Practice Catching Up With a Friend in Duński
Catching up with a Duński-speaking friend is the scenario where natural fluency really shows. Past tenses, opinions, gossip, plans for the future — it all comes together in one rambling conversation. This scenario rehearses the friendly informal register, the verbs you need to talk about what you've been up to, and the small reactions ('No way!', 'Really?', 'That's amazing') that make you sound less like a tourist and more like a friend. You'll practise asking about family, work, and weekend plans without sounding like you're filling out a form.
