Summary: Two
young men decide to
steal a bicycle. The
theft is seen and
reported to the police
station. The bicycle
owner goes to the police
station to see if he can
get back his bike, but
his friends consider it
a waste of time.
Cultural notes:
"Bicycles are frequently
stolen in Denmark.
To get money from an
insurance one has to
register the theft at
the police station.
Found bicycles that
cannot be identified by
engraved numbers etc.
are sold at an auction
at the police station."
Language notes:
"Colloquial language.
Restricted structure.
Use of swear words, e.g.
sgu’ (by God) frequently
used by young Danish
people. Most Danish
swear words are related
to religion.
When greeting some young
Danes say “Hvad så mand”
(What’s up, man) it’s
considered to be “low
level” language.

Level (listening

Summary: The
video starts with an
interview of three
electrician’s
apprentices who tell
about a video they have
produced. During the
video the apprentices
tell about their Danish
studies as part of their
education.
The students’ video
shows a first day’s
apprentice and some
jokes that are pulled on
him.
Cultural notes:
A first day's apprentice
is frequently the victim
of practical jokes.
Language notes:
Colloquial language. Use
of swear words, e.g. for
Fanden (by the devil)
frequently used by young
Danish people. Most
Danish swear words are
related to religion.
The jokes are related to
possible
misinterpretation of
words some cannot be
properly translated as
they are built on double
meanings in Danish. Some
explanations below:
Kabeltrækker – cable
layer
Knofedt – elbow grease
(in Danish “knuckle”
grease)
Skydelære – sliding
gauge (In Danish
“shooting” gauge)
Other notes: The
video reflects what a
class of student can
produce within five
hours. The students have
been resonsible of
recording and editing
without any advice or
other interference from
the teacher.

Summary: For mange
psykisk syge er
isolation og ensomhed en
trist del af hverdagen.
Men med projekt Bryd
Isolationen har
sindslidende mulighed
for at deltage i
fjernundervisning og at
chatte med andre i samme
situation – og måske på
den måde få nye venner
og en mere indholdsrig
hverdag…

Summary: Nu kan
hjertepatienter gå rundt
i deres eget hjem, gå på
indkøb, besøge venner og
så videre – samtidig med
at deres hjerterytme
overvåges på sygehuset.
Det sker via et
måleapparatur og en
mobiltelefon. For
omkring halvdelen af
alle hjertepatienter kan
projektet her være med
til at give dem en
normal – og tryg -
hverdag…
Now cardiac
patients can walk about
in their own home, go
shopping, see friends
and all – while their
heartbeat is monitored
from the hospital. This
happens via a measuring
instrument and a mobile
phone. To about half of
all cardiac patients
this project can be a
contribution to give
them a normal – and safe
– everyday life…

sikrer, at
produktionslinjer
fungerer optimalt – også
for medarbejderne? Det
har man prøvet hos

Dynamic
simulation is already

working optimally – also
for the personnel? This
was tried at Martin
