As I understand both means "with" in English

Du er ved mig Du er med mig Both mean you are with me in English.

And does below both sentences make sencec to you?

Ved min arbejdsplads har vi fælles kantine Med min arbejdsplads har vi fælles kantine

Or you use På min.... kantine?

Does CPH say that? like the queen and those from royal?

Hi! I’ve just moved to Denmark. My boyfriend (Dane) and I have been together for 3.5 years and now that we live in Aarhus (indefinitely) I’ve decided to learn danish.

I don’t have a CPR number (YET) since I’m still looking for a job, so I cannot start going to the actual danish classes yet. That’s why I’ve started with duolingo which only serves for hearing and vocabulary learning, but I’m missing so much grammar explanation, often finding myself asking a lot of questions to my boyfriend. My first language is Spanish, but I’m totally fine in English as well, and got a B1-B2 in German.

My question is, is there any books or other sources that I can use for learning on my own in the meantime?

Also, how long do you think it would take me to speak proper danish or at least be able to have a fluent conversation? I don’t have Danish friends in Aarhus to practice with :( , aside from my bf and my in laws. Tbh I’m so f-ed up with the pronunciation, but my bf says after two months of duolingo I’m somehow better. We’ve agreed to practice pronunciation together at least once a week.

Any tips on how to get closer to danes would be helpful too! I’ve got the feeling in Spain is easier to make friends than here.

Thank you for all the help! 🫶🏽

Hello everyone. I am planning to write my PD3 exam this winter (Or next summer). I need help as I feel like I am completely lost. Any idea if one find: •læseforståelse 1 and 2 samples? •with rettenøgle? •skriftlig samples? •mundtlig? (Yes I go to a language school and yes they did provide me some samples but I gotta give maximum effort). Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: ok not so reliable 😏

Hi! I’m taking the PD2 in November for residency. I’m trying to avoid having to go to Danish school as I’ve already completed it about 8 years ago! - I’m looking for study materials/ practice exams for the written portion. Anyone able to share?

So I posted about a tech issue on a different forum and someone who had the same problem but fixed it wrote me this message: "Reolstsælled ondslo. Rsert roitér"

I then asked them what it meant but they haven't messaged back in a week. After putting it through multiple translators all I know is that it is confirmed Danish but does not get translated.

If someone could tell me what this says I would be very grateful.

Reolstsælled ondslo. Rsert roitér

Hello! My grandmama was an immigrant from Denmark to the United States. She unfortunately passed away in 2018 and this week I found letters that in a forgotten box in a storage unit that was hers as well as some written her mom & dad (my great grandparents)- I tried to do some google translate and they seem really interesting but also it wasn’t pretty unhelpful. I have no idea who to reach out to for help translating ? Would anybody here be willing to ? I wish my grandmama was here to translate for me and that Danish language had been passed down to my mom and I but unfortunately it wasn’t.

I’ve included photos of the letters if anyone would be so kind as to help!

Dear Danish people! I am starting a company doing pressure washing of driveways and such. The name I chose is Under Tryk Rens, which I now being made aware of that it isn't the best choice. My question is, is it really bad, like if you see it in an ad or something, would you think it's a bad name, as in should I change it, it really doesn't work, or it's fine if I leave it. Thank you in advance for the answers!

Update 1: So after all your helpful comments I am changing the name of the company, so here are the names I'm considering this time around. These are chosen because the domain names are not taken, which is important. I friend of mine told me hojtryksrens would be a good name, but it's taken and I don't know what difference the "s" makes, not sure if any of these should be hojtrykrens or hojtryksrens.

Again I thank you for helping me with these, I really appreciate the comments!

I am married to a Dane who speaks Rigsdansk, however we lived in the UK for over 20 years before moving to Denmark. So we just spoke English.

Now, I am learning Danish using Duolingo, Sprogskole with A2B Vi Taler Dansk and Fokus.

Something I notice is Fokus, VTD and Duolingo all have slightly different dialects, plus my wife with Rigsdansk. Leaving me slightly confused as how to pronounce words, we live in Nordjylland so there is quite a distinct local dialect.

My question is not what is right. But what would work best in Denmark. I am retired, so speak to Danes infrequently, other than shopping, dentist, etc. It would be good to try and standardise with something.

Thoughts anyone?

Hello, just wondering what this word means in a young slang context, talking about a woman.

"Hun er vanvittig sprød"

Can someone please tell me the difference between ‘til’ and ‘hen til’ when meaning ‘to’?

I’ve searched all over and can’t find an answer to this question 😊

Hej alle sammen! 👋

We’re two IT professionals living in Denmark who’ve been struggling to take our Danish beyond the “I can order beer” stage. So, we decided to use our skills to create something different – an app that combines language learning with  Danish culture to help expats feel truly at home here

We’re still at the very early “basic concept” stage, and we’d love your input to make sure we’re building something truly useful.

If you have a few minutes, please fill out this short survey:

Your feedback will help us design the most effective, fun, and culturally immersive Danish learning experience possible.

Tak for hjælpen! 🙏

Hi all,

My partner says that both of these are valid, but used in different situations to emphasize different things. Can anyone explain this in more depth please?

Thanks in advance!

Hi! Does anyone has to sell Sådan 2 book? I dont need it new, but I want to be able to write in it ☺️ I am in Copenhagen every weekday and could pick it up

I bought this print in a second hand shop in CPH a few years back. I’ve been struggled to translate this or interept aside from the first word potentially being “Warmest” ?

Thanks in advance!

Can I get a Danish translation of a three quotes/sentences please?

1.) "I hear your voice in all of the world's noise. " (-Paul Éluard)

2.) "Come sail away with me." (I'm pretty sure I know this one and have translated correctly but I wanted to be completely sure)

3.) "Come, let’s walk. Come, let’s see. Through one thousand worlds, awaits weightless love." (-Crown Prince Frederik of Danmark)

Please and thank you. These are words that my husband and I wanted to get matching tattoos of, but he died suddenly before we could. I want the translation so I can still get the tattoos now

(If anyone is interested, I would be happy to tell our story, I think its a sweet/funny story... Short version: I live in Florida, he lived in Odense and Nyborg, DK; We met online years and years ago playing the game FARMVILLE, of all silly things LOL 😆 We played the game together for years before we added each other on Facebook and soon after we decided we couldn't spend another day apart. So I packed up my whole American life, got on the next available airplane, flew 7800 km from Miami to København, jumped in his arms, moved in with him, and never spent a single day apart until he died very suddenly at home of sepsis/kidney infection/Covid19.)

Thank you for your help very very much 🥰

Hej! Jeg hedder Lexi, og jeg kommer fra USA.

Im looking for a Danish penpal so I can work on my studies. Id like to become advanced to B2-C2 (currently A1-A2) in the next year or two as I’d like to look at moving to Denmark for studies! I think having someone to converse with regularly outside of studying it by myself would help me improve significantly.

If anyone is interested shoot me a message!

I studied abroad in Copenhagen this past spring, and while I was there, I took an introductory Danish language course and supplemented my learning with Duolingo. However, I would really like to improve my Danish, and I don't know how far I'd get with Duolingo alone. Since I already have a sort of formal foundational education to Danish, are there certain resources I should avoid or use? I know this question has been asked a lot before, but any advice or insight would be appreciated. Tusind tak!

Is hard to understand? Describe your experience

hey everyone, so i’ve been in denmark for two years and more than a half; i’m a teenager and im currently in a danish school moving in 8th grade (even tho i was supposed to be moving in 9th this year but due to the language i’m a year before) my danish is not really the best and the thing i find most difficult is pronunciation. i’ve been the first year in denmark in a school where they teach you the language and of course school stuff. i haven’t learnt a lot of danish in that school but i learned basic stuff. i suck at forming sentences in the correct order too, and i mean i can’t say a lot because i didn’t really focus on learning the language at that time, i was lazy and just spent my time playing videogames. i regret it but now i’ve gotta be serious with this. i start school in 5 days, and i wish if there is ways that i can practice it without spending money. in my new school there is not a lot of help for those who dont speak it, but i’m still able to understand a lot. and i’m also glad to have danish friends who help me (only two because the rest of my class is a shit)

i would like to hear your experiences with the language no matter your age. what resources do u use?

Hello all! I’m an american who has some relations to Denmark 🇩🇰. I took up knitting while living with my host family and picked up this beautiful crochet scarf kit on my last visit. I wanted to start it soon, as it will be a Christmas gift for my Danish boyfriends mother!

Upon starting, I realized that I’m having a difficult time translating the instructions and my host mom isn’t familiar with the English translations. We might have figured out a couple words:

Stangmaske - double crochet Luftmaske - chain stitch Kædmaske - slip stitch Fastmaske - single crochet

Just wondering if anyone who is familiar with the English/danish knitting/crochet terminology could double check these words and the google translation of the instructions!!

Tusind Tak!☺️

Hi everyone,

I’ve been learning Norwegian (Bokmål) for a while now, mostly through Anki flashcards, Duolingo, podcasts, and Netflix series like Hjem til jul. I’m still at a beginner to intermediate level, but I really enjoy the language and the learning process so far.

In general, I’ve been thinking about moving to Scandinavia someday. Norway originally seemed like a great option, but lately I’ve started to feel that it might be a bit too far north for me in terms of lifestyle and climate. I recently visited Copenhagen and really loved the atmosphere there — it felt like a place I could imagine living in.

That got me wondering: should I continue with Norwegian and just add some Danish listening on the side (like watching The Rain or listening to Danish podcasts)? Or would it make more sense to fully switch to Danish now?

My current idea is to keep learning Norwegian actively, since I’ve already made good progress, and at the same time get used to Danish passively by listening. If I do end up moving to Denmark, I could then focus more seriously on Danish.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation? I’d really appreciate your thoughts or experiences — especially if you’ve learned both languages or moved between the countries.

Thanks a lot!
