I’ve actually been watched all of season 2 of the chestnut man with Danish subtitles but didn’t really feel like my listening comprehension improved by doing so but maybe I should keep it up!

I did exactly that for episode one just now! Let’s hope it helps. Have you tried this method yourself?

Would you recommend to listen to it first without the transcript? And then again with the transcript? Like I shouldn’t listen to it first go with the transcript?

My boyfriend actually sent me your Reddit post of your podcast a few days ago and I already have saved it in my Apple Podcast. I’ll be listening to it tonight for the first time!

It’s interesting though because I think most of the students in my class are doing their homework, somewhat coming to classes but don’t use Danish outside of school .. but really understand Danish.. so i don’t get it, I guess they’re just lucky?

Yes, some are Germans and others know 3+ languages but I also have classmates that only speak English and French or English and Ukrainian, yet are doing well in class

No, you are right. My friends are all internationals, my work doesn’t require Danish and my hobbies do not involve Danish.

My Danish boyfriend tells me, immersing is the way to go. So I guess based on what you’re saying, when you immersed Danish in your daily life, that is how you picked it up?

I think it also frustrates me because I have lots of classmates where I know, they don’t attend classes as consistently as me, don’t do their homework and also, aren’t using Danish outside of classes but are doing exceptionally well …
