English as a Friend

It's unclear in my head when exactly I met English, but i do remember (at the latest) in 1st grade when I was in Pakistan, and since then I have mainly spoken, read and written in public and school. This is because I have only been in international schools my entire 15 year old life. Now English is very much like Danish, in terms of (most) sounds and sentence structures. How there's an article before a noun and then a verb and sometimes adverbs. However, the main problem would be the difference in the alphabets. In Danish there are 3 extra letters in our alphabet: Æ, Ø, and Å. This does make switching between the languages on the spot a little difficult with speaking, reading and spelling. Spelling is my biggest issue I have with both of the languages.

  1. Thanks for sharing these insights on your language background. I'm curious to know what those three extra Danish phonemes sound like. Let's review your paragraph together, OK? here are some grammatical points I ant to make. Finally, try to write a bit longer the next time. The expectation is for 300-400 words. //Ap
