One tip I found very useful to see how the logic of Danish numbers is not so foreign, was to think about the numbers "13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19" in English. They are actually "backwards" also. You say "thirteen" (3 and 10), "fourteen" (4 and 10), "fifteen" (5 and 10), etc. And when it comes to multiplying, I believe the same is true for twenty (2 times 10), thirty (3 times 10), etc. The thing is that we usually don't think too much about the logic of the names we give to numbers, but just learn them by heart (at least in our first language). Maybe we should try and do the same with the other languages we learn? :D
