Rowing to “England”

February 7, 2024December 13, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

Noah introduces Ursula to her first task as a Viking: rowing. She sits sideways on the seat of his fancy new rowing machine, scowling with her arms crossed as he explains: "Alright young Viking apprentice, before you can raid, you gotta row." Ursula asks, "Ugh... how long do I have to row? 5 minutes?" Noah smiles and tells her, "Denmark to England is 360 miles." Furious, Ursula snarls, "What?!? I'm telling Granny Thorsen!" Without missing a beat, Noah tells Ursula, "Sure thing! Denmark to Florida is 5100 miles."

 

Hmm… suddenly Ursula doesn’t seem so eager to get to “England” to raid.

Noah tells Ursula, "Alright, little Viking, now you need to learn to communicate with your fellow Vikings. That means Danish immersion. Take it away, Ma." Granny Thorsen speaks to Ursula in Danish, saying, "Er du kommet til England endnu?" (translation: Did you get to England yet?, referencing the rowing). Ursula tells Granny Thorsen, "It's OK, Granny. Daddy left, you can talk normal." To Ursula's dismay, Granny Thorsen continues to speak in Danish: "Nej, du skal lære vores sprog. Dansk er det største af de skandinaviske sprog, trods hvad nordmændene hævder." (translation: No, you need to learn our language. Danish is the greatest of the Scandinavian languages, no matter what the Norwegians say.) Ursula says, "I don't understand a word you said, Granny!" Granny Thorsen replies, "Du vil forstå med tiden. Nu, på dansk kalder du mig 'Farmor'..." (translation: You'll understand in time. Now, in Danish you call me 'Father's mother'....)Danish Immersion
