자주 하는 실수

English speakers tend to use a hard 'd'. In Danish, a 'd' after a vowel is almost always soft.

Wrong: Pronouncing 'mad' (food) like the English word 'mad'.
정답: Pronouncing 'mad' with a soft, airy 'd' (like 'math' but voiced).

Without the stød, some words can change meaning or sound unnatural to native ears.

Wrong: Ignoring the 'stød' in 'mor' (mother).
정답: Adding a slight glottal catch to the 'o' sound.

The 'h' is always silent when followed by a 'v' in Danish.

Wrong: Pronouncing the 'h' in 'hvem' (who) or 'hvad' (what).
정답: Starting the word directly with the 'v' sound.

Next Steps

You've just taken your first step into a larger world! Danish pronunciation is a challenge, but you've already mastered the hardest concepts. Keep practicing those vowels!
