SELF-STUDY DANISH: Unit 13 of "Einstieg Dänisch", Week 18
I spent almost the whole weekend in the Netherlands having Dutch immersion there. So this was language efficient, but not for my Turkish or Danish.
Meanwhile I have studied the whole Unit 13 which deals with two women shopping for clothes. The vocabulary is centered on different clothes, sizes and colours.
Some Danish colours:
blå = blau
brun = braun
grøn = grün (Grønland!)
grå = grau
gul = gelb
hvid = weiß
rød = rot
sort = schwarz
See the famous Danish tongue twister: Rød grød med fløde. = Rote Grütze mit Sahne.
There are some Danish modal verbs = auxiliary verbs presented:
1. kunne = können
Vi kan tage metroen.
Jeg kan godt tænke mig en røde kjole.
2. måtte = dürfen
Du må ikke ryge her.
Må jeg gå nu?
3. skulle = sollen
Skal vi gå derhen?
Du skulle tage den sorte kjole.
Jeg skal til concert i morgen.
4. ville = wollen, möchten
Jeg wil gerne have en kop kaffe.
Vil du godt give mig opskriften?
Jeg wil tage de sorte sko.
I was a pity that I didn't have the time to study all this in two days, but I had to spread the whole lessen over a long period. I wish to get more time for language learning again...

IN-BETWEEN, Week 18
I am a bit lagging behind my own language learning targets. What I do a lot is listening to my audio-CDs with my MP3-player. This week I was listening intensively to my Danish lessons. I could do this in the launderette, where I had to spend a lot of time doing my washing. Concerning the real study work of new units I missed free time for that. I have a minijob now, but the employment office forces me to continue applying for jobs (with more working hours!). Therefore I spend my time with writing applications and taking part in job interviews - wheras I would rather concentrate only on my minijob and do more quantity of language studies. What a pity!

EVALUATION OF DANISH READING SKILLS
Today I had the experience that I read one of Iversen's Danish posts and I could understand it quite well without looking up too many Danish words.
What I now want to know is, whether this is significant for my Danish reading ability in general and in how far I can conclude improvements in my Danish reading skills.
Here in this forum there are plenty of interesting posts in Danish, so I will take 4 others, read them by looking up unknown words, to have a selection of 5 posts in total.
The result of this experiment I will comment here in my TAC - log. So I'm curious what the result will be...

Hilsen til alle danskstuderende i Oz.
Jeg har en gang imellem skrevet noget på dansk i min egen log, men ´hvis jeg skulle vente på at der sker noget i denne tråd, ville mit skæg gro fast i gulvet.
'Klovn' er ikke lige min stil, men det er også en meget populær udsendelse her.
Der er egentlig ikke så meget mystik i "få" og "fik" (eller "skal" og "skulle"): "få" og "skal" er nutid, "fik" og "skulle" er fortid (som også bruges i hypotetiske sætninger).
"Én"/"Ét" (eller i ældre tekster "een"/"eet") er talord ("ligesom engelsk "one").Formerne "en"/"et" kan være talord (når distinktionen ikke er afgørende), men som hovedregel er disse former ubestemte artikler ligesom engelsk "a".
Man kan sagtens bruge ordet 'show' på dansk. Det bedste rent danske alternativ er "forestilling" (som også har en anden betydning, nemlig tanke eller idé)
Og du skulle ikke ønske dig at se dine fejl forbedret, - danskere kan have en ret barsk humor. Det du ønsker er snarere at se rettelser. Men pudsigt nok resulterer sådanne rettelser i en forbedret tekst. Sprog er ikke altid logiske - heller ikke dansk!

RESULT NR.1 EVALUATION DANISH READING SKILLS
I have received good advice from Iversen - who has abundant experience with word counts of foreign languages - how to measure reading skills in a reliable way.
So I took a random text of a Danish newspaper:
Hâb for folk med kroniske smerter - from: Ârhus Stiftstidende (12-5-2010)
This text has 124 words and I had to look up 17 unknown Danish words.
Quotient: 17/124 = 13,7 % unknown Danish words
Translation: Hâb for folk med kroniske smerter = Hoffnung für Menschen mit chronischen Schmerzen
- to be continued -
