[@thepuzzlemaker3012]

It's actually very good that you didn't translate the words and focused on phonetics. Meaning plus visuals plus sound would have been too much. Here we only learn to associate a certain sound with a certain group of letters and that's a very good approach 🌟🤗

[@Danishmastery]

Thanks! I think so too.

[@FrozenMermaid666]

I am intermediate level in Norwegian Bokmål / German / Swedish and advanced level in Dutch and upper beginner level in Old Norse / Icelandic, and I understand most of the Danish words because most of the words are similar to the words in the other languages I know, and I am beginner level in Danish and Faroese and Gothic, but I can understand a lot of the words and sentences, including lines in lyrics - it’s interesting that there is this word dreng in Danish that comes from the Old Norse word drengr!

[@navneetkaur3422]

This video is great, most of the people have a big problem with the pronunciation and for me this is a great help thank you

[@DakotaAbroad]

I don't know really anything about Danish, but I'm taking a class on pronunciation so I'm looking around at videos of people teaching pronunciation. I really liked this video. You have a lot of examples, you're very clear on everything. I really liked this video. Thanks for putting it out there! Now I feel like I could MAYBE read some Danish words. Haha

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Danish pronunciation is like a mix of English + German pronunciation rules, very modern sounding and pretty, and I am intermediate level in Norwegian Bokmål / German / Swedish and advanced level in Dutch and upper beginner level in Old Norse / Icelandic, and I understand most of the Danish words because most of the words are similar to the words in the other languages I know, and I t’s interesting that there is this word dreng in Danish that comes from the Old Norse word drengr - I am beginner level in Danish and Faroese and Gothic, but I can understand a lot of the words and sentences, including lines in lyrics!

[@draganaivulic4693]

Found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I'm loving it! It's so rare to find a certain language phonetics being explained, and as a linguist myself, I have to say - this is brilliant!! Thank you so much! Greetings from Croatia :)

[@Danishmastery]

Great to hear ❤️

[@dunjavoos1971]

yes, brilliant! only listening helps and this is comes right into the ear:-)

[@KiatHuang]

Fantastisk. Tak! Jeg studerer dansk om 30 dage og det er "a big help" 😉

[@arnarkari5718]

Its so great how clearly you speak. And the fact that you will repeat a word with varying cadence and tone is a detail of brilliance.

[@helena.duarte]

Thank you so much for your video. Just starting to learn Danish. Love from Portugal

[@sometimeskitchen]

Thomas is the best Danish teacher!

[@clemensborst7861]

Thanks for the video. I needed this when I started learning Danish but it is still helpful

[@xfreyax2275]

Mange tak Thomas, you made DK sounds make more sense..!

[@glorifyenjoy]

So glad I found this! Danish phonetics are genius

[@pinnan108]

Tusind tak for videoen.

[@AndytheChav]

This is AMAZING! Thank you very much for clarifying some of this for me. :-)

[@Danishmastery]

You are most welcome :)

[@kiriknusperkat5342]

Hej Thomas. I just discovered your channel and I'm so happy that I found it. Your videos are awesome and really help me a lot. Especially this one about pronounciation made so many things clearer in my head 😃 When will you release a second part about this topic? It is still missing the letters y å ae ø. Can't wait to learn about them! 🇩🇰

[@Danishmastery]

Happy to help! Part 2 has already been recorded and will come out in a few weeks!

[@cmmndrblu]

This is SOOOO helpful...

[@LilySalif37]

Thomas thank you for a nice video, have a bless day

Just what I needed 💖💖💖

[@d2d319]

Really cool video! Just starting danish and this will help hugely 😁

[@mohammed-aminyounsi6003]

6:52 ...og1 7:06 ...og2 These two really confused me, so i had to put these 2 time stamps..and you can notice the difference after several tries & close listen. Og2 you need to close your lips further when you finish the word, unlike og1 where your lips aren't that stressed on the end.

[@marthonwalls3978]

Wow awesome lesson..the Best lesson ever.thnk you. deserve an OSCAR

[@bereketsium8394]

[@uthaiseejan4041]

Thank you very

[@GD-jc3wx]

When I stop being poor, I will support your channel. Ty

[@tabor721]

Nice video. I wonder when Spoken Danish got alienated from Written Danish. I was doing a research on the similarities between English and Danish. I noticed that both languages' spoken forms are very different from its written form. With English, the loaning of Latin words into English during Early Modern English period completely changed English.

[@Storytime2023x]

A Germanic language with a Latin vocabulary (mostly). To sound intelligent, people use those Latin words that your heart has no feeling or emotion toward.

[@katherinemaas6712]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

[@peepo2560]

Thank you! The robot pronunciation on Duolingo sucks so this is extremely helpful.

[@tadeuh.santos1313]

Thank you for this video, Thomas. You are the best! I am learning danish and your videos are helping me a lot. Could you give me a hint on how to pronounce correctly the word "sød"? It seems impossible! When I say it to my google translator, the app does not 'understands' what I am saying....

[@Danishmastery]

Thanks a lot! The pronunciation of "Sød" rhymes with: død, blød, nød, mød. And yes, the D is soft :)

[@alexysq2660]

@@Danishmastery ~Ohhh, i *hates* that "soft D" ({; D ...!

[@Miramani]

Very useful!!!

[@chuchiedoubek772]

Tak!

[@thebluemorpho6640]

So it seems the rule with "a" is that if it is a+consonant+e, the a makes a long vowel sound, and the e makes it's short sound. Is that right?

[@joysfulljourney]

Great video!!! I'm wondering, though, is the docs still available? I wasn't able to open it :(

[@Danishmastery]

Thanks, Joy! It is unfortunate, but the docs link isn’t working anymore, as it was connected to Liam’s account, and he and I aren’t working together anymore.

Undskyld Tomas, jeg har to spørgsmål, 1, Jeg skulle ringe til ham nu. 2, jeg skulle besøge ham i morgen. Disse sætninger er rettigheder eller hvad? Please answer me, because we have some discussion or debate with my friends. Hilsner Ahforom Haile

[@Danishmastery]

Hej! You can say those sentences, but be aware that it sounds like something you were supposed to do, but didn't. (Because of "skulle", which is in the past tense). It's better to use "skal" to make it sound more relevant to the present.

[@memhrgalele7631]

Thanks for helping me because always I following you and I learned many words and pronunciation, so God bless you 💚💚💚 But I think sometimes different with Google translate that means,for example, English, I should call him now, Danish , jeg skulle ringe til ham nu. English, I should visit him tomorrow. Danish, jeg skulle besøge ham i morgen.

[@Danishmastery]

Don't trust google translate :) Try hellotalk (an app) instead.

Learn Danish with Thomas I think it's the same.

Mange tak!

[@adrien437]

7:58 isnt the T in fjoget supposed to be a soft D as it is at the end of a word ?

[@Danishmastery]

You can say it both ways. In real life, you’ll usually hear it pronounced as a soft D.

Hello my teacher, am so new to this language i want to speak it how can you help

[@Danishmastery]

Keep watching videos, and if you really want to speed up the process, you can get the full video collection on the Danish Mastery website.

[@SofiaCalotti]

Could someone put this in IPA? 😅 (But seriously, thank you, this is already very helpful)

[@hugh_dancy]

i wish there was IPA too, please @Danish Mastery can you add them

[@Danishmastery]

I'll think about it.

[@etierik]

Just wondering - ordnet.dk gives [ˈsæː] for "sagde", one syllable. In your video I hear two [ˈsæːə]. Are both possible?

[@CrisTVofficiall]

ang hirap kol😂

[@Mrktn4]

Why is danish pronunciation so random 💀

[@zoltantorok1189]

7:30 You never pronounce "morgen"

is there really a difference between og1 and og2? like in pronaunciation? I cant tell the difference - to me it sounds the same as single "o"

They’re not the same.
