The German lady made a comment about Danish people sounding like they have a potato in their mouths. That is similar to something that I heard about Norwegians, Swedes and Danes being able to understand each other, but the Danes sound like they are speaking with potatoes in their throats.
Notice that the German word Tag and the Danish word Dag are spelled similarly. But the pronunciation is different. To me, the Danish word Dag sounds just like the English word Day.
There is quite a similarity between the German word for bottle (Flasche) and the Danish word (Flaske). I am guessing that these words are related to the English word flask.
The video show that there are a lot of words in Danish that are spelled similarly to German, but they sound quite different when they are spoken.
