"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you have lived at all"    Leo Rosten

    Learning Danish

    So before I came over here I had every intention of trying to learn some Danish. After all, while in Denmark.....

    However that has all come crashing around. Why? The Danish language is hard! Really hard. First of all they make sounds my mouth doesn't even know how to make. But thats not strange as I've noticed that in the all the other language as well.

    But the hardest part here, is even if you start reading the language, they don't pronounce the whole word. They pronounce only part of the word and combine words and everything turns into a big melted pot of taffy. You can't pull it apart.

    Want to know what i'm talking about? Go to this site

    They have little audio links to the sentences. You have to listen to it like 10 times just to figure out they actually are saying what is written.

    Crazy! So other then the basics I don't know how much I'm going to pick up. Maybe just the "Hey how you doin?"
