    Was going to say if you speak Norwegian you can converse and read in Denmark and it’s seamless.

    Nynorsk is interesting. Dialects are hard.

      They only teach bokmål in the language courses for foreigners, even if you live in a nynorsk area. Until relatively recently school children were expected to learn both and if you were expected to reply to letters/emails in the same language as they were written in. That doesn’t happen as much now.
