    Danish is a gigachad language because they use the incredibly satisfying /ð/ as in ved. I don’t even know exactly what that thing is it’s some kind of an abomination of a velarized laminal approximant and absolutely impossible for any non-native to pronounce.

      the soft d? It’s not hard imo, as a non-native. I understand language is mostly muscle memory/training but really it’s just learning how to use the … back? of your throat and tongue to make the right sounds with danish. Most of it requires your tongue to be flat or throat open to some degree.

      This all sounds very sexual but I do truly mean it LOL
