I think that for a non native speaker who wants to learn the language Danish, it will be difficult as Danish presents its own challenges. While the grammar does not present too many pitfalls, especially if you are already a seasoned language learner, the pronunciation is a different matter. It is a characteristically guttural language and is usually spoken at speed by the natives. Danish sounds are quite unique as they're often pronounced from the back of the throat. The language has the 'stød' which is a glottal thrust with the tongue represented in writing by the letter 'D'. The 'R' sound in Danish is also very guttural and difficult to get right.
