I speak a very small amount of danish as my mother's family is from there.Since it had been 30 years since I had been to Denmark , I thought a danish dictionary would come in handy.Don't waste your money on this book.The translations are spelled in danish of course , but there is no english pronunciation right next to the word.The beginning of the book has the danish alphabet and language rules , but if you knew how to read the language and how the rules apply , you'd already be speking danish !Worthless !!
