I went to Australia once and we met an American family in "Ripley's Believe it or not". I don't recall exactly where they were from, but I knew about the city and which state it was in. We told then we were from Denmark, a town called Randers, and they asked: "Is that far from Amsterdam?" We were like: "Uhm, yeah - it's a different country" (thinking they'd mixed up Denmark and The Netherlands). The woman's next question almost blew my mind: "So, is Denmark one of the bigger cities?" My friend and I looked at each other and we tried to patiently explain that Denmark is a country, that Randers is one of the bigger cities in that country, and that Amsterdam is the capital of another country named The Netherlands. When the couple's next question was if we speak Dutch in Denmark, we gave up and pretended that we had to get moving, because we were meeting someone soon 😂

I work as a cashier in a discount supermarket on Amager. The thing about saying something out of the ordenary is a big surprice for folks like you. When I say " Jeg håber du har en pragtfuld dag" ("I hope you have a wonderfull day), ppl like you alway go " sorry I'm english speaking". But the problem is that your "Hej" ("Hey"), sounds to danish. Put a thick accent on in like HEEEYyy or as the germans do and use "Hallo"

[@RobeTrotting]

Oh, I can see that - like "hi" and "hej" really sound similar.

[@TheGammelfjols]

in Jutland you will probably hardly hear about having ( pragtfuld dag.) in my northern Jutland it will probably at most. ( goddag) if the day . ( det er ikke så ringe endda) well then it is certainly a splendid day. ( ja helt afgjort en pragtfuld dag) ( hvis du har set noget der var værre) well then its almoste a perfekt day. a treasurer in an association said "the accounts disappointed to the good side" at general meeing and the surplus never has bin better. ( rengskabet har skuffet til den gode side og så har der aldrig været større overskud)

YES haha, Derek said that too but thought it was too obscure to make the reference - you get it thought!!!

[@bikzimusmaximus5250]

The sun thing is definitely because we get more direct sunlight in the summer than areas that are further south. It's literally the angle the sun hits the earth at that makes it more concentrated.

The sun is strong in Denmark, because of several things: The time it is up. The amount of UV rays, from thin ozon layers. The reflections from water everywhere. Go fishing in April and you get torched.

[@FionaAstrologer]

[@horisontial]

99% of all yankee caps worn in Denmark are worn by people with no idea of it being affiliated to a sports team, even less a baseball team. They were all over the place in the 90's and 00's. Pretty sure most people thought it was just a brand.

[@RobeTrotting]

This makes a lot of sense haha

[@Gert-DK]

Sometimes I use sunglasses in spring and fall, when the sun is low in the sky.

[@RobeTrotting]

True, it can be tough when it's basically horizontal sunshine haha

[@skinke280]

The first picture is actually a Photoshop of a old painting and a American woman in one of those tv reality shows you have over there. 😀

[@RobeTrotting]

I see it now haha

[@JohnnieHougaardNielsen]

English also has huge differences between spelling and pronunciation, lots of words could be spoken very differently, and then you just have to know how. One reason for getting burned by the sun in Denmark is that (compares to the US), the amount of time with sunlight is much longer in the summer.

[@lassemadsen607]

Colonel = Kernel, how does that make sense

[@cartooncrazy1438]

My mom once got me a couple sweatshirts with the name of an American college on them. I really couldnt understand why she would find it normal for me to wear the brand of an institution I have nothing to do with at all. I still ended up wearing them though as it was getting cold out

[@RobeTrotting]

Ha, wow - that's interesting. Did she visit them at least?

[@cartooncrazy1438]

@@RobeTrotting nope 😅

[@benjaminmarker]

About the sunburn, I'm pretty sure it's because you haven't been exposed to the sun for like 8 months and suddenly when spring and summer arrives, you take off your clothes and get a burn. Also, isn't the danish soft D a bit like the English th? Modig (brave) is almost pronounced mo-th-ee.. Well, and then you can go to Jutland and they use the hard D instead of the soft D. LOL, I'll stop talking about soft and hard D's now.. :) Great channel though you guys. I'm happy you are enjoying living in Denmark.

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

The sounds are not the same. I only recently learned that, and I can still not hear the difference. But some Americans say the Danish soft D is more like than L. It does not sound like L at all to me. The Danish soft D is pronounced with the tip of your tongue behind your lower front teeth. The English th of "there" is pronounced with the tip of the toungue between the front teeth.

[@RobeTrotting]

Thanks for watching Benjamin - so glad you like the channel. The soft D and hard D always cracks us up. To both of us it's more of an "L" sounds for the "soft D" - we really only have one D sound in English (I think) haha.

[@mikkelandersen2328]

Woah... I just had a weird experience seeing the bit about Hans Ø or 'The Whiskey Wars' part. My pride (as a dane) tells me that, sure, that island was part of Greenland and thus, part of the Kingdom of Denmark - another part (also heavily influenced by my pride o.O) says that, yeah, we conned those nice Cannadians! Score for the small guys!! I think the takeaway is,.. yay?

[@Mark-xh8md]

Fun fact! When I was in New York many years ago I went to see a baseball game, because...well, you haven't really been to the US if you haven't seen a baseball- or "football"-game :P As I watched it, it reminded me SO MUCH of "rundbold", which I'm sure you'll have been made acquainted with by now :P And as my American friend explained the rules to me, and I found myself thinking "This is basically slightly more elaborate rundbold", I noticed a couple of rows in front of us there was a kid of....no more than 12, I think who sat with his dad, and he could NOT stop staring at me 😅 He was much too polite to say anything, but I could TELL by the look on his face that he was completely flabbergasted. I could almost hear him think "How are you an adult and don't know all of this already?!" 😅

[@KHValby]

Everyone is a effing comedian 🙄..., but u guys pull it off 👍🤣 !!! Happy V-day 😍 BTW! Of course I know what an "inning" is. It's when your bellybutton goes inward.., DUH 🙄

Thank you! You too! That belly button joke is hilarious though haha

[@DNA350ppm]

Hi there - it sure is funny that in Danish not all the letters that are written are pronounced, but by now we are very used to that it is the same case in English, so I'm surprised that Americans react to that. Exercise, temperature, naturally... come to mind.

[@ThomasAabyBerdal]

I love the New York Yankees cap because of NY Hardcore. Yeah. I'm that eighties. Wore it and will wear it again because of my musical preferences. Even if I don't care about baseball. Tried softball once, though. It was actually quite fun!

[@knudsandbknielsen1612]

Love you guys! I have a "hue" to keep my head warm, it's translated: Hat. But it's not a hat. It says "GRØNLAND" and something. A friend gave it to me. Never went to Greenland. No trees. It keeps my head and ears warm. I also have a cap with "MÆRSK" on it, cost me 35 DKK in a second hand store. It keeps the sun out of my eyes. I never had a job at Maersk. They just things keep my head warm and the sun out of my eyes. I don't see them. I look at pretty things instead. Like nature's many fractile wonders. Who would bother looking at his glasses? Look THROUGH them, is the answer ;-) Like your eyes ;-)

[@lohofa]

I'm from Aalborg and in the beginning of the 90s we had a class trip to Copenhagen and we lived in Amager. We couldn't pronounce it and we said all the letters out. So Danish dialects are difg8 for us as well. People from Copenhagen has problems pronouncing names up here as well.

[@troelspeterroland6998]

Teachers in Danish schools also draw cross sections of mouths in order to teach English 'th', German 'ch' and Spanish 'rr'. 🙂

[@RobeTrotting]

Probably where it comes from then haha

[@DNA350ppm]

A language teacher might skip this part of the class, if everybody gets the pronounciation right with just a few times of "listen and repeat"! But that almost never happens with adults. And in "Danish for Foreigners" the right pronunciation might never be reached at all, with any method. 😀

[@jonahthrane812]

Regarding the pronunciation, I'm both lucky and unlucky, o was born in England to Danish parents, and for a long time had an English accent as a kid. But when we moved to Denmark, I finally learned properly and mostly down to my grandma sitting with me and reading with me, writing with me, without my grandma I wouldn't be very good at Danish. But yes, we are terrible at actually pronouncing things, it's so different from how it's spelt, and I learned that the hard way too, since I could speak it, but I couldn't read or write, I learned the hard way, that Danish spelling/pronunciation is dumb.

[@RobeTrotting]

It's really tough for us to try to practice together and when we were in classes and doing homework we would argue about how to pronounce things - we couldn't correct one another being both American so it was kind of a waste of time.

[@jonahthrane812]

@@RobeTrotting oh absolutely, you don't have someone to lean on in your everyday. I was crap at Danish as a kid, but I had two Danish parents and 4 Danish grandparents to help. So I had plenty of help learning. If you want a business idea, consider a platform that connects foreigners and Danes, so us lonely isolated Danes have someone nice to chat to, and foreigners can ask language questions.

We Danes , hate that kind of drivning to. its just stupid. I especially hate it on the motorway when I drive 130 in an overtaking and then someone comes from behind. and flashes even if I drive my yes 100-130 meters to the next car in front, in an overtaking. I drive within the limits of the law, and the person behind is indifferent and even rude. Danes hate this just as much as everyone else

[@kille7543]

Also talk about the benefits of it being illegal to overtake on the righ. A american said to me that if they had that law in the US it would back up all traffic on the highways

[@stiglarsson8405]

Yeah, danish is difficult.. its just this that I live on the west coast of sweden and my father comes frome Skåne, (Scania), so im used to Danish! I know that they dont pronuned every letter, but the words in spelling is very similar.. so I have to listen to the flow of words and setences to understand! It still this that one can understand one other without changing to english! However guys, I have a challange for you, take the train to Malmö and trye out your danish/english/swenglish on the swedish side! But do this in summer season.. becuse we all want to promote this thing thats cald.. bigger Copenhagen, wich include "Skåne"! Another tip is.. visit Bornholm, the last place there they speak east danish, some danes say they speak like swedes, singsong and pronuns the letters.. I can confirm, much more easyer danish to understand!

ofcourse we know what baseball is, we call it "rundbold" :D

[@exFirejumper]

So the baseball thing, as a danish transplant to SOcal, was something I felt I had to learn, when I moved to the US. And after seeing Kurt Gibsons homerun in the 1988 game one of the World series at Dodger stadium, just proved that point. I did not know what happening at the time, I just went with my girlfriend at the time, because her family had season tickets to Chavez Ravine ( Dodger Stadium). From that day on, I took it upon myself to learn about the game and became a huge Padres fan and still am to this day. Seen hundreds of games since that day in October 1988 and listen to the Pads games on the radio everytime they play. Just one note, hate the Yankees and ofcourse them Red sox - tak for de sjove historier om Danmark - keep up the good work, boys......

[@thedanishcatgirl3205]

To be fair the soft consonants are hard for kids too. Although mostly when it comes to spelling. In my 0 grade class I remember we had a poster with the silent d’s and g’s. Of course they aren’t completely sound sand and sagn have a silent d and g but are not pronounced the same. Especially the silent or hidden g will really change how you pronounce the word kinda like if it was spelled savn wich is a completely different word. We have a suprising amount of four letter words with s a and n now that I think about it

Isn’t rundbold kinda similar to baseball? The game is with 2 teams one forms a queue waiting to swing the bat and then run around the field. The other team has to retrieve the ball and throw it to a teammate who is waiting down by the other team. We said teammate gets the ball they yell stop. If the runner is not at one of the three based they are out. The teams will regularly switch positions. Of course I know there are still many differences like rundbold is played square, the ball is just a Tennisball, there’s no protective gear and it’s not an official sport but a game that can easily be set up for a birthday party or PE at school. But I have always felt like it might be inspired Edit apparently according to the Danish lexicon baseball is based on the old English games rundbold and cricket so it’s the opposite of what I thought

[@julianneheindorf5757]

As a native speaker of Danish, American English and Swedish, I think it’s rude when people don’t respect other peoples efforts in speaking a language that is not their own. If someone talks to me in either Danish, English or Swedish, I respond in the same language even though I can clearly hear that it’s not their first language. So if f.ex. you spoke to me using Danish, I would respond in Danish, but I may politely ask if you want to switch to English, if I hear you struggling to get the words out. Grammar is not the most essential thing when you want to get a point across. You can mess up the grammar a lot and still be understood. However, pronunciation is really important in any language. You mess up the pronunciation too much and nobody will be able to understand you. Danish pronunciation is really hard for many foreigners. Just like English, Danish has many different vowel sounds. English has around 20 vowel sounds, Danish has 22, but some linguists believe we have way more vowel sounds than 22. They put the number as high as 40. The killer vowels are æøå. Particularly, ø is difficult because there is a plethora of ways of saying it depending on what consonants are attached to it. Øjne (eyes) and ører (ears) are both written with an ø, but the pronunciation is quite different.

ÆØÅ is pronounced like this: Æ (eh) Like you've just been asked what you want for dinner and you don't care. Eh... Ø (urh) Like you've been asked a question and you don't know the answer. Uh... Å (ohh) Like you've just made a big mistake. Ohh...

You probably get so sunburned because you got used to the no sun and forget to take care of your skin when it’s suddenly sunny and you want to take advantage of the little sun. Personally even though being born and having lived all my life in Denmark (and being about 2/3 Scandinavian and ~99% European) if I get a tan in the spring and summer (i don’t get tan any other way than from the sun) I will be very likely to keep at least 50% of that tan into winter.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i kind of look like that that when I try to teach children danish, because you have to show them VERY CLEARLY how to use the mouth or where to put the tongue 😂😂😂 I have a question to you guys. Don’t Americans know that we are not Denmark people and we don’t speak Denmark ???? I’ve heard that so the times and I just wonder if ( United States of America people 😂😂) don’t know that ? They know that the French people are French and speak French and Italian people are Italian and speak Italian. But when it comes to almost the rest of Europe I’ve heard the weirdest things 😂😂

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

In Danish, we pronounce words as they are spelled. In English they skip a lot of letters. That the word "niece", for example. It is spelled the same. It means the same. But in Danish, we pronounce it as it is spelled. In English it is pronounced "nis". The e's are just ignored.

[@RobeTrotting]

Haha, you kind of contradict yourself in this comment.

[@lbernau]

The best example of "not said letters" in english, is the english word for "Kø" = Queue. They could just spell it Q and it would be the same result. 🙂

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

@@RobeTrotting I don't see a contradiction.

Nå is a Very handy word

[@RamNaima]

I always thought the Ø sound was fairly similar to the way you'd pronounce "earth", for instance. Like, if you can pronounce "earth", then you should be able to pronounce "rød", right? :P

[@fastertove]

You would be understood, but ø sounds different. When saying the ø-sound in "earth" I almost feel out of breath. Hard to explain, but the Danish ø is a more natural and simple sound. It is a shorter and more distinct sound. Can't explain it, but the placement of the tongue is also a little different. It is not a bad way to explain the sound to foreigners, I think :) Fun fact: "ø" is also a word in Danish. It means "island"

which is why I NEVER wear a baseball cap.. I wear a trucker cap! Mesh for the win!

[@lbernau]

Yes! I love my Kenworth trucker cap. Besides the comfiness. Noone else i dk has one like (haven't seen one yet), so I can feel oh so special *S*

Lol, only foreigners know the struggle of ø,æ,å. And: hvem, hvad, hvor, hvornår, osv. Danish itself is not that hard. But the grammer is!

Baseball is not a game that is played in Denmark or in the rest of the Nordic countries for that matter. On the other hand, Americans are totally clueless when we talk about team handball, which is the second most important sport in Denmark after football…our football ⚽️ that is.

[@TheGammelfjols]

read the poem I posted in the debate, Danish is an unimaginably difficult language and the more you learn yes, the more difficult Danish becomes as our irregular inflections are almost impossible to learn. my wife is Thai and Thai has no inflections at all. a dog becomes, many a dog, in Thai and all dogs, but a dog is and will be a dog, and that requires that you have learned the language that we have from childhood. and we simply have to be patient with all the wonderful foreigners who have chosen to live with us, and have chosen to learn our strange language, the poem Danish is a difficult one, in Danish it tells exactly how difficult Danish is. regardless of whether you are Norwegian or Swedish, we Danes always want to hear that you were not born in Denmark, and that Danish is a language you have learned. After growing up, I have friends from Germany, Holland, Thailand, Italy, Romania, Americans, English people. Russians, Turks, Iranians, etc., who all live in Denmark. and the "spice" of the country you come from in the language will always be there. no matter what, and we Danes have to learn that it's ok, Danish is exactly as difficult as it looks. and to forgive that it is easy is wrong , I speak with some experience as married for 21 years to my wonderful wife from Thailand,

Do people really ask you to say rødgrød med fløde? I thought that question died with the 80's
