Hi! I’m currently learning Danish and I’ve realized that pronunciation is probably the hardest part for me 😭
I’m Dutch, so I’ve noticed that Danish sometimes has sounds or words that feel somewhat familiar because of Dutch, but the pronunciation can still be VERY different. I’m worried that I might accidentally apply Dutch pronunciation rules to Danish without realizing it.
I’m trying to focus on pronunciation from the beginning instead of developing bad habits and having to fix them later. I already know some of the basic pronunciation rules, like the soft d, but I feel like there are probably a lot of important things that beginners tend to miss.
So, for native Danish speakers or people who have learned Danish:
What would you say are the most important things to focus on when learning Danish pronunciation, and are there any common type of mistakes that i could avoid??
Any tips, corrections, or advice would be greatly appreciated! 🇩🇰❤️
Hiiii! I've been trying to learn Danish to surprise my boyfriend (he's Danish) by speaking it to him on his birthday.🥹
The problem is that I have no idea where to start. Should I focus on grammar first, sentence structure, vocabulary, or something else? What's the most efficient way to learn if my goal is to have simple conversations in a few months?
I'd also appreciate any resources (YouTube channels, apps, websites, textbooks, etc.) that actually helped you learn Danish. Thanks!
Small update: Thank you all so incredibly much!🥹 I realized I forgot to mention that I'm Dutch, so if that changes your advice, I'd love to hear it!
