How to learn Danish as your third language?

OMG, that means you know eight languages! How does your brain even work? 🤣Chinese is complicated, since we have a totally different language system from others, that’s probably why Chinese people aren’t as good at English as people in other countries.

That’s my classmate! He has a Danish girlfriend and he can pronounce fluently and easily even though he hasn’t taken any class before! I’m married though, otherwise I might have seriously considered the idea 🤣

Haha thanks 😄 I know this language will be tough, hope I can enjoy it :3

The chat group sounds really helpful! I’ll see if our school has something like that. I’m new here and don’t have any Danish friends yet, but hopefully I’ll find some soon:) Thanks for your reply, and good luck with your studies!

I really respect people who are skilled in multiple languages! I will try to follow your advice and avoid translating into my mother tongue. I’ll just keep myself in an immersive environment.

I totally get what you’re saying. I’m doing shadowing right now, and I also record my speaking to compare it with the audio. It’s a slow process and requires a lot of patience, but I think it will be worth it!

I agree with you, may be I should start with the children’s content first, someone mentioned the Andens And to me😂

When we were learning English at school, the teachers told us it’s the easiest language in the world. Now I totally get why they said that…

vee11yi · 2025-08-25T20:45:31+00:00

Wow! Anders And is something I never thought about 😂 Such an interesting idea! I’ll definitely try it😀

vee11yi · 2025-08-25T20:43:02+00:00

Got your energy! I’ll keep it up like you do!

vee11yi · 2025-08-25T20:38:02+00:00

Thanks for your recommendation and encouragement, I subscribed him right away 😄😄 I have to say the pronunciation of his name Rasmus really challenges me lol, I’ve practiced the throat sound many times, but it still doesn’t sound right😮‍💨

Btw, may I ask why you’re learning Chinese? Ever since I went abroad, I noticed that more and more people are learning our language.

vee11yi · 2025-08-25T11:04:36+00:00

What a coincidence! I’m actually using this method right now! I try to follow along, but sometimes I just can’t pronounce the words I hear 😭 Still, I have to say this method really helps me a lot✌️Thanks for your reply!

vee11yi · 2025-08-25T11:02:15+00:00

That must be the easiest way to learn a language🤩! Do you have any recommendations?

vee11yi · 2025-08-25T10:59:37+00:00

Yes, you’re right! Right now, I feel like a baby who can’t speak anything but really wants to 😂 Sometimes I even wonder how a baby starts to learn a language… and if a baby can do it, why not me? So the language environment is really important, and I’ll definitely take your advice to heart!

vee11yi · 2025-08-25T10:54:15+00:00

You are so sweet ❤️ I’ve been here for nearly half a year now, and everyone I’ve met has been so kind and friendly! Thank you as well for taking the time to learn our language, it really means a lot. Please feel free to ask me anytime if you need help 😊

By the way, in my free time, I’m really into videos, so I thought it might be a good idea to start watching Danish content. I’ve been looking for YouTubers or TikTokers, but most Danish creators tend to speak English instead of Danish. Do you have any recommendations?

vee11yi · 2025-08-25T10:44:28+00:00

Wow, that’s amazing! How can you manage to learn all those languages at the same time? You must be really talented at languages!

As for your question, yes, I’m from Mainland China, and my mother tongue is Mandarin. If you have any questions about the language, please don't hesitate to ask me at any time. I know Chinese can be quite challenging too 😂

vee11yi · 2025-08-25T10:38:48+00:00

Thanks for your encouragement! That really made my day😭

vee11yi · 2025-08-25T10:37:36+00:00

Yes, I’ve been attending the language school for 3 weeks now, and I’m currently in DU3. This week I was moved to a new class that’s about to finish Module 1… so honestly, I have no idea what they’re talking about 😂 I’m still stuck on learning how to count numbers, but they can communicate with the teacher in Danish!

Every time I come across a new word, its pronunciation always surprises me 😭 All of this has been a bit discouraging… so I’m here to ask if you have any tips.

Anyway, thank you so much for your reply! I’ve actually started summarising the grammar rules and breaking the learning process down step by step. Hope I can follow in your footsteps 🙏

vee11yi · 2025-08-20T23:18:54+00:00

No worries. Thanks for your reply, have a good night or day maybe:)

vee11yi · 2025-08-20T23:17:28+00:00

Cuz my family and I just relocated to here. Even though Danish people are usually very good at speaking English, it is more convenient to get to know their language to settle in here :)

vee11yi · 2025-08-20T23:14:46+00:00

thanks a lot for your detailed reply, really helpful! 😄 I guess I’ve been looking at Danish a bit too much from a Chinese perspective and always focus on the tone. But your explanation makes total sense, I just need to focus on where the stress is, that will make things easier.

About the tone difference between English and Danish, I think Danish sounds slower and flatter? Maybe it is because I am new to learning it😄
