History of Danish
Danish evolved from Old Norse and was the language of the Kalmar Union, influencing Norwegian and Swedish. Denmark's colonial empire brought Danish to Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The concept of 'hygge' has made Danish culture globally popular, increasing interest in the language.
Is Danish Hard to Learn?
Danish grammar is relatively simple, but pronunciation is notoriously challenging. The stød (glottal stop), vowel reduction, and 'soft d' sounds require significant practice. Written Danish is easier than spoken.
