Helpful little book.
I am casually learning Danish. This is a handy item for when I need to look up a word when writing a short letter or reading something, but it's small enough that it'd probably be better for travel. For home use, I'd like a slightly larger book with bigger type... this is cute but it took me by surprise that is was so small in size! The vinyl binding seems sturdy enough to make this a great pocket dictionary for your travels!

Easy, complete, convenient
I am moving to Denmark and working there in a professional position and I needed a dictionary to look up a word now and then as I go through the process of re-learning Danish and also while I communicate with prospective employers and my future in-laws.I had already ownded another dictionary, a full-sized regular style dictionary.I like this one better.Even though this is sincerely a pocket-dictionary, it has had a lot of words in it that the other "full-size" one has not.

It also has fantastic quick reference pages for common words, like numbers and such.Also, the pronunciation guide has been better than the other dictionary.I really like this book a lot, and if I had to purchase dictionaries again I would only purchase this particular dictionary.

The size is also lovely.It really fits anywhere, yet with the bright yellow cover it is easy to find no matter where you have stashed it.Truly, this product will get no complaints from me.

Pocket dictionary with information for travelers
This pocket dictionary really will fit in your pocket!It has a flexible plastic cover which should wipe off easily if need be.It also has blue headwords.It appears to be as comprehensive as one would expect for this size.It includes both American and British usage (the American usage is indicated by Am).The introduction and guide to pronunciation are in both languages.There are also 31 pages at the back with information for travelers (in both English and Danish):basic (travel) phrases, abbreviations, a mini-grammar with irregular verbs, numerals, how to tell time, and metric conversions including a thermometer showing both Fahrenheit and Centrigrade/Celcius. ...

Hopefully just a case of bad editing
This book is surprisingly unhelpful.For those taking Danish as their first foreign language the book will be confusing; it will be frustrating for those who have several languages under their belt and are familiar with grammar.For example, the genitive case is introduced without a good explanation of what the genitive case is, or even explaining what a "case" is.The phonetics section is hopelessly confused; they use the same symbols for completely different sounds ([e] for the vowels in English 'sin' and French 'les'), and symbols that don't correspond at all to how my native Danish-speaking professor pronounces things.I'm going to check out the Comprehensive version from the library and hope that this book, as a pared-down version, merely suffers from bad editing.

Piskefloed (Danish for Whipped Cream) med Kaffee
A great resource for those wanting to learn Danish! ALSO good for those wishing to compare Danish (DANSK) Swedish (SVENSK) and Norwegian (NORSK). Remember, these languages have a great deal in common!

Useful, but you should probably get the comprehensive version
DANISH: An Essential Grammar by Robin Allan, Philip Holmes, and Tom Lundskaer-Nielsen is an abridged version of the authors' DANISH: A Comprehensive Grammar (New York: Routledge, 1995). This smaller version is targeted to beginning and intermediate students of the Danish language.

The grammar gives the basic accidence and syntax of Danish. The grammar is most useful for seeing at a glance how to work with the various noun and verb paradigms of this irregularity-rich language. The book is not a substitute for a proper textbooks, and with the exception of telling time (part of the chapter on the use of numerals) no common situations are treated here.

The "An Essential Grammar" edition contains one section not present in the original "A Comprehensive Grammar", namely a guide to pronunciation. However, Danish orthography is a vicious lie, and students desparately need access to casettes if they are not able to study the language in a course with a native instructor. The book does have use a phonetic alphabet, but this is non-standard. It doesn't help very much that the phonetic transcription for the Danish letter A with ring above is just A with ring above in brackets, since the International Phonetic Alphabet has no such symbol whose pronunciation we would discern.

Matters missing in the "An Essential Grammar" version include matters of stylistics and a more detailed (and diachronic) treatment of orthography and punctuation. If you are dedicated to the Danish language and intend to follow your courses to advanced levels, I'd recommend seeking out the original "A Comprehensive Grammar", which doesn't cost all that much more and which will serve you even after the initial stages. If, on the other hand, you have learnt one of the other Scandinavian languages and just want to get the gist of how Danish is different, this volume may be a more economic purchase both in price and shelf space. ...

Product Description
The difficulties of a translation vary with the character of the text, the nature of the languages involved and the intended audience. Working in two languages that boast long recorded histories yet lack the status of 'passport' tongues, the contributors to this volume wrestle with the full range of problems encountered by translators everywhere.

The sixteen pieces in the book draw on experience in diverse fields but may be roughly divided into four sections. The first focuses on translations from ancient Greek to Danish, with essays that describe specific textual challenges - the Iliad, the New Testament, the Greek tragedies translated for the stage - and take up the question of the reception of classical civilization in Denmark. The second group covers renderings of modern literature in both directions, featuring general reflections as well as a contribution on translating Kierkegaard's Philosophical Fragments and a study of Achilleus Paraschos and Danish folk songs.

The next section ventures into less literary territory with several appraisals of how Danish and Greek fare in the multilingual legal and administrative environment of EU institutions. The final articles leave books behind altogether to concentrate on subtitling of film in theory and in practice. ... Read more
