I thought I heard Min søn leger med til mig
I still don't have a good grip on pronunciation rules for Danish.
"laver mad" i got false previously for writing "cook food", and on this one I have it wrong for writing "makes food". Wtf duo !
Is there a way to recognize the difference in pronounciation between "mad" and "mig"? They sound the same to me when I play the audio slowly.
The vowel sounds are very similar when not stressed but 'mad' still ends in that '-l' sound whereas 'mig' has no final consonant.

Additionally, I would say that "mad" sounds like the English "mel" or "mal", and "mig" sounds like a clipped "my".
Yes, that's how it sounds to me, too. It makes sense - "mad" is a cognate of English "meal" and "mig" is obviously "me".
Really, the soft 'd' in 'mad' is more like a clipped 'l.' Your tongue doesn't touch the roof of your mouth the same way it was with 'l.'
"Mig" sound a little more like "my" only it's shortened, unlike the way Americans drag out its ending.
Difference between "til" and "for"? It is different if you compare danish with english, por example
