I have a question for you: what does 'DEN' mean in TORSDAG DEN? Does it mean day? I'm trying to learn some Danish while reading your blog. And how do you pronounce it? Thors-doug den?
So what is the difference between a British sounding R and an American one? (putting you on the spot, here, Dorte! :D ) Of course, American north of the Mason-Dixon line might disagree with how I pronounce things. Regional accents can really vary!
I love the silhouettes of the birds against the sky and their perfect formations.
SvarSletDorte - What proud birds they are! I love that formation, too, and they look so strong and free up there. A great pair of 'photos!

SvarSletThank you! For once it was my husband who shot them, but I told him to :D
SvarSletDon't you just love the beauty of birds in flight?!
SvarSletKelly: I can´t resist them no matter what they do :D

SvarSletClarissa: Torsdag den 27. = Thursday the 27nd.
SvarSletBut how to explain the pronunciation?
Torsdag = ´tors-der (British, not American r-sounds) in Jutland, but with a weak g-sound (approaching the English y-ending).
Does that make sense at all? I have no idea how to teach DANISH sounds :D

Kelly: interesting that YOU don´t know because all MY students do ;D
SvarSletAnd they also know about American regions & dialects (if they remember what they learnt last year)
