My Danish family keeps switching to English because I'm too slow
Posted by u/Heritagelearner_967 / May 30, 2026
I'm a heritage learner trying to connect with my relatives in Aarhus, but every time I start a sentence, they switch to English before I can finish. I want to sound natural and stop freezing up. Does anyone have advice on how to steer the conversation back to Danish without feeling rude, or should I just accept that I need more output practice outside of family dinners first?
