    Foreigners here often say that they face a hard time learning Danish, because as soon as the Danes pick up that they are not fluent, they switch to speaking English.

      I had the same trouble when I moved to Germany. Try to speak Deutsch, nein spreche English. The eastern states were kinder than the western ones. Weimar locals were such kind people compared to Bavarians.

      For sure. Lots of jokes about that and it’s medium true. It depends where you are and what you’re doing but like socially it’s very welcoming to learn and teach

      I think it’s hard because you don’t need to learn it to survive
