Thanks, I already spoke German and Dutch but hadn’t learned a new language in years. After watching Bron I fell in love with Swedish and Danish and decided to learn them. I went with Swedish first and picked it up ridiculously quickly as the similarities to German, English and Dutch were readily apparent and the grammar (particularly verb conjugation) is much more straightforward. To be honest I think Swedish ought to have been the international language instead of English as it’s much more logical, consistent, phonetic and easy to learn.
Danish is a bit trickier; written is fine but listening is a harder prospect. And the number system mad! Again, the similarity to German helped a lot, especially with the pronunciation. I really seem to have a thing about the “guttural” languages; I love how they sound and think they are beautiful.
