They like to go for a joyride as much as the next person. <br /><br />I recently had a student describe his new-found strategy for pronouncing Danish as "Start out with gusto, then teeter out in the middle of the word. Same strategy applies to the overall sentence".<br />All foreigners suffer from Danish (I wanna add an '-itis'), and danes suffer, too. I moved 350 km west of Copenhagen, and I occasionally have to turn my decoder ring a few notches to the left and stare stupidly at the mouth of some garbled jutlandian speaker in order to understand whether he's talking about preg-testing cows or digging out lakes (grawitsteståkør is almost the same as grawudtesør). And dude, I so don't want to know about either of 'em.

Usually, when I dream about being pregnant (which is rare), a friend or family member totally drops a sprog.<br /><br />So? Any twinges? Any, you know, babies come out of you? xxx<br /><br />Btw, the dream was a nightmare.

If you don't have a driving light, then you have to drive with the short distance light. The sun-down to sun-up rule is for the short distance and long distance lights. After dark, you are not allowed to drive with your driving light. At least that's what I remember from when I took my license. :)Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899351920200519306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-38993752443913552332011-03-11T19:40:54.331+01:002011-03-11T19:40:54.331+01:00Everyone in DK drives around with their lights on ...Everyone in DK drives around with their lights on all the time too - in fact most people think it's the law to have the lights on all the time. Only it's not actually what the law says. The law says you must have your lights on from sundown to sun up and when conditions are poor (such as when it's raining, snowing, overcast, foggy, etc.). Since the weather normally sucks in DK, it just makes it much easier to have your lights on all the time.<br /><br />Strangely enough, "cars" were the topic I chose to talk about for the second part of my speaking section and we talked about the headlight rule.Archaeogoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305683483488880519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-46298718689858854952011-03-11T18:29:28.803+01:002011-03-11T18:29:28.803+01:00Ha ha ha teddy bears!

Its true - you just don't know sometimes.<br /><br />In this part of Texas everyone drives with their headlights on all the time because supposedly its safer. Not just the regular headlights but the bright setting. All the time. The only time they turn them off is when it rains. Sigh.<br /><br />Whipped cream on applesauce? Eew. Though I must admit that adding heavy whipping cream to an apple pie (thus making a 'Dutch' apple pie) is heavenly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841909429785434537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-36540058749945068102011-03-11T14:15:52.994+01:002011-03-11T14:15:52.994+01:00LOL

I had that EXACT same weird dentist guy on my mod 4 test and I also thought I failed big time, because I really had trouble understanding anything that dude said. I did end up passing though and you probably will as well!<br /><br />On the other hand, I took my driver's test in English. There wasn't a chance in hell I was going through that nightmare in Danish!<br /><br />The side dish potato chips - does your danish family use those weird potato puff things? I believe they are called "menu" chips - it's like a potato chip that's been injected with air. Very strange thing that. And yeah, I don't get why it's served with pork and duck.PiNG aka Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486002308919156913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-60446812468130003792011-03-11T11:52:42.664+01:002011-03-11T11:52:42.664+01:00Same problem - all the words (that one can hear) s...Same problem - all the words (that one can hear) sound the same.
