<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Beginner's Danish offers basic language instruction in the national language of Denmark, presenting grammar, vocabulary, and common phrases in clear, concise lessons. Perfect for both classroom and independent students, each of the 13 lessons opens with dialogues on topics such as greetings, family, athletics, dining, illness, holidays and celebrations. Following the dialogues are vocabulary lists, explanations of grammar, and exercises. Two audio CDs accompany the lessons, providing correct pronunciation of all the vocabulary and a selection of the dialogues, with pauses for repetition by the student. Also included are an exercise key, Danish-English and English-Danish glossaries, as well as an introduction to Danish history and culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The smallest of the Scandinavian countries, Denmark is made up of a peninsula (Jutland) attached to northern Germany, and a collection of islands known as the Danish Archipelago. Modern spoken Danish has gained a reputation as being exceptional and difficult for foreigners to understand and master. The nine Danish vowels represent sixteen different sounds and most of the consonants are unvoiced. A unique feature is the 'stod', the glottal stop, used to distinguish between several homonyms and words. The Danes also tend to drop inflectional endings, and this perceived mumbling, even in formal standard Danish, may present problems to those learning the language. The audio CDs emphasise pronunciation and address these issues in a series of engaging exercises on greetings, family, athletics, dining, illness, holidays and celebrations. Perfect for both classroom and independent students, the book also contains lessons on grammar, a glossary of vocabulary words, and a thorough introduction to Danish history and culture.
