Dialogue 1
Video in English about the Danish island of Samsø. This was the first place I ever lived in Denmark and it is my favorite island. The video is about the alternative energy efforts going on there, which are extraordinary.
Ribe is the oldest Danish city still in existence today. It was 1300 years old in 2010! This video is about their Viking Center and it's in Danish with English subtitles.

A more in-depth report on Samsø's renewable energy. But please do not imitate this narrator's pronunciation of Samsø. It's terrible! (In the video above, the Dane pronounces the name correctly even while speaking English - listen to him!)

Læs og lyt!/Read and Listen!
Køge er en smuk gammel by. Den ligger 38 kilometer syd for København Der kommer mange turister til Køge. De fleste kommer fra Tyskland og England, men der kommer også mange fra Polen og de baltiske lande. Der er også mange tyrkere i Køge, men de er ikke turister. De bor og arbejder i byen, og deres børn går i dansk skole og taler dansk.
