Seems to match the stereotype. 🙄
Personally, I found *reading* any of written Norwegian, Danish, Swedish (in the order of familiarity to me) quite easy to manageable.
*Listening* to any of them, and figuring out the meaning of the sounds as spoken by people on the streets is a completely different level.
Last year, at a café in Stockholm, I met a group of Norwegians from an island way up north. We had nice conversations, loved it. But as soon they were talking to each other in their native language, I had huge troubles to even recognize some of the spoken words, lest alone to get the gist of their conversation.
So, it doesn't need Danish to get lost in translation 🤭
