Andrew Maxwell & Ari Eldjárn on Scandinavians speaking English

[@harrietclevedufresnes865]

I love when he does the danish accent, so perfect.

[@imfaizzi]

Never heard Danish-english accent but it sounded to me more like Bavarian-english accent. Im no expert at all though. :)

[@harrietclevedufresnes865]

imfaizzi I haven't heard that accent before, but perhaps they sound similar? I'm a dane myself, and that accent is spot on for what the majority of danes sound like when speaking English.

[@harrietclevedufresnes865]

Chris Wings It yes I agree, his Scottish accent is also spot on.

[@andrewphillips9391]

The Icelandic phrase book I bought when I went had the phrase "can I get there by train?" in it

[@davidbjornstad7759]

Maybe the writer needed a question to which the answer would always be "Nei, fífl!" 🤣

[@westie430]

Lol he's amazing😂 He's incredibly talented at accents. Love this guy😂

[@imfaizzi]

The dig at American Bond was great, laughed out loud

[@classicalmgtv5757]

I love this guy! Able to be so funny without needing to go vulgar and swearing.

[@auroradeja-vu8763]

This man! 😂❤

VERY funny material and in Ari's third language.

And a brilliant sketch of James Bond and his martini

Good job Ari. Keep up the fantastic work.

I'm American. He rips us apart with kindness.

Holy f*ck, this guy's hilarious!

[@jbrains]

I don't think the train has started operating yet.

[@slubert]

Great

Danish grammar: easy (weird number system, like French) Danish pronunciation: Fem flade flødeboller på et fladt flødebollefad. Hva? Say that 10 times fast.

[@Molecule_Master]

Am I in the minority about his Danish accent? Most of my friends don’t sound Bavarian like that.

[@vanefreja86]

Hope my English sounds better and without too much of a Danish accent. Should be, since I lived in the UK for 2 years 😆🙈😅

[@montyskew]

But accents are fun (if not funny!), so I hope you don't lose it completely. :-)

[@vanefreja86]

@@montyskew oh..don't worry :) You can hear I'm not British, but was always praised for speaking it evt well :)

Irish people are jealous of Iceland because they've succeeded in preserving a thousand year old language.

[@aphextwin6]

Gealic is not being preserved?

[@TomBartram-b1c]

@@aphextwin6 Perhaps you've never been to Ireland. The vast majority of the population have zero knowledge/interest in Irish whatsoever. Same with Welsh in Wales I'm sad to admit.

[@TykusBalrog]

But that's because Irish was completely supressed by the English. The Danish didn't do the same with Icelandic.

[@jazzycat8917]

@@TomBartram-b1c England engaged in a deliberate and imperialistic destruction of Gaelic (and to a lesser extent Welsh), Denmark did not do that to Icelandic. Don't blame Ireland like it was somehow their own fault or laziness that their native language has been almost lost

[@TomBartram-b1c]

@@TykusBalrog Irish is taught in every school and lessons are available for adults too. I was Irish I'd learn it for my passion and commitment. But most Irish people aren't like me.
