42. Speaking Danish

This week I’m so happy to bring you this truly awesome conversation I had with Kris Broholm of Actual Fluency about the Danish language. Kris was delightful to talk with and I learned a lot about the Danish culture and language.

In this episode, Kris tells us some of the nitty gritty things about the language including Danish pronunciation, some fun facts about counting in Danish and we learn a thing or two about the grammar. We also talk about the similarities and differences between Danish and other Scandinavian languages. We discuss why English becomes the lingua franca of Scandinavian language speakers and other topics include the ups and downs of moving to a new country, learning to speak Russian and Hungarian and something I never even knew about Toki Pona. Kris talks to me also about what being able to help people along their language journey has meant to him and keep listening to find out how he views his own role within the language learning community.

Big thanks to Kris for coming onto my show and for providing such thoughtful and thought provoking conversation. As always if you enjoy this episode, don’t forget to like and subscribe on Instagram & rate and review the Speaking Tongues Podcast on Apple Podcasts so that other language lovers like ourselves can find the show!
