thanks! what about the silly phrases at the end? are they totally made up or did you already heard them?
and how would you say • It's really cool here. • I like CopenHagen • Do you have coffee?

Remember to put a potato in your throat before trying to pronounce the danish words 😉 🇳🇴

My experience so far is: 1) I haven't run into anyone who doesn't speak English 2) It's very hard to derive the pronunciation of Danish from the spelling.

• Det er ret koldt her • Jeg kan godt li København • Har i kaffe? (assuming its in a store)

I'm not worried about not meeting people not speking english (that's a lot of not) I just enjoy creating a different kind of connection by learning some basics of other's languages
