Do you have a good tip for learning Danish – and a place you would recommend?
"It’s a good idea to start with your interests and hobbies when learning a new language. For example, if you enjoy knitting, you can find out what the different types of knitting are called in Danish, and if you’re into sport, you could watch a match with Danish commentary. That way, there’s at least one thing you enjoy doing in the language – especially if you get tired of grammar exercises.

For me, one such interest has been ornithology. It’s fascinating to learn the Danish names of different bird species (often descriptive names such as ‘skallesluger’ or ‘korsnæb’) and to explore texts I wouldn’t otherwise have read.

If you’re interested in birds too, I can recommend an app called Fuglebingo. It was created by a group of Danish friends, and you earn points by reporting the bird species you’ve spotted. A bit like Pokémon GO – but better! One of the best places to observe many different birds close to Copenhagen is, of course, Dyrehaven. And if you’re not interested in birds at all, it’s still a wonderful area for a walk or a bike ride."
