      I'm afraid so. A Swede would say that Danish sound like Swedish spoken with a hot potato in the mouth, but the accents aren't all that different.

                  In my time at university for theatre, I've been trained in a few different accents. I do New York, English (received pronounciation), Irish, and Southern, as well as passable (but not great) Japanese, French, Greek, and Swedish (when I do the last I sound just like the Swedish Chef). I'm also working on a Middle Eastern accent.

                  Why am I not an actor again? Oh right, because I'm nice.

                    I really can't abide English accents. That may be due to my being Scots-Irish and having a thing about what the bloody sassenachs have pulled going back almost 1000 years. You should hear Craig Ferguson sometimes. The bad blood is certainly still evident there.

                    I could listen to Irish and Scottish accents all day and STILL not get tired of listening to them. *sigh*
                    Then you really, really should be watching "The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson" on CBS. He's from Glasgow. He had Kevin McKidd (Dr. Owen Hunt on "Grey's Anatomy") on last night, he's from Elgin.

                    I can usually imitate most accents I hear. On command, without hearing them, I can slip into a pretty good Irish brogue or a decent Boston accent.
                    I had someone convinced one time that I actually was from Scotland....

                      You keep saying the word Danish, and now I want a pastry.
                      You mean wienerbrød (Viennse Bread)?

                      Yeah, he's not much to look at, but he's got a GREAT voice!

                      Loves me ANY European accent, but has a special place in mine heart for Cardiff Welsh-accented English by way of Cambridge Univ. (The most sexually stimulating intellectual conversation I've ever had was with such a man, who happened to be the grad-student teaching a Victorian Lit class. The topic, curiously, was Sue Bridehead.)

                        Well, if I would've know that, when you came up here I would've told you all the time that I'm 1/8th Danish and then we could've wandered around to find a decent bakery.

                            That's not saying that much, considering all the options.
