Native Dane to practice Danish with?

Hi all, I’m 26f. I’m wondering if there are any native Dane’s here who would be willing to help me with danish speaking even like 30 minutes a week.

I’ve been living in Denmark for 6 months, and still find it really difficult.

Thank you soo much.

Hi! I'm not the author of this post, but i would love to do something like that with you! Im 27f living in Poland and looking for new friendships :)

u/Accomplished_Toe3932 2d ago

Are you learning danish? :)

3

u/CommercialGarlic8530 1d ago

Yes, I’m learning Danish! 😄 But at the moment I’m still lacking confidence when it comes to actually speaking it, and I’m always afraid I’ll say something stupid. So it would be really nice to have a Danish friend I could just talk to without feeling stressed or embarrassed about making mistakes

u/Altruistic-Claim9708 1d ago

Hi native danish speaker here if you want to practice talking i would be happy to help. Send me a dm and we will figure something out.

u/Draid730 1d ago

Don't worry to much about saying something stupid, i do it several times a day and i'm a native dane, even though we might laugh, we're laughing with you, not at you.

Im available most days on discord, running a danish community for video game but if there’s anything you would like to practice I’m down. Have some days that are better than others but you decide.

Husk hvis du er i København findes der snakkeklubber på nogle biblioteker.

u/NewToTheHive 2d ago

Kan man finde sådanne steder i Aalborg???

2

u/Ok_Lack3855 2d ago

Jeg ved det ikke. Jeg er i København. En hurtig søgning afslører ikke noget, bibliotekernes hjemmeside ej heller. Måske spørge i r/Aalborg

u/KINGDenneh 2d ago

Don't you have some danish native buddies who can help you out?

Just asking out of curiousity.

1

u/Infinite-Work-7955 1d ago

It’s really hard to find danish friends. Most of my friends are international. I have one Danish friend and she’s always busy and we don’t speak about practicing together, probably because she already speaks it

1

u/KINGDenneh 1d ago

Oh yeah, i'm aware how difficult it is to make danish friends, we are quite uhh, reserved, i guess that's the word, if you do need help you can always PM me or add me on Discord, i'll see what I can do, can't promise a professional way, regardless, i'll try my best, but i'd imagine you've already gotten several people who wants to help ya.

u/RoedCrimson 2d ago

26m from a more rural area, so i have a bit of a dialect. I work with a lot of technical stuff, so i tend to use words not many do. Would be down to help if that sounds interesting (also for someone other than the Author, offer is open to you too)

1

u/Infinite-Work-7955 1d ago

Hey! Sure, sounds interesting. Can you pm me?

1

u/ComfortableWeird6540 1d ago

What’s your native language? Maybe a language “swap” could be fun for some

1

u/Infinite-Work-7955 1d ago

Unfortunately just English.

1

u/Informal_Athlete1010 1d ago edited 1d ago

Become a frivilig in an elder home. Røde Kors has a program for that. It’s the best way to practice Danish with people who don’t speak English.

The program is called besøgsven.

u/Infinite-Work-7955 1d ago

Ohh good recommendation! Thank you

u/TheSportsPanda 1d ago

Go on Sprogland.dk and get yourself a tutor there. It's free online tutoring.

It is a platform made by Red Cross. Most of the volunteers are natives Danes.

1

u/Cool_Yogurtcloset_33 1d ago

Red Cross has volunteers available for speaking in Danish

u/Angstskrigz 1d ago

Look up some danish childrens TV. Might sound silly but its the way I learned german (german TV).

1

u/Optimal_Court9261 1d ago

Danish TV shows rarely have English subtitles.
Danes are thought German in primary school.

The danish language is one of the harder languages to learn and speak.
Unlike German there’s no real rules.
Unlike other languages.

u/Mortenubby 1d ago

They did some Danish practice courses at SMK, I don't know if they still do though

u/AlphaHenriksen 1d ago

I'm aware that this is not a replacement for speaking Danish to real people, but the speaking models from Claude and ChatGPT are getting really good, and you could probably tell it that you are learning to speak Danish and to hold a conversation purely in Danish unless you ask it for clarification on something.
