| Danish Learning Grou - Come on guys! Time to get together to form your Danish learning group. Post a day and time of the week that works best for you to meet and practice online in Classroom with other students, agree on a set of books to use in common, and get started! You may want to reference the Swedes, they have a head start on you: http://www.phrasebase.c../../forum/read.php?TID=2602 | |

| - I'm keen, although GMT+12 (or +13 at the moment with daylight savings) probably won't work well with a lot of people... (ie. North Americans) | |

| - Hehe. I was just thinking of this yesterday. I'm really interessted in learning Danish. I can come on anyday, in the morning from 4:30 am to 6:00 am, and from 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm. I live in the US Central time zone, which is GMT - 6. ** Now, if we study on weekends, I'm more flexible. ** | |

| - Ok so far we have a move towards Weekends ( I have Norwegian on Sundays - group hasn't finalized meeting time yet ). We need to find out what books you are using so everyone that joins in can have the same dictionary/grammar books/teach yourself books as you guys are using. | |

| - Would the people using the books post what the books says here on the forums, or would we have to buy the book ourselves? | |

| - I would imagine we'd list good books and buy em off amazon or something... | |

| - All you Danish students! Here are some suggestions, you guys need to decide on what the group shall use. I would recommend Teach Yourself Danish as a book that will let you try a variety of learning excercises together: I would also repeat other suggestions that you do not get the Teach Yourself Danish book alone without any form of Audio product. This is not Norwegian!

| - Hey everybody. I'm really interested in learning Danish. It looks like there's some interest in a weekend group? I'm open for anytime on the weekend if anyone actualy wants to try a group thing. I horrible at sticking to a schedule though. And is there anyone that actually speaks Danish that is willing to help if we end up making a group Classroomroom thing? I just got a "Teach yourself Danish" book with the CD's. and that's it for now. bis bald, Austin | |

| - Hey mate, There are a few Danes around.. Freja, Jenkie... both seem to be pretty helpful & friendly. Who is your "teach yourself danish" set by? I just picked up "Danish in 3 months" from the library today, by Hugo. I'll let you all know if its any good :D Vi Ses, Twiz | |
