Hej alle sammen!
This week’s Danish practice is all about summer food — something Danes love to enjoy during the long, bright months. You’ve probably seen or heard of jordbær med fløde, koldskål, or grillmad. Let’s use this delicious topic to build your vocabulary and practice some simple sentences in Danish.
Your Task:
Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) in Danish about:
What you like to eat in the summer
If you’ve tried any Danish summer food
A food or drink from your country that reminds you of summer
Here are some useful words and phrases:
- Sommermad – summer food
- Jordbær – strawberries
- Grill – grill / barbecue
- Koldskål – chilled buttermilk dessert
- Jeg kan godt lide... – I like...
- Om sommeren spiser jeg... – In the summer I eat...
- Min yndlingsret er... – My favorite dish is...
- I mit hjemland... – In my home country...
Example (A2-level):
Om sommeren kan jeg godt lide at spise jordbær med fløde. Jeg har også prøvet koldskål – det smager frisk! I mit hjemland drikker vi is te og spiser vandmelon, når det er varmt.
Post your answer in the comments — even a few sentences is great practice!
Let’s read each other’s food stories and get inspired for the next picnic
