Good luck! This is more effort than most European immigrants put in.

You will probably need a native speaker to help your pronunciation, especially for the 42 vowels, and the soft D, and stød.

For my first year studying Danish in Denmark, I could only speak "foreigner Danish" -- the bad accent that, somehow, other foreigners seem to understand (perhaps because we have a limited vocabulary) but which causes Danes to look confused, and repeat what they said in English.




Thanks for the encouragement. I think my soft d is pretty good but I'm definitely a beginner with regards to the vowels and the stød. It's all part of the challenge, though :-)
