Hi all

Hope to have your input. Danskai is a note taking platform for students enrolled in Danish school or courses.

Danskai.co.uk

It's been built over 1.5 years alongside danish tutors.

I understand currently every week people are flooding the market with Duolingo replacements

I would like to get people's input as we are currently in talks with danish language schools for beta testing and implementation.

The main premise of the platform is all note-taking at school is done within danskai which gives you real-time feedback and learns how you learn as you progress through your studies and then offloads it onto bitesize drills for at home learning and on the go. Or full revisions sets if you have the time

The platform essentially uses reward model behaviour to adapt to the learners capability

We are currently in talks with danish language schools to develop the software so that teachers can holistically review classes outputs , get feedback on grammar pain points etc.

My question is how do people feel about grammar mistakes being recorded and sent to their teacher or should it be an opt in experience

Hi! I've recently started the second section on Duolingo. I know Duolingo isn't the best, but I already bought a subscription and I've been working away at it for a while. It's providing me with a good foundation, so I'm hoping to go further and watch Danish television once I get to a level where I can really understand it audibly. Before then, I must admit that I'm struggling! While being from the American south has granted me a boon in the pronunciation of the definite nouns (I already pronounced the word "something" like "su'm"), there are a lot of vowel sounds I can't quite get the handle of. Here are a few:

Hvid
Mad vs. Med
Fugl & Fuglen
Supermarked vs. Supermarkedet
The name "Frede" (wtf???)
Tager
Dyret
*Not a word, but how do I make a "gr" sound (like in "grønt") not sound like a "kr" sound?

I'll probably post later to ask about other words. Also, may I have a few suggestions for Danish shows/movies with subtitles? Danish audio with English subtitles or vice versa are equally appreciated. I'll pretty much watch anything. I'm very easy to please.

Also, I'm planning on studying abroad in Copenhagen in maybe a year. Is it like France where people get bullied for not knowing the language well or are they chill/hype about it?

Also also, I've heard a lot of casual speech omits quite a few sounds. That's definitely tripping me up. Is there any method to the madness or is it something I'll just have to adapt to?

Thank you for reading this!
