English & Danish Families Vocabulary
Leila - December 14th
Learning vocabulary is one of the first steps of learning a second language and I believe that if one knows the words with the highest frequency, they will quickly know most of the words in a text. Let's start with family vocabulary in both English and Danish languages. This post and next posts will be useful to both English and Danish language learners.
