Danish

Danish is a North Germanic language spoken by almost 6 million people. The sound system of Danish is in many ways considered unusual among the world’s languages, which makes it one of the hardest languages to learn, as the spoken language usually does not sound anything like its written version.

Specifically, speaking Danish is a different story. The biggest limiting factor in learning to speak the Danish language are the Danes themselves. Danes have enormous difficulties in understanding foreigners. The majority of Danes seem to be incapable of understanding even the slightest mispronounced word or improperly conjugated verb or noun. They also appear to have incredible difficulties in picking up what someone is trying to say who has an accent.
