Staying in Copenhagen for a month. Possible to learn a little danish?

👋

Hello! I have visited Copenhagen before. This time i hope to visit with an intention of living like a local and be more immersed. is it feasible to learn bits of danish in person? I struggle to retain online language learning experiences long term.

I work in tech and will be working remotely. I am a little nervous about not having a social life. Staying near Assistens cemetary (not inside 😆 ). If there are any co working spaces or cafes which are more social, I would love to know. What are some hobbies, crafts, or skills i could pick in copenhagen which would be fun to do since i am here for a longer duration? I am very interested in art, design, and furniture. For example: a wood working workshop ?!

Sorry if it is too many questions!

Offering: Spanish | Seeking: Danish speaker for a short university interview

Hi everyone! I’m a university student from Colombia, and I need to interview someone from Denmark for a university assignment about Danish culture. It would only take around 5–10 minutes and consists of just 6 questions. The interview would be conducted in English and can be done through chat, I would really appreciate your help!

Music/Movies/Shows to learn danish?

Hii!! I'm trying to connect better with some danish relatives of mine, so I'm planning to surprise them by learning danish so that the next time they visit, I can speak to them without using majority english.

I learn languages better with music, movies, and shows, please give me recommendations!! I'm not opposed to watching kid's shows either, i feel like its a better stepping stone since my danish is really bad 😅

So if you know any sort of danish media, or even places where I can find movies/tv shows that are dubbed in danish, I'd really appreciate hearing about them!!

I'm a Danish teacher and I built an app that explains grammar mistakes instead of just marking them wrong

I teach Danish to adults at a language school in Silkeborg. For the past several months I've been building an app called Dansk Plus in my spare time, and it's at a point where I'd like some honest criticism.

The reason I started: when my students practise on their own, most apps just tell them an answer is wrong and move on. That teaches nothing. So this one explains every mistake — what the rule is, and which common error you just made — using actual grammatical terms.

What it does:

  • Grammar quizzes across 13 topics — nouns, verbs, word order and so on.
  • Practice module tests for DU2 and DU3, built like the real ones.
  • An AI teacher that goes through your mistakes after a module test and can explain them in 10 languages. Only the explanation is translated — the examples stay in Danish, because Danish is what you're learning.
  • Streaks, XP and friends, if that sort of thing keeps you going.

What it doesn't do:

  • No DU1 module tests. I haven't written them yet.
  • No listening or speaking practice. This is reading, writing and grammar.
  • It's a few weeks old with fewer than 100 users, most of them my own former students. You will find rough edges.

Price: grammar quizzes, lessons, streaks and friends are free. Module tests and the AI teacher are 29 kr/month, with one free test first so you can see what it's like before deciding.

Privacy: data is stored in the EU, I don't sell it, and there's no advertising or tracking in the app. Full policy at danskplus.dk/privacy.

Apple https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/dansk-plus-dansk-grammatik/id6788884819?l=da

I'd genuinely like criticism, especially of the grammar explanations themselves. If something is wrong or badly explained, tell me and I'll change it — I'm the one writing them.

Have you got any recommendations on mastering Danish pronunciation?

I've tried to find a nice coursebook dedicated to Danish pronunciation with audio files included and just failed. There isn't any. Is there a way to learn Danish pronunciation? Seems impossible to a beginner like me :/

I've found some books describing the Danish phonetic system but without audio files those are soft of useless.

Danish Music with Spanish?

Hi! I’m learning both Danish and Spanish and ran into a song with both recently (Børn Af Natten- Hola Bonita by Ankerstjerne & others). I know it’s a long shot, but do you know any other songs with both? Even if it’s just a few words of Spanish or vice versa? Thanks!

Formal Danish

I have my converastional danish down well enough that I can communicate and have good converstaions with native Danes but I would like to learn more formal/news type Danish. I read some DR articles or Politken articles but end up being lost by the second sentence. I want to be able to speak formally for work purposes and to strengthen my overall language skills. Any advise or resources?
