That's 'There's oatmeal, eggs, and rye bread.' Luna: Der er havregrød, æg og rugbrød. Ooh, that's a mouthful. Let me try again. Der er havregrød, æg og rugbrød. Lucas: So close. The rhythm is smooth: Der er havregrød, æg og rugbrød. You'll get it with practice. Luna: I love how that sounds. It's like a little breakfast poem. Lucas: It is. Now, if you want a drink, you might say: Må jeg få et glas juice? 'Can I have a glass of juice?' Luna: Må jeg få et glas juice? That's useful. I'd say that every morning if I could. Lucas: And don't forget to ask someone if they want more coffee: Vil du have mere kaffe? Luna: Vil du have mere kaffe? That's so important. My friends would love that. Lucas: And the polite answer is: Ja tak, det vil jeg gerne. 'Yes, please, I'd love that.' Luna: Ja tak, det vil jeg gerne. So nice. I can already imagine a cozy Danish breakfast.
