I wish Danish was as easy as Spanish...and I think Chuck wishes the same thing. On our drive back from Berlin, we were doing a Danish lesson. I was reading words in Danish and trying to get Chuck to come up with the English translation. Here's how it went:
Holly: et hus
Chuck: a dog?
Holly: nope, a house; en hund is a dog; en bard?
Chuck: a boat?
Holly: nope, a child; a boat is et bad (with a circle above the a)
Chuck: ask me quiz, really ask me what quiz is, come on ask me what quiz is.
Holly: quiz?
Chuck: quiz!
Yep, the joy of some Danish words being the same as English words: yo-yo, yoga, computer, quiz. Poor Chuck.
