12th Feb - Danish Lunch

On Thursday we had a special Danish lesson. Firt of all our teachers thought us some basic vocabulary we need for shopping (the most important thing in foreign country is to be able to feed yourself, of course! ;) ).
So we learnt numbers until tusind (I am sure you guessed right that it means thousand ;) ) and a plenty of words connected with food - kinds of fruits, vegetable, mælkeprodukter ;), meat and the basic conversation in the shop.
Some of the words are similar to English or German, therefore the written form is not difficult in some cases. However - the pronunciation! Oops, completely different!!! I think that is the most difficult thing about Danish language. We have to practice a lot;)

And the practical part came. Every group got a list of a few things which to buy in the shop. For instance our group had a task to buy:
  • rugbrød (dark bread - it´s the basic of a typical Danish lunch - because the Danes eat cold lunch, the main meal is dinner then)
  • mælk - at least three kinds including kærnemælk (=kefir). ( You can find different boxes of milk in Denmark: navy blue (3,5 % fat) milk, blue (1,5%), light blue (0,5%), but also grey milk (0,1%)-which is the cheapest, but horrible, it´s like white water.)
  • spegepolse (salami)
  • tomat






We went altoghether to Fakta and then to our teacher´s house to prepare it and EAT IT :). The best way how to experience real Danish lunch and try their various stuff (e.g. leverpostej and frikadeller (Danish liver pate and meat balls), yum yum! :)
We enjoyed this day very much. "Tak!"
