Comprehension
Further dialogues and texts, employing the same vocabulary.
If you want to progress quickly, work a little every day. Read the dialogues several times and learn the vocabulary before you move on to the exercises. Many Danish words resemble English words and can be learned easily. The grammar is not difficult. It is only the pronunciation which may cause problems at first. The sounds are described on pages 5-9, and if you have the recording try to imitate the Danes recorded on it.
