From what I've heard of Norwegian, to my English ear it sounds very similar to Swedish, even though a Norwegian would not think so.  But to my English ear Danish sounds rather different from either Swedish or Norwegian, even though Danish and Norwegian are more closely related to each other than is Swedish to Norwegian.
