And no not all Danes understand Swedish

I was at this party today where I meet this nice Swedish girl, and we where talking about language. Me being from Denmark, understand some Swedish, but not everything. And it seams that the perception is that all Danes understand Swedish… Well it’s been a well know fact for years that Norwegians and Swedes understand Danish, well that was what I thought until I was told otherwise:-)

Yes it sounds kind of similar, but no the tree nordic countries do have diffrent languages, there are similarities, but still the diffrence is there and it enough to, sometimes, make it impossible to use anything but English.
