Danes speak wonderful English, yet they make a few common mistakes over and over. Whether it's thinking "competent" is a compliment, directly translating stuffy words like "derfor" and "hermed" or using "already" to describe a future event, this short book offers up a list of easy-to-fix mistakes to help Danes make their spoken and written English even more smooth and impressive.
