I’ve lived here 20 years, speak Danish all day every day and never once thought it was like having hot potatoes in my/your mouth.

My ears work properly though. Hence the ‘your’ in my comment.

Danes just like to hear that their language is difficult to learn. So I tell them it is.

I don't. I tell them it's quite easy if you have a good English basis :p

It comes from the fact Danes tend to be rather mumbly. I find that immigrants generally enunciate their words way better, and that the dialectic tides in general are turning. But it's not an entirely unfair stereotype. I'm Danish, born and raised, and I frequently struggle to understand what they say in Danish films and TV (especially from the 90s and 00s) without subtitles just because they mumble to damn much.
