From Æbleskiver to Øl: Words with Letters You’ll Love
Danish has some special letters that make the language extra fun to say and learn—like æ, ø, and å. These letters look different and sound unique, and they show up in some of Denmark’s most delicious and interesting words!
Tasty and Curious Words
Here are a few fun words to explore:
- æbleskiver – sweet pancake balls
- øl – beer (a grown-up word kids love to say!)
- rødgrød med fløde – red berry pudding with cream (also a pronunciation challenge!)
- blå – blue
- båden – the boat
These words don’t just sound cool they’re also a great way to get comfortable with Danish pronunciation.
