Practice Making a Reservation in 丹麦语
Phone reservations test your 丹麦语 more than face-to-face conversation: there's no body language, no menu to point at, and the other person is often busy. This scenario walks through booking a restaurant table — choosing a date and time, specifying the number of guests, mentioning dietary needs, and confirming the booking. You'll practise the specific 丹麦语 formulas for politeness on the phone, the verbs for 'to reserve' and 'to confirm', and how to spell your name letter by letter when the host can't catch it.
