Note that the audio clip skips
over an optional word that is
included in the textbook.
Here's a goofy little student-made reklame (ad) for a bærbar
(carry-able, that is: portable) computer. There is only one Danish sentence in it, and that is written. Can you translate it?
Here are two clips (sent to me by Carl Walesa - thanks Carl!) of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's announcement regarding Denmark's new Covid mutation and efforts to minimize its effects.
TV2 (one of Denmark's main tv stations) edited the address down to a 1.25-minute clip.
The Danish subtitles are TV2's. The English subtitles are mine. Try watching the Danish-only clip (top) first and see if there are any words you can catch. Then you can watch the clip with the English subtitles.

Side 80
Danish does not simply use "to" (as in, I go to the school, to the library, to the office, etc). You have to memorize the preposition that "goes with" each place. Usually this is
i (Jeg skal i Tivoli/I'm going to Tivoli),
på (Jeg går på café/I'm going to a cafe), or
til (Jeg vil til Ã…rhus/I want to go to Ã…rhus).
Below, hover over the place to see the correct preposition, then click the arrow to hear the phrase "I'm going to __________" in Danish.
