Learn Danish Vocabulary — Including the Pronunciation No Course Teaches
Danish is called 'a throat disease' by fellow Scandinavians — its pronunciation is that unusual. But it's also the language of Denmark's world-class design, engineering, and pharmaceutical industries, plus the gateway to all of Scandinavia. WordPlus drills vocabulary with audio so the gap between written and spoken Danish stops being a wall.
The Problem
Danish is notorious for the gap between written and spoken language. Words that look identical to Swedish or Norwegian sound completely unrecognizable in Danish due to the stød (glottal stop) and swallowed consonants.
How WordPlus Solves It
WordPlus includes TTS audio for every Danish word so you hear the correct pronunciation — including the notoriously soft d's and dropped syllables — every time you review a card.

Why Danish Is Hard to Learn
Danish has one of the largest gaps between spelling and pronunciation in Europe. Native speakers drop many consonants in speech that appear in writing. Even neighboring Scandinavians find spoken Danish difficult.
Famously difficult pronunciation (the 'soft d', swallowed syllables), despite simple grammar.
