Great video to get an insight into these three. A few observations: Fred's English seems to be the most heavily accented of the three. I'm pretty impressed with victoria's personality - she always seems interested in what's going on around her, and always positive and smiling. Haakon, on the other hand, is like a poker face most of the time, but I love that scene near the beginning when they are shown their cabins onboard the ship and he goes and takes a look at the tiny bathroom, you can see in his face that he's thinking, "WTF? This is it!?"  By the way, does anyone know which languages all three of them understand other than English? |

I saw this video clip on another thread here and I posted the same question. It seems to me that all three of them speak their own native language and seem to understand each other, although it would seem that Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are not that similar to each other, no  . Can some of the native speakers here on the board solve the mystery?  - pretttyyyyy pleeeeezeeee  |

Yes, they understand each other. IMO it´s not more different than swiss-german and e.g. bavarian-german.

If you listen to the way Haakon is talking to the scientist at the 12 min mark - he's very brusque and rude! Like he's calling the other guy stupid with, "So why do you say you don't know? You DO know!"  Also, why does Haakon have grey eyes in this video? |

By the way, does anyone know which languages all three of them understand other than English?
They speak their respective Scandinavian languages when they are together. With minor adaptions here and there, as well as understanding of the difference in meaning of a few words (example: in Danish raspberries is called hindbær, in Norwegian bringebær and in Swedish hallon), it is really not that difficult for a Scandiavian to understand all three languages. (Exceptions for some more obscure dialects here and there, and people who refuse to understand anything but their own language and English, of course.  It's been a rise in the latter especially with the younger generations.) Other than that, they all have English, but I highly suspect that all three of them also share speaking either French or German. Both languages are taught in school in Norway, and it would depend on what Haakon chose. Frederik has both, and Victoria has a German mother (who knows how much that influenced?) and studied French in France. |

A for you Maxima Brilliant video Frederick... FRederick not floppy Frodo...must have forgotten his MEdiana tablets at home...he comes across as a human being, connected and inter-active.  wow, like wow  Vicky should stop picking her eye-brows every time she is nervous, and let them grow a bit. her Clara bow eyebrows accentuate her Bob Hope chin No comments on Hakon  G  |

Haakon has been reported as not being comfortable with speaking foreign languages, which seems funny given that his English is good and that he went to Berkeley. But self-perception is powerful and I wonder if it has affected his ability to master other languages. I wouldn't be surprised if, like Mary, his high school language studies haven't stayed with him. |

Lots of passive aggression on Vickan´s side...and one can only hope, Haakon knows how to switch the teacher in private off.
The docu is well done, beautifully filmed as most danish docus...but their try to make Freddles like the leader of the project seeming is clashing with leader not getting one straight sentence out. In fact Victoria is sometimes watching him like her mother is watching her father

Where do you get the impression that Vick is passive aggressive, Lena? I'm not seeing that at all. |
