En: Freja shook her head but still moved closer to the mirror. Da: Mikkel observerede dem begge, vidende at denne nat havde en helt særlig stemning. En: Mikkel observed them both, knowing that this night had a very special atmosphere. Da: Pludselig skiftede spejlet. En: Suddenly, the mirror changed. Da: Hvor der før havde været et klart billede af deres reflekterede ansigter, var der nu kun tomhed dér, hvor Frejas spejlbillede burde være. En: Where there was once a clear image of their reflected faces, there was now only emptiness where Freja's reflection should be.

Da: Langsomt kom et formet objekt til syne; en stensøjle med indgraverede symboler. En: Slowly, a shaped object emerged; a stone column with engraved symbols. Da: "Dette kan være vigtigt," sagde Lars ivrigt. En: "This could be important," said Lars eagerly. Da: "Tænk hvis det er fra vikingetiden eller endnu ældre!" En: "Imagine if it's from the Viking age or even older!" Da: Freja drømte sig væk. En: Freja drifted into a daydream. Da: "Vi kunne blive berømte. En: "We could become famous. Da: Tænk bare, vi, de uventede opdagelsesrejser!" En: Just think, we, the unexpected explorers!" Da: Men en trussel lurede i horisonten. En: But a threat loomed on the horizon. Da: Vinden tog til, og en snefyldt storm nærmede sig hurtigt. En: The wind picked up, and a snow-filled storm was approaching quickly. Da: Lars og Freja indså, at naturens kræfter snart ville dække deres fund igen. En: Lars and Freja realized that nature's forces would soon cover their discovery again.

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.
