En: Just as Lars was about to press the camera button, a mime appeared in the background. Da: Han kastede sig dramatisk ud i en positur, der fik Sofie til at grine.

Da: Måske fra den anden side af kanalen?" En: Maybe from the other side of the canal?" Da: Lars nikkede og sagde, "Eller jeg kan prøve at fjerne ham senere med lidt redigering." En: Lars nodded and said, "Or I can try to remove him later with a bit of editing." Da: De flyttede sig ned ad kajen, men mime fulgte efter dem, som en skygge. En: They moved down the quay, but the mime followed them like a shadow. Da: Mikkel blev mere og mere irriteret. En: Mikkel became more and more irritated. Da: Han skubbede kækt mime til side, men mime bare tilbage med et komisk hævet øjenbryn og gav sig til en juleagtig performance. En: He cheekily pushed the mime aside, but the mime just responded with a comically raised eyebrow and started a Christmas-like performance. Da: Lige dér, midt i Mikkels frustration, brød Lars og Sofie ud i ukontrollabel latter. En: Right there, in the midst of Mikkel's frustration, Lars and Sofie burst into uncontrollable laughter. Da: Mime dansede som en julemand, der havde mistet sin vej. En: The mime danced like a Santa who had lost his way. Da: Til sidst gav Mikkel også op og lo med.

About

Are you ready to supercharge your Danish listening comprehension? Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Danish, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Danish and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with. And our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who want to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Denmark, or perhaps you want to speak Danish with your family from there? Our podcast will give you the cultural and linguistic background to fully immerse in Danish-speaking experiences. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics, psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Danish listening comprehension. Don't miss this opportunity, give our podcast a try and see the results for yourself. Forbedr din lytteforståelse i dansk med vores fortællinger i dag!
