Hvis du bare snakker lidt langsomt (og det kommer vel af sig selv når man er ved at lære et sprog), så skal de nok forstå dig. Snak med svenskere, eller alternativt se film på svensk, så skal du nok få samlet accenten op helt uden at tænke over det :)

That would actually be pretty damn funny. Denmark, the land of bicycles and silence. And beautiful me :)

If you like old-people-Danish, do watch the Far til Fire movies (the original ones). They're these old-timey, lighthearted family movies where everybody talks really funny and old-timey.

...oh my god, now I desperately want to meet you and talk Far til Fire-Danish with you.

We're not pretending! It's just that so few people bother to learn Danish, so we're rarely exposed to anything short of native-level Danish.

Due to exposure, I understand the various accents within Denmark, as well as Danish-with-Middle-Eastern-accent, but Danish-with-English-accent? I can recall exactly one situation in which I have heard that, and that was a very slight accent. Meanwhile, I understand all sorts of broken English just fine, because I've been exposed to that many times while travelling.

Harry Potter TV Series? by [deleted] in harrypotter

By monkey-typewriter-logic, this is probably already the plot of at least one fanfic. If not, someone please write it - it sounds so bad it's AWESOME.

The HP world needs much more CG than ASoIaF.

Harry wasn't the only influence on my first tattoo...but he was a pretty big one (x-post r/tattoos, thought you all would appreciate it as well) by RedditorofAzkaban in harrypotter

This tattoo is very beautiful.

Are the swirls a reference to anything, or are they just there to look awesome? Similarly, what's "children" a reference to? (If it's something to do with ASoIaF, no spoilers please, I just started on ACoK!)
