Idiomatic phrase In idiomatic phrases, the words take on slightly diferent meanings, when the whole phrase is translated to another language. So you need to learn the phrase and its English equivalent as one vocabulary item. However, if you are curious to know more, check out the break down of the phase, below. There you will find the litteral meaning of each word. But remember to keep your focus on learning the whole phrase as one item. Er det noget I kan klare? Is that possible?

Break down of the idiomatic phrase Danish English Er Is Det That Noget Something I You (plural) Kan Can Klare Handle How to use it! A friendly, informal way of asking if something is possible. This is an informal phrase, but I can hardly imagine a situation, where it would sound too informal. Just in case you want to be very formal and less jovial, you could use another expression, which is a literal translation of the English equivalent word by word: Er det muligt? Is that possible?

Expressions you need to recognise Ja. Hvornr skal det vre? Yes. When do you want it to be. Ja, det kan vi godt sige. Yes, thats okay. /We can say that. Hvad siger du til i dag kl. 16? How about today at four oclock?

S skal det vre i nste uge. Then it has to be next week.

Challenge number 1: The name of the restaurant Did you manage to distinguish any sounds or words? Well the name of the restaurant that your friend recomended, is: Mad og Venner = Food and Friends

Challenge number 2: Booking a hair cut You didnt get a lot of help in the podcast. I just gave you the dialogue. However, you will find all the sentences of this dialogue above. But they are not listet in the same order in which they occur in the dialogue. Heres a great challenge: Listen to the dialogue many times, and write down the whole dialogue.

Pronunciation highlights vil is pronounced veh ville is pronounced veall nogen is pronounced nown bord is pronounced boa uge is pronounced uwe

Learn, remember and use it forever! First Create flash cards! A flash card is a piece of cardboard with Danish on one side and English on the other. Or you can download the free software Anki, and make electronic flash cards. The program will space your repetitions for you according to how well you have learned each card. Download Anki: http://ichi2.net/anki/ Its fine to make cards with single words, just make sure also to do one card for each whole phrase. This is important. ThenFlip through your flash cards many times a week. Preferably every day. And finallyUse these expressions whenever you have the chance. Never mind if you are having a conversation in English. Just go ahead and speak your Danish phrases! The reactions you get will probably be positive. Some people might even want to tell you other things you could also say in Danish. And just like that, you are having a real life language class for free and without sitting for hours in a class!
