This novel from 1894 presents the diary of a young woman named Julie. The language reflects the formal tone of the late nineteenth century, which can be challenging for modern learners. You will encounter older spelling conventions and a somewhat sophisticated vocabulary. The sentences are structured with a reflective, introspective rhythm that captures the protagonist's inner thoughts. It is a useful text for those who want to practice reading historical Danish prose and understand the social nuances of that specific era.

Questions about this book

What level of Danish do I need for this book?

The estimate is B2, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.

How long does it take to read?

About 3 h 58 min at a native pace, spread over 101 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
