    We’d be fortunate to have you, I’m sure. Please feel free to DM me if you need help. Pronunciation - which is probably the hardest part - is going to be tricky to assist with, but I can certainly help with grammar and spelling. Don’t worry too much about pronunciation though - most Danes speak English perfectly well, and nobody is likely to hold relying on that against you until you can get up to speed.

      Thanks! I appreciate that and I’ll keep that in mind. I’m using Babbel, which has native speaker recordings, so I definitely understand the challenge of pronunciation but I think I’m slowly getting it.

      It only goes up to A2 though, so if I ever make it to Denmark I’ll have to use Prøve i Dansk and maybe attend a language school.

      I’ll DM you if I have a question I can’t find an answer to!

        It’s a pity that DR has restricted access to their content for international visitors. I’ve had a few British colleagues tying to learn Danish, and watching the news was a good way to get exposure to received pronunciation and a wide vocabulary.

        Nevertheless, while I’m not always on Lemmy, whenever I’m around I’ll be happy to answer what questions I can.

          Yeah, I had to watch the nytårstale on youtube because it was region locked on DR.

          I also wish I could stream Danish media, but the Scandinavian streaming services are also region locked
