I have the koala picture for everything except this. And I like how we're learning the same languages. Lol
Why did the chicken read the book?
Because it had to study for the eggsams. Eh? Eh? Ok ill see myself out.

They were always sentient. They've become intelligent.

Which is hard to do, since they're nocturnal. They have to wait for a full moon and then binge read. ;)

That chicken is not a common one, it is Darles Chickens, writer of 'The adventures of Oliver Twist'.
hearing the "N" sounds at the end of the words in this sentence is an act of faith

The chickens never learn to read in that story. Which must make it a rather insulting book to them.

They say danish education is free and excellent, maybe they teach their chickens too, why not?

"Kylling" and "kyllingen" sound the same for me, as well as other words with the ending "-en".

You should go watch the Danish movie Men & Chicken (Mænd & Høns). Weird but enlightening!!

I realize that a sentence can be factually untrue and grammatically correct, but bizarre sentences like this one always make me assume I've mistranslated something.

Not only are Danish people smarter, but apparently so are their chickens.

I cannot for the life of me hear the -en at the end of kyllingen, even when listening on slow. sigh

Cute? yes. Helpful in learning the language to have anthropomorphic animals? not really Let's have some more realistic sentences. If the horse can do it, so can the lesson creators.
Actually, I would argue that having wacky sentences is a good way to keep you engaged. The feeling you get when you understand something really weird is a memorable one, so perhaps it helps you remember the words.

I don't get how having a chicken reading a book would be any less helpful from having a human or the name of a person, you'll still be learning what you need to learn. In fact, you're even learning (or reinforcing) the gender of 'chicken' where seems a lot of people are having trouble learning the genders of specific nouns in this language/course.
I agree. Though hopefully it's just for the beta and will be replaced reasonably quickly.
