From The Copenhagen Post -- Foreigners aren't the only ones who have a hard time learning the Danish language. A new study shows that Danish small children are slower than toddlers in other countries at picking up their native language's nuances, reports MetroXpress newspaper.
The study, conducted by the University of Southern Denmark's Centre for Child Language, showed that Danish children on average have a vocabulary of only 80 words at the age of 15 months. Conversely, Swedish children at the same age can handle 130 words, while Croatian toddlers have mastered up to 200.
