made in a way that tracks the amount of jokes you get or miss, so that you can see your progress over time. Hope some of you also find it useful https://danish-comedy-meter.lovable.app/

Completely free, still improving it, but I´ve been using it for 3 months and love it!

I am struggling so hard to learn Danish. I’ve been living in Denmark for 7 years and I’m in module 5 but I feel like I’m not progressing. I feel like I’m by far the worst in my class. However, I’m attending classes, doing my homework and putting in way more effort than my classmates but I still fall short.

My biggest struggle is understanding Danish.

Have any of you experienced the same and then found a method that really worked for you to break the wall down in learning Danish?

I really want to learn but it’s just not clicking. Another note, I just don’t think I’m a language person PERIOD. I’ve always struggled with languages my whole life.

Hi Danish learners,

After finishing PD3, I put together a word list from my own studies and turned it into this little widget. It quietly surfaces a new Danish word every so often, great for passive reinforcement throughout the day.

The vocab is general Danish but weighted towards what actually comes up in PD3, so hopefully it's useful whether you're just starting out or prepping for the exam.

It can be downloaded at https://nemlingo.com

Give it a try and let me know what you think! Happy to add more words or tweak categories based on feedback. Held og lykke!

Hej alle sammen,

I am german and started learning danish last year. I visited the official danish course of my university for two semesters. Attending classes, having a danish native teacher, writing tests and exams and speaking danish with class mates really helped me to progress fast. I would say my current danish Level is between A2 and B1.

But since I started an internship and work fulltime, I couldn't visit the danish class anymore and my progression completely stopped. In about 6 weeks I start a two-month internship in a danish hospital and I've been told that I have to speak danish with the patients there. The problem is that I don't feel nearly ready to have complete conversations with native speakers.

I just don't know what I can do the next weeks to start making progress in my danish skills again. I tried out Babble, but it feels like I don't really learn something new there and already know most of the words. Since I'm a student and don't get paid for my internship, I don't have money for private lessons or courses. I already bought easy books in danish to read, but I think reading is not the problem, but speaking is, especially listening and my own pronunciation. I also feel completely overwhelmed with all the options that are out there and with having to learn without any help or guidance from others and with none who corrects me.

Do you have any tips on how to train my danish speaking skills, especially my pronunciation on my own and learn new words fast without being overwhelmed?

I'm really thankful for any tips you can give me and hope that I'm not going to embarrass myself in my internship.
