Bedeutung
Stating that you are learning the language.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Danes highly value the effort of learning their language, as it is a small language spoken by only 6 million people. Among foreigners in Denmark, 'studerer dansk' is a common bond and a frequent topic of conversation at social events. In Danish universities, 'studere' is used for all subjects, but 'læse' is the more common verb for one's major. Employers often look for the phrase 'jeg studerer dansk' on CVs as a sign of long-term commitment to staying in the country.
The 'R' Rule
Always remember the 'r' at the end of 'studerer'. Without it, it's the infinitive, which sounds like a command.
Don't say 'Jeg er studerer'
This is the most common mistake for English speakers. Just say 'Jeg studerer'.
