Excerpt from newsletter 11/15/2022


We know from your feedback (thanks!) that the translations of the vocab in the exercises are of great help.

We will, however, be hiding them now... by replacing the translations with question marks.
Like this:



And why is that?

The idea is to force you brain to search for the meaning of the Danish words in your memory instead of letting the eyes look for at written translation. In other words the purpose is to work out your memory a bit more. :-)

Should you - in the end - need help with an Danish word, you just click on the question mark to have the translation displayed.

Please note: On a computer you can hit the [arrow up]-key instead of clicking the question marks to have all translations displayed at once.
If the key does not work, please put the cursor in the answer field and try again.

If you prefer to keep the translations displayed at all times, please go to settings () and turn off hide translations.

Hide translations is deactivated in demo mode.

Excerpt from newsletter 09/05/2022


This newsletter is to inform you of some improvements that we have just added to The Danish Study.

Improved design on the exercises
The most important changes are found on the computer version.
Here the design on a number of exercises has been changed to look like this:



As you can see the input field has been replaced in the exercise by the graphics [...], and the field is now places under the exercise.

After entering you answer and clicking the check button the correct answer is displayed along with a next button. You then click this button in order to proceed:



Please note: You can hit the enter key on your keyboard instead of clicking on check and next.
The purpose of these changes is to keep the screen display as calm as possible as you practise.
We hope you will like it!

You can remove the next button if you prefer yo practise without it and move directly to the next exercise. This is done by opening the settings () and switching the setting to off:



Repetition of the verbs
When practising a specific conjugation (nutid, datid...), you can now add exercises for repetition. You do this by clicking the plus symbol next to the exercise:

Please note: You can press the plus key on your keyboard instead of clicking.

That's it for now!
Please reload the page in your browser (press Ctrl+F5) for all changes to take place.

Excerpt from newsletter 09/20/2020

How it works:
The English translation of the verb is hidden and will only be shown when you click on the question mark:

Would you like to improve your Danish spelling?
We now have a new tool ready that will help you get it right! :-)

You can now use the word lists for Danish dictation. First you click on a word list and then you will find dictation below the other options under mode:



The Danish word will then be played back and you will be challenged to spell what you hear:



Tip: Hit the [arrow down] key (PC and Mac), or click on the audio symbol to have the audio repeated.
Tip: Repeat the word out loud before spelling. In this way you will preactice your pronunciation as well, and you will become more aware of the relation of pronunciation and writing.
Tip: Adapt the list before practicing.

Try it out now at www.thedanishstudy.com
- and improve your Danish spelling and pronounciation!
Excerpt from newsletter 09/24/2018


When practicing with new Danish words at The Danish Study both the writing and the audio will help you recognize the Danish word and recall the meaning of it.
When talking to a Dane in real life your brain will have to make sense of the words from the audio part alone. To imitate this we have added a new function to the word lists that will allow you to practice only by ear.

We call this new function audio, and you will find it along with the other mode settings:



In audio mode the writing is replaced by an audio symbol, and the word will be played back for you:



Try it out now: www.thedanishstudy.com
- and sharpen your ears! :-)

Repeat audio
We have added two new ways for you to have the audio repeated:
  • Click on the audio symbol
  • Press the [arrow down] key (PC and Mac)
    Please note: The cursor must be in the input field for this to work

Excerpt from newsletter 09/18/2018


We have just implemented a large update of The Danish Study - we hope you will enjoy it! :-)

Below you will find a presentation of a few of the new features:

Easy editing of verb lists and quiz
When editing a verb list like for example nutid, you can now choose between having all verbs listed or only the chosen verbs. The latter option gives you a quick overview of the verbs on the list and makes it easy for you to deselect:

Initial adaption of word lists
When starting working with a new word list you will now initially be asked to adapt the list by choosing the words you wish to include. This will only happen the first time you open a list. You can always change your settings later by clicking on adapt.
