I don't think it's rude to fit into the typical dumb American stereotype. I just feel like the dumb American stereotype if I don't at least TRY to sound right. Plus they make fun of you in front of you if you don't try.
When you go to a non English speaking country, do they all adopt American accepts when saying your name or other English words?
No, because they know its silly.

Choose from English to Danish. Enter Copenhage (yes without the n, not sure why but when I enter the n, the suggestion is wrong). It should then suggest København. There's an option to hear it.
That worked perfectly, thank you. I like the sound of it. I am a language person (I teach Spanish) so I am always interested in hearing different ones.
Interesting, I knew you're a teacher but not Spanish. If you're interested google has a translate app. It works pretty well.
Danish is difficult to speak because we don't say what we write, like English some letters can give very different sounds
I have used that app before. Well, my students complain about Spanish being so hard and it is pretty phonetic. I can't imagine teaching them Danish then! :)
