A recent report ranked Danes as among the best speakers of English as a second language, but that doesn't mean they're perfect. Here are The Local's top ten mistakes that Danes in English.
As we reported on Tuesday, Danes are the world's second best non-native English speakers. As recently as 2014, they topped the annual English Proficiency Index list.
There's no doubt that Danes are excellent English speakers, but to poke some good-natured fun at our Danish friends, we’ve compiled a list of the ten most common mistakes Danes make when speaking English.
We’ve managed to pack four of them into this sentence: “I really see forward to buying some new furnitures this weekend, I think shopping is vonderfully funny.”
