Danish vs Dutch - FAQ
- Is Danish or Dutch harder to learn?
- We won't rank them: it depends on what you already speak. Danish does not change its verbs according to who is acting, while Dutch does - which is usually the biggest early difference in effort.
- Can I practise speaking both?
- Yes. The tutor speaks both Danish and Dutch aloud, and both support pronunciation practice with your microphone.
