Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, ready for episode 145 of Learn Danish with Fexingo? Luna: Always! And I think I know where we're going today... a bakery? Lucas: You guessed it. After all those episodes about ordering coffee and bread, it's time for pastries. Today we'll learn how to order two classic Danish treats: a kanelsnegl and a wienerbrød. Luna: Two of my favorites. So how do I ask for a kanelsnegl? Lucas: You say: Jeg vil gerne have en kanelsnegl. Let me say it slowly: Jeg vil gerne have en kanelsnegl. Kanelsnegl is the cinnamon roll. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en kanelsnegl. That's actually not too hard! But what about a wienerbrød? Lucas: Almost the same. Jeg vil gerne have et wienerbrød. Note that wienerbrød is 'et' word, so it's 'et wienerbrød'. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have et wienerbrød. Got it. And then I need to ask how much it costs, right? Lucas: Exactly. You ask: Hvad koster det? — What does that cost? Let's practice. Hvad koster det? Luna: Hvad koster det? And the baker might say: Det koster 30 kroner. Lucas: You're ahead of me. Yes, Det koster 30 kroner. That's about three euros. Now imagine you want to pay with card. You ask: Kan jeg betale med kort? Luna: Kan jeg betale med kort? Okay. So the full scenario: I walk in, say 'Jeg vil gerne have en kanelsnegl og et wienerbrød,' then ask 'Hvad koster det?' The baker says 'Det koster 60 kroner.' Then I ask 'Kan jeg betale med kort?' Lucas: Perfect! Let's say each pastry is 30 kroner, so total 60. That's spot on. Let's repeat all five phrases together. Repeat after me: Jeg vil gerne have en kanelsnegl. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have en kanelsnegl. Lucas: Jeg vil gerne have et wienerbrød. Luna: Jeg vil gerne have et wienerbrød. Lucas: Hvad koster det? Luna: Hvad koster det? Lucas: Det koster 30 kroner. Luna: Det koster 30 kroner. Lucas: Kan jeg betale med kort? Luna: Kan jeg betale med kort? Lucas: Great job!
