    Fuckin hell, how long did that take you? I’m slowly picking up pieces but I don’t see myself becoming fluent at any point. Mange tak!

      Keep at it. Speak as much as you can, if any Danes switch over to English keep speaking Danish. Forget about trying to find rules for when to say et or en, there isn’t any. When it came to sounds, I just tried to match with how English sometimes sounds. When a word ends in ede like billede, its close to an English th sound. Stuff like that. Read newspapers and find a good TV show to watch, watch the news even. You’ll get there. 😊

      I have been here for 25 years. My Danish ex’s dad helped a lot, he gave me a reason to learn otherwise we couldn’t communicate.
