DANISH RESOURCES based on the German language
I would like to sum up all my study material here which I use to learn Danish. It's all bought in Germany and based on the German language. Not only interesting for native German speakers but also for L3 via L2 learners! 1. Lehrbuch mit Übungen Einstieg Dänisch, Hueber-Verlag, Level A1, mit 2 Audio CDs 2. Lehrbuch Vi snakkes ved + Arbeitsbuch Vi snakkes ved, Hueber-Verlag, Level A1/A2, mit 1 Audio CD The second Audio CD for the textbook you have to buy extra. 3. Lehrbuch Dänisch neu + Arbeitsbuch Dänisch neu, Hueber-Verlag, Level A1/A2 2 Audio CDs have to be bought extra, they are not included in the books. 4. PONS Grammatik kurz & bündig Dänisch - einfach, verständlich, übersichtlich 5. As bilingual dictionaries I would strongly recommend to order the original Gyldendal-dictionaries from Denmark - they are absolutely the best you can use! :) Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 10 November 2011 at 8:40pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

at the university, we use "Av, min arm! - Dänisch für Deutschsprachige" for danish, which comes with a CD and an exercise book. It's okay, it manages to teach you a lot of vocabulary in a short time and has amusing lessons; on the other hand it seems rather unsystematic, not too well structured and sometimes a bit half-baked, especially in the vocabulary part, where very often old words are given again while new words are not explained at all, and also sometimes it doesn't give you all the relevant forms of a new word, even though it explicitly suggests you always learn all the forms, even if you don't know yet how to use them. Still, it's an okay textbook for classes, i don't think I would recommend it - at least not as a primary source - if you want to study on your own.

Thanks a lot for this book review, I saw this textbook on www.sprachwelt.de, it's good to to get to know some experiences of a learner of Danish. The books I listed up in my post above in this thread I can recommend for 100 % as I personally can work very well with them. I personally prefer systematic and well-structured textbooks and workbooks. Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 19 December 2011 at 7:24pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

A very good and detailed grammatical overview of Icelandic is to be found here:
Kress, Bruno: Isländische Grammatik, VEB Verlag Enzyklopädie: Leipzig 1982. An excellent presentation of Icelandic grammar, especially for German students of Icelandic. It is an academic reference work with detailed description of phonetic, morphological, and syntactical phenomenons. It is very exact and detailed and despite its date of publication still up to date. It's not for sale anymore - though perhaps in second-hand bookshops -, but might be obtainable through university libraries. Because of its detailed description of the Icelandic language, I recommend it for advanced learners only. The beginner might be overwhelmed by the complex grammatical structure of Icelandic as it is presented here. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Kress' is the best grammar that exists for Icelandic, better than anything in English or even Icelandic itself. I use it
extensively despite struggling sometimes with the German explanations. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have noticed there aren't any resources for Faroese yet. You can use Young's Faroese-English Dictionary (Føroysk-ensk orðabók) via Google Books for free. It's the best online resource for Faroese that I have found.
Other resources for Faroese: W. B. Lockwood: An Introduction to Modern Faroese, Føroya Skúlabókagrunnur: Tórshavn 1977. Hjalmar P. Petersen, Jonathan Adams: Faroese. A Language Course for Beginners, Stiðin: Tórshavn 2009. Annfinnur í Skála, Jonhard Mikkelsen: Føroysk-ensk orðabók and Ensk-føroysk orðabók, Sprotin: Vestmanna 2007. Höskuldur Þráinsson: Faroese. An Overview and Reference Grammar, Føroya Fróðskaparfelag: Tórshavn 2004. Edited by Josquin on 11 May 2012 at 9:54pm 5 persons have voted this message useful |
