    Hi Bruce,

    Short answer - Native speaking Danes will not be able to understand very much of written Icelandic. There is a lot of the words that are similar, and if the text is simple, it would be possible to get the context. 

    With Norwegian and Swedish it is much easier. Danish is much closer to these two languages. There will be regional differences in the understanding. Around Copenhagen, people are used to Swedish due to the proximity. Northern Jutland see a lot of both Norwegians and Swedes. And in the Southern parts of Denmark German is much better understood. 

    But as a whole Danes understand and are able to read Swedish and Norwegian, but will have difficulty reading Icelandic. 

    Kind regards

    Thank you for a great article. I'm fairly new to learning Chinese, but I'm getting to the point where I need to step away from the comfort of the pinyin and begin to write and recognize the hanzi. I get some good knowledge and inspiration from this article.

    Den dejlige morgens luft

    Jeg kan lide at åbne mit vindue på om morgen, for da jeg laver det en frisk luft trænger ind mit værelse.

    - for at lade den friske luft trænge ind på mit værelse.

    - for at lukke den friske luft ind på mit værelse. 

    - så jeg kan lukke den friske luft in på mit værelse. 

    All three above can be used, and non of them are more right then the other. 

    'Lave(-r)' is you actively make/doing something. 'Lade(-r) is letting something happen by it self. 

    You could use 'laver', but that would require at different sentence. 'for da laver jeg gennemtræk, og lader frisk luft trænge ind på mit værelse. But now I'm just complicating things.

    Lesson 2 - focus on pronouncing tones correctly Keep focus on pronouncing the tones. One example is xuéxí which I tend to pronounce xuéxī. Next lesson will focus on tone pronunciation exercise.

    Ode til dansk

    Det er mit første forsøg på at skrive et digt på dansk:

    Blødt som smør er dette sprog
    Hvis lige slet ikke findes
    Men benhårdt er det også og
    Tilbøjeligt til at skændes

    For danskere er det vel en gåde
    Hvorfor jeg synes, det er vigtigt
    At kunne tale deres særligt -e sprog
    Og prøve at gøre det rigtigt

    For folk i Danmark, hver og en
    Kan engelsk som en mester
    Og gerne vil bevise det
    I hvert fald langt de fleste

    Men dansk er sejt og helt unik-t
    På en gang barsk-t og kærligt
    Og skønt det trækker tænder ud
    At lære det er bare herligt


    - Fint lille digt.
