Welcome, student, to my Danish collection.With this collection, you can quickly learn the words necessary for you to be understood in most situations. Beware that actually understanding what we say back to you may require a much greater effort. Danish is quite a difficult language to learn, and unless you are going to live in Denmark, there is not much reason to learn it, since most people here speak English very well. If you still want to learn it, I highly recommend using a study book in addition to SuperMemo.
I have included audio clips for the pronunciation, since written and spoken Danish are often so different that the spelling can be very misleading for pronunciation. Consider grading yourself according to pronunciation in addition to (or instead of) the spelling. Danish is, to the regret of many students of Danish, a very slurry language, and we often skip much of the word in the pronunciation. In the sound clips, though, my pronunciation is often a bit more clear than people would normally pronounce it.
I have ordered the words into categories of word groups, and in each category I have put what I judge as the most essential words first. Sometimes I have put the words into a context, both to aid understanding, and to help you practice words you have already learned.
