Another difficult quirk in the Nordic languages is the fact that the verb comes before the subject.
So the Danes say: Yesterday went I to the store.
This is one of the hardest things to correct.
And can you imagine that in Norway the subject comes at the end of the sentence?
Close the window, yours.

I have also had Spanish and German in school, just so you know.

Here �s a couple:
 
Germans "make" a picture vs "take" a picture
 
a hangover is a tomcat
 
they have "muscle hangovers" (muscle tomcats)
 
glasses and pants are both singular (why are pants plural in English anyway?)
 
no " �s"  for the possessive (the friend of the girlfriend of my brother)
 
in German you "break together" instead of "fall apart"
 
if you are lucky then you "had pig"
