| Cultural Insight |
| Sydney: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Asger: Like many other languages, Danish might be even more difficult to understand when on the phone. People tend to speak faster and background noise and mumbling won't make it any easier. Depending on the conversation, listen for keywords in order to understand the whole conversation. These might be places or specific times. Also, remember to say something like "bye" or "see you" before hanging up. Hej hej or vi ses. |
