Please don't tell me about your spider. (Thank you Danish Team for not including any pictures of spiders in this course!)

Spiders are actually very useful animals. ;-) And I must say, they are really nice here in DK. Some are much bigger then in my homecountry. The only problem, they all want to come indenfor so I have to bring them out all the time. By the way,are there any poisonous spiders in DK? (lille kultur lektion :-) ).
Yes, the European black widow does occur in Denmark, although it's very rare to see one. (I haven't yet.)

Or somebody talking to Wilbur the Pig from 'Charlotte's Web'. Wilbur talked A LOT about Charlotte.

The verb also needs to be changed. Danish distinguishes the active from the imperative.

This is precisely the kind of conversation I aspire to one day have with my friends. At the moment, however, I should probably just focus on getting a friend...

How do you say "foretelling" then in Danish, if fortæller is simply "to tell"?
In English there shouldn't be a "You" in the beginning, does there still need to be a "Du" in Dansk regardless?
What do you mean? The "You" is definitely needed in English, as it is in Danish
