Practice Making Plans in Dansk
Making plans is one of the most useful real-world Dansk skills: it requires future tenses, time expressions, suggestions, and the gentle back-and-forth of agreeing on a place. This scenario rehearses the entire planning conversation — proposing a day, suggesting an activity, picking a time and place, and confirming via text. You'll practise the Dansk verbs for 'to suggest', 'to agree', 'to prefer', and the polite phrasing that lets you decline a suggestion without offence. By the end you'll organise an outing in Dansk as easily as you would in English.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål
How do I suggest going somewhere in Dansk?
Use the conditional or 'shall we' construction — 'How about going to…?' — which is softer than the imperative.
How do I politely decline a Dansk invitation?
There's a face-saving formula — 'Thanks, but I can't on Friday — could we do another day?' — that doesn't slam the door. The scenario rehearses it.
What's the Dansk for 'let's meet at 8'?
A specific construction with the time prefix — included in the vocabulary list.
How do I confirm plans last-minute in Dansk?
Short texts in Dansk use a contracted style. The scenario shows the casual register: 'Still on for tonight?' style.
