Frequently asked questions
How many Danish words do I need to know?
In most languages, the 1,000 most common words make up the large majority of everyday text, and the top 100 alone make up around half. Our Top 100 list is the quickest starting point.
What's the best order to learn Danish vocabulary?
Start with high-frequency words (Top 100) and the first few topical lists: greetings, family, numbers, food, and everyday verbs. Once those feel familiar, branch into the topics closest to your life — work, hobbies, travel.
Why is Danish pronunciation so different from the spelling?
Danish has heavy vowel reduction, silent consonants, and the famous "stød". Reading alone won't teach you to speak — that's why every example sentence here has audio. Always listen and repeat, not just read.
