I am Icelandic. Back in the day when I was young ( a long, long time ago) Danish was taught as a second language in Iceland (English came later as a third language). I am used to pronoucing "-er" endings quite simply as "a". The ending always sounds like that to me as well when I stumple upon something spoken in Danish.

Dansk seems easier on the grammar part/writing but once again a lot of sounds don't exist in the french vocab so it's quiete a challenge , a different one but still hard .

@@froggobaggins3328 There's a lot of debate as to rather English actually has 20 vowels. A lot of people say its between 12-14. Depending on the dialect. Do not switch between any Dialect of British English or any dialect of American English. Because the variants in sound and pronunciations are too great. A lot of French people say that English is hard to learn. But many learn English or some of it. How few English speakers who try to learn French, ever learn enough to complete a sentence. What sounds are found in Danish which aren't found in English?
@markglynn47137 жыл бұрын
Whilst helpful for beginners learning Danish, some of what Nicolai says is a bit misleading. The pronunciation of the endings -e in "løbe" etc is the so called "schwa", or "ə" as in the end of the English word "Father". The ending -er in biler, bøger etc is pronounced approximately like the sound in the English word "odd". In other words, Nicolai's own pronunciation does not agree with his explanation. Also, the ending -et, although often pronounced as a soft d, is just as often pronounced with a hard d, particularly in Jutland. Learners should know that both variants are correct.

Interesting. From an English speaker's perspective, that soft final -D ending sounds very much like a final -L or -LE ending in English words such as puddle, mill, dill, but when you say the -EDE ending, the D sounds almost like English "TH" in the word "the". To me, those two sounds are not the same. Clearly Danes perceive these sounds differently from non-Danes.

With the exception of German and to a lesser extent Norwegian. They aren't inflected, or grammatically complex like French or Spanish is. I am proficient in Spanish(speaking, comprehending, reading). But I can barely make a statement or ask a question in French. I find its pronunciations to be so strange and difficult. Then theres the complex grammar. But apparently its different for you.

At least according to the pronunciation on google. On your lesson, when you said "mad" (food), to my ears, that sounded like "meld." As if there is an L after the "e." Did I mishear that?

Thank you for this lesson. Two questions though: 1. The a in "Mad" (Food) sounds to my ear like two sounds combined (/æ/ and /ə/), and 2. the "soft d" sounds like only placing the tip of the tongue behind the upper teeth, touching the hard palet, is that correct? Another observation: P, T, and K between consonants, as you mentioned, seem to follow the same rules in English, where the p, t, and k in words like "speak," "student," and "skin" are more like b, d, and g, except being still voiceless. Am I correct?
@NicolaiHolmgaard8 жыл бұрын
Your first question touches upon one of the difficult things about Danish pronunciation. You are not correct though, but the a in mad (food) is different then the a in Abe (monkey), the reason is that all Danish vowels can be pronounced in three different ways. The pronunciation relates to the combining letters, and it is not easily explained. Regarding your second question; yes it is similar but p,t,k are not silent, they are very much pronounced.

Er det ikke sådan, at det stumme -d gør det samme som en dobbelt konsonant på dansk og engelsk ( -nn = -nd -n) - den gør vokalen kort som i "lann = land" "lan" som har en lang vokal? Årsagen skulle også vise sig når ordret bøjes: lan-ne = lan-de la-ne.
