Uuuggghhh. I got this wrong on listening because I STILL can't hear the difference between "kød" and "kødet". Does anyone have any hints??

I didn't hear it at first, but I thought to go to some Danish livestreams whenever I had time so I could train my ears. That worked for me.

Replacing meat with flesh makes the people involved sound so savage. "The children eat flesh."

How would they get any pudding if they didn't eat their meat?

Why does 'the children' not follow the normal pattern? Barn - barnet - bornene?

It's irregular, like too many nouns in many languages are :)
Et barn - Barnet - Børn - Børnene
(singular, definite, plural, plural definite)
I'm still hearing a "j" sound in children and can't distinguish it from "bears. Should there be a j sound or is it a software problem?

I hear no j, maybe it's because you expect an 'o' sound but the 'ø' sound is slightly different.
