Hey guys! Lately, Iāve been trying out a beta feature that turns lesson content into custom audio podcasts for my students. Itās been a game-changer for keeping students engaged and helping them revisit vocabulary naturally and practically between classes.
If youād like to try it yourself, hereās how it works for free:
Go to langmagic.com and log in or sign up.
In the left-hand menu (where youāll find options like āHomeā and āChatGPT Promptsā), look for the āCreate Audio-Podcastā button in the bottom right corner.
Click on it, and you will be redirected to a Google Form.
Fill out all the required fields in the form.
Within a few hours, you will receive your podcast via the email address you provided.
Does anyone know of any online courses similar to Studieskolen's that run at more accessible times for Canadians? Iām trying to find a basic A1 Danish course that I can take in the evening in my time zone, but all Iāve found so far are courses scheduled for CET evenings, which is during my work hours here in Canada. Iāve been using Duolingo and a few other apps, but Iād really like to take a more formal approach to learning the language. Any tips or recommendations would be super helpful!
Hej, I've just signed up for my free Danish course at Studieskolen in CPH. I'm in the DU3 courses. I'm wondering if I can skip modules if I learn the language fast enough. I'm trying to get fluent quickly to pass the final exam so I can study at a Danish university. I will ask the school, but its the weekend right now and I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with this.
So Iām doing the Pimsleur Danish lessons and I am on unit 2. It just introduced the word meget.
I donāt know if itās my speakers or just the nature of the word, but I canāt quite catch it (it is only spoken if youāre not familiar, I had to look it up to get the spelling, which is not helpful).
It sounds like it could be similar to the way we pronounce āmyā or āmaiā, so a vowel sound at the end, but it also sounds like it could end in an L like āmalā or āmallā.
It obviously isnāt any of those precisely, and certainly not a sound familiar to most English speakers, but Iām just trying to figure out what to do with my tongue. Do I put it in an L position or an I position? Something else?
Am I the only dan in here?

Is there any shows or movies to watch in danish to help learn Danish for beginners?
I need like a Dora the explorer but for Danish.
Duoliongo question:
We are often having cozy times together.
Vi hygger os ___ sammen.
I put in tit, correct answer ofte. I feel like I'm owned a heart. Or is there a subtle difference.
Iām learning danish via duolingo (itās free!) and Iām getting super frustrated because I cannot for the life of me figure out the difference between et and en. They are the exact same word!! I asked my grandma who was born there and is fluent in danish and she said that it even confuses kids in Denmark, so I guess Iām not alone. Are there any tips and tricks youāve learned that help you with it?
Jeg har lƦrte dansk omkring 3 Ć„r nu og er godt nok med at lƦse dansk, men jeg har en hĆ„rdt tid med samtaler og nĆ„r jeg lytter til dansk stadig fordi jeg har intet jeg kan Ćøve med. Er der nogen hvem hvil gerne snakker i dansk med mig? Eller er der nogen resources man kan anbefale til mig? Min mĆ„l er til bliver flydende, men jeg ikke vil gerne betale tutors til simpelthen snakke med mig
I cannot tell you how frustrated I am that my name includes both E and I and over the phone this led to many mistakes and errors :')
also O and Ć sound the same to me?
do you know a video/audio that shows the nuances between these sounds?
"Verbelister udleveres ved prĆøven" this was mentioned in the instructions of my PD 2 exam. Does anyone know what this list is?, any samples would be appreciated.
Im confused.. why and when to use this word? I see it all the time before verbs but how does it change the sentence?
min kat DEN har spidse Ćører og knurhĆ„r og hale
what is the function of this word in those sentences?
Jeg er glad for, at du kommer og bor hos os.
Can you give me similar sentences where og is not used as āandā but to connect two verbs that complement each other/follow one other naturally?
edit: mystery solved i just didnt think when reading the sentence below and got confused by the english translation that was correct š

Hej alle sammen! Iāve been working on this app for the last few months and would love to get peopleās thoughts on it. Itās calledĀ issen, which is a personal, conversational AI language tutor for intermediate / advanced learners. It remembers who you are and naturally adapts the chats and lessons to your particular learning style and goals.
The idea came from my experience trying to learn French. Iāve spent years at it going through many online tutors. I like the experience of a dedicated teacher a lot, but on top of being expensive and often a bit awkward, I move around a lot, so an in-person teacher is extremely hard for me to manage. I tried a bunch of language learning apps (Babbel, Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, etc.), but none of them really compared to having an actual teacher.
The idea forĀ issenĀ is for it to be that actual conversational teacher, accessible directly from your phone at any time.
You can check out the app atĀ issen.com. Please do let me know what you think, if you have any questions or feedback, or want to talk about language learning in general!
