As a dane I will give every tourist a good advice. Go outside Copenhagen. Denmark is much more than Copenhagen 😊 If you go outside Copenhagen then look for gust house called Kro. It’s a very small hotel but the food is often basic Danish food like our mom or grand mom made it 😋

[@KoldingDenmark]

@Palle Jakobsen You cannot say that enough. The icing on the cake is all the islands we have.

[@annahart69]

Palle Jacobsen, I live in Copenhagen and I love everything about it, but I would say that it would be a pity if a turist doesnt spend at least some of their time in Denmark, visiting other places. There are so many interesting and beautiful places to enjoy in our country. Our beaches, islands, historic sites, music venues and theatres, specialities in food and drink and public transport is excellent (even though we do like to complain about it, its muuuuuch better than in most other countries😉), or one can rent bikes (with built in gps) or cars if you prefer driving. I may be a "city girl" but I do appreciate and feel lucky that I live in Denmark❤️🇩🇰

Your pronunciation of those Danish words is very good. Well done. The hardest part about our language is pronunciation as we have 9 vowels in Danish: a,e,i,o,u,y,æ,ø,å but according to language experts we have somewhere between 25 and 50 different vowel sounds. English has some of the same. In English there are five vowels: a,e,i,o,u and sometimes y as well. But the language has at least 22 different vowel sounds. Danish also has a lot compound words that cannot be separated because if you do separate them as we do a lot in English, it changes the meaning completely. Compound words in Danish are always written as one word. However, it becomes a bit more tricky when it concerns English words that have wormed their way into the Danish language. Here are a few examples of why compound words in Danish should not be written as two words: lammekoteletter / lamme koteletter. The first one is lamb chops, but the second one actually means that the chops are lame as in not being able to walk or move on their own. mormorboller /mormor boller. The first word refers to old style buns that our grandma’s generation used to make. Divide the two words and you get a rude, slang expression referring to your grandma having intercourse. 😂 Pådkelukket /Påske lukket. The first word means that a place is closed during Easter, the second version refers to Easter itself being closed down. lillefinger/ lille finger. The first word is your pinky finger. The second version just means a tiny finger. Engelsklærer /engelsk lærer. The first one is a teacher who teaches English, the second version is someone who is English and a teacher. Dyrebog / dyre bog. The first one is a book about animals. The second version refers to a book being expensive.

Somewhat surprised that you didn’t meant how beautiful the nature is with the country consisting of different islands with all beaches. Being from Skåne I have no problem to admit that I prefer Denmark to the rest of Sweden. But Skåne once referred to as ”the jewel in the Danish crown” before it was lost to Sweden is according to me equally beautiful together with some more shifting landscape. If you still are in Denmark towards Summer 2021. Take the Ferry from Helsingör to Helsingborg and then bike on Kattegattleden along the coast to Båstad. I think even danes who has done that can admit that this part of earlier Denmark but now Sweden is very beautiful. For me the the best thing with Denmark compared with Sweden is the different mentality which according to me is more laid back and liberal. According to me we have some of that mindset in Skåne also compared with other parts of Sweden. Also both the politics and the economy in Denmark has been much more well managed in Denmark compared with Sweden for the last 30-35 years. For instance an average Danish family today has about 1500 EUR more to spend per month than an average Swedish family.

[@Rawsawn]

Dude they have the Grand Canyon, i dont think we can say our nature is interresting, its flat and fieldy.. thats it. 1500€ im supriced if thats true, maybe people think about what they can afford to live in and what they can do without. Ive heard tales about swedes that prefer to get a very nice car and live on oatmeal etc for a long while.

[@AshtonishingJelly]

Oh.. I don't know what to say! It's a hard language! My only advice is to get over here, and maybe live with a danish family or something, so you have the language "next to you" all the time, and then just try and try! ♥️ But if you do, stress to the family (or friends etc), that you want to learn danish, cause most Danes will switch to English really quick when they speak to foreigners ☺️ Maybe you should come live with me! I love learning new languages, and back in the day, before kids and all that, my now husband and I visited Poland on some vacations, and I learned a little bit Polish (very little, but it was really interesting! 😄). ..Okay I can't really offer you that! To stay with us 😉☺️ But it would be a great experience, though ☺️🤩👍

There's one common problem that tourists or foreigners do when they come to Denmark. They visit Copenhagen and think "so this is how danes eat, drink and live". No, that's how the "hippie danes" are eating, drinking and living, not the COMMON dane. If you want to know how danes live, visit any other place than Copenhagen. Sure, Copenhagen is great with Tivoli, pølsevogne and bakeries, but the real danish food is as you said "mormor mad".
