I Københavns snørklede gader var der tre venner - Anders, Lars og Mette.

In the winding streets of Copenhagen, there were three friends - Anders, Lars, and Mette.

De var glade.

They were happy.

De boede sammen i en lille hyggelig lejlighed.

They lived together in a cozy little apartment.

Men, de havde et problem.

But they had a problem.

Nogle danske ord var meget svære for dem at udtale.

Some Danish words were very difficult for them to pronounce.

En morgen sagde Mette, "Vi skal lære de svære danske ord."

One morning, Mette said, "We need to learn the difficult Danish words."

Alle nikkede.

Everyone nodded.

De var klar til at prøve.

They were ready to try.

Først forsøgte de at sige 'rødgrød'.

First, they attempted to say 'rødgrød'.

Anders rullede tungen og sagde, "Rø-gød."

Anders rolled his tongue and said, "Rø-gød."

Mette prøvede næste og sagde, "Rød-flød."

Mette tried next and said, "Rød-flød."

Lars var tavs, stirrede og prøvede, "Rød-død".

Lars was silent, staring and tried, "Rød-død."

De grinede og grinede.

They laughed and laughed.

Så gik de gennem Københavns gader.

Then they walked through the streets of Copenhagen.

Citrontræer, kaffebarer og lille hyggelige huse.

Lemon trees, coffee shops, and cozy little houses.

De gikket i Tivoli, så på dronningens slot og Fristaden Christiania.

They visited Tivoli, saw the Queen's castle, and Christiania.

Alle steder sagde de højt, "rødgrød".

Everywhere they went, they said aloud, "rødgrød".

Med tiden blev de bedre.

With time, they improved.

De sagde ordet lavt, højt, hurtigt, langsomt.

They said the word softly, loudly, quickly, slowly.

De øvede hver dag.

They practiced every day.

De sagde 'rødgrød' så mange gange, at hele København kunne høre det.

They said 'rødgrød' so many times that the whole of Copenhagen could hear it.

Til sidst, en aften på deres yndlings kaffebar, prøvede de igen.

At last, one evening at their favorite coffee shop, they tried again.

Anders sagde det først, "Rødgrød".

Anders said it first, "Rødgrød".

Så Mette, "Rødgrød".

Then Mette, "Rødgrød".

Lars trak vejret dybt og sagde, "Rødgrød".

Lars took a deep breath and said, "Rødgrød".

De havde gjort det!

They had done it!

De kunne sige det svære danske ord!

They could say the difficult Danish word!

Hele kaffebar klappede for dem.

The entire coffee shop applauded for them.

De var glade og stolte.

They were happy and proud.

Nu kunne de sige det danske ord, de har kæmpet med.

Now they could say the Danish word they had struggled with.

Fra den dag blev deres liv i København lidt nemmere.

From that day on, their lives in Copenhagen became a little easier.

De lærte mere og mere.

They learned more and more.

Hjulene på deres cykler rullede nemmere på Københavns brostensbelagte gader.

The wheels of their bikes rolled smoother on Copenhagen's cobblestone streets.

Og hver gang de sagde et svært dansk ord, lyste deres ansigter op med et stort smil.

And every time they said a difficult Danish word, their faces lit up with a big smile.

De havde lært noget nyt.

They had learned something new.

Og i København, var de altid klar til at lære mere.

And in Copenhagen, they were always ready to learn more.

Sådan endte deres eventyr med det svære danske ord.

Men, det var kun begyndelsen på mange flere.

But it was only the beginning of many more.
