But when to do what?
Also for the adverbs of place, such as "ud" vs. "ude", "over" vs. "ovre", we need to know when to say the stød and when not to.

In English you have the two verbs "lie" and "lay", but in German you use their counterparts "liegen" and "legen" somewhat differently.
Also, there are two words for "sit" (sitzen / setzen) and two words related to "stand" (stehen / stellen).
In this video I'll teach you how to use these 6 verbs, as always with lots of example sentences.
We'll also look at reflexive pronouns, an important port of the German language.

Do you want to avoid being left out of the conversion? Do you want to understand the small subtleties in conversational Danish? Then you should have your eyes (and your ears) wide open for modal particles.
In this video we will have a look at the following modal particles (på dansk: modalpartikler):
jo
nok
da
altså
vel
mon
vist

When used as a modal particle, it is even more difficult to pin point its meaning.
So that's what I will be attempting in this video.
I hope the usage of ALTSÅ gets more or less clear to you after watching the video.
