#danish seems to be a nice "language"

"Det kimer nu til julefest" (The Happy Christmas Comes Once More) is a #Danish Christmas carol. The lyrics were written by the Danish poet #NFSGrundtvig in 1817, and the music was composed by #CarlChristianNicolajBalle in 1850.

#LanguageLearning #Swedish #Norwegian #Danish

Can anybody recommend good apps for learning Swedish, Danish or Norwegian? I've got some work travel coming up and am half-heartedly considering playing about with learning the basics for one of them.

Bonus points for free content as I'm not committing to this for the long term. I'd just like to get my ear in and have a vague idea of how letters relate to sounds.

Please don't suggest Duolingo.

The last fairy blessed the baby. "I grant you the fortitude of the characters written by the #Danish fairytale master Hans Christian Andersen."

"That's a curse," wailed the baby's mother. "The girl with the red shoes gets her feet cut off! The little match girl freezes to death!"

"But Gerda travels the Arctic & saves her playmate, the little mermaid spares her prince's life, & the nightingale shows the worth of living artists over mechanical ones," pointed out the fairy.

Having found her mischief easier to accomplish than she had thought, Minervie decided to take the extra few days away from Chip as a bit of a vacation. It was the beginning of summer here, where the snow was falling back home.

She decided to ask at the hotel she'd booked, and walked down the stairs to the front desk. The desk man had been trying to sneak a Danish pastry breakfast, and she had essentially snuck up on him. Minervie said, "Excuse me."

Une Vie Nouvelle: Chapter 1:

The torn papers fluttered in the cold Atlantic wind, drifting down until they landed on the gray water, and eventually disappeared in the wake of the #Danish liner Ruritania.

Lady D’Arcy stood at the railing in a morning dress the color of the waves, dove-gray with white lace foaming at the collar and cuffs. The last of the papers left her hands as another woman joined her.

D’Arcy surveyed the woman’s gown: spring colors—too bright for chiffon, yet not bright enough for sunshine. She dismissed it at once as tasteless. The red hair earned its own judgment. “Undoubtedly Hibernian,” she thought. “Crass.”

“Mademoiselle D'Arcy. Vous vous êtes levée tôt. Peut-être pour saluer le nouveau jour et la nouvelle année?”

The woman’s French was marred by a heavy American accent and contrasted sharply with D’Arcy’s reply. “Un jour nouveau, une année nouvelle, une vie nouvelle.”

“You speak impeccable French, Mademoiselle,” the American said, switching to Albion.

“I am fortunate to have grown up with it. But you, too, have arisen early. It’s my #understanding that that’s the American way. I hear your motto is, ‘The early bird catches the worm.’ L’oiseau matinal… attrape le ver,” she said, letting her tongue linger on ver.

With an earnest smile, "Who are ya?"
She didn't know if it was that smile, his posture, or the baritone of his voice soft as a brown bear that put her at ease. "Ulla Jeppesen."
He squinted, "#Danish, aintcha?"
She nodded.
"And reckon you wanna know the secret of Gunja, eh?"
Her heart beat quick, "Y-yes."
"You ain't gonna believe it but Imma show you" He squinted and looked up, "Come sunset, you'll see." 5/x

"Vil du bolla?" the exchange student said, in halting #Danish, to some boys on the playground.
"Ja vil bolle!" one replied, provoking raucous laughter from the rest.
The exchange student laughed half-heartedly, unsure what was so funny.
"We play ball, yes?" one of the others said. "Come!" #wss366

I am proud of being part #Danish. I am proud of the Kingdom of #Denmark and its people. I shall always support them in every way I can. The sovereignty of the Danish Kingdom is not negotiable, and violating it is both unlawful and morally despicable.

So the #USAnians sent a "special envoy" to Greenland.

This is a #diplomatic faux pas to start with - #Greenland is an autonomous division of the #Danish kingdom, and so all diplomatic actions should (at least to start) be done by approaching Denmark, through the USA ambassador to Denmark. Bypassing that is Not Done. Extremely rude. Like, "drop your trousers and shit on the floor in front of the queen" #rude.

So that's bad enough.

But the *reason* for the envoy is to try to convince Greenland to #separate from #Denmark, and join the #USA. i.e. it's just another extension of the "We'll take Greenland" #bullshit the #insane #orange mental-defect-in-diapers was pushing a while back. This is, from a diplomatic standpoint, unspeakably rude. Unimaginably so. Simply unfathomable, except for the fact that the USA *elected* that #fascist #asshole to behave this way.

So the normal diplomatic response would be for the Danish PM to summon the USA #ambassador, and ask him for an explanation, and the ambassador would be expected to provide an #apology to some degree.

But given Trump's penchant for appointing his kind of c*cksuckers as ambassadors, and zero respect for any kind of #behavioural standards, the appropriate response here would be for the Danish PM to summon the USA ambassador, and then #stab him in the #face.

I just got the nicest comment from a #danish #history teacher :3 "You seem to know a lot about Danish history. Er du Dansk?" Nei. Amerikansk. Men, jeg snakker Norsk! Poor woman is probably thinking "you're the weirdest fucking American" hey, I am just as surprised as anyone that #ICE hasn't busted down my door too, okay. I'm really hoping it happens because that's going to be the embarrassment of the century. Why are you deporting this weird kid from Wyoming?
