Danish Lesson One
The most important Danish word is 'Hej', which one might loosely translate into the English/American 'Hi'. The Danish Hej however has a lot of other meanings, entirely depending on the connection, the phrasing, the timbre, the mood, the musical way, its said, and sometimes supported by the accompanying body language.
Here is a first Danish lesson then, with a glimpse in the eye, on how the Danish word Hej can be used in many connections. You better practice the use of it, to make sure you get the right meaning communicated!
