==Getting started==
<p>Before we dive into the vocabulary, let's review some of the basics of Danish pronunciation. Danish is a Germanic language, and it is closely related to Norwegian and Swedish. Danish pronunciation can be challenging, especially when it comes to the infamous "stød" sound, which is a glottal stop.</p>
