 Although English is spoken widely and fluently across the country but frankly I think, if you wish to adapt to the society, you have to learn the language.  I took 1½ years to complete the whole course (5 modules altogether) and it feel great to be able to communicate in their language.  Programs usually last up to 3 years and are free of charge.  I took mine at Hellerup Sprogskole.

They say Danish is one of the hardest Scandinavian languages to learn because of its speaking patterns and yes, it is a distinct reality.  It is also flatter and more monotonous than English. The Danish alphabet has 29 letters with the basic 26-letter Latin alphabet plus the three additional letters Æ, Ø, Å.

Danish pronunciation is impossible to learn from a book so the best way is to enroll for the course.  It is easier to read it than to speak it.

Learning any new language can be an uphill struggle but hey...nothing is impossible.  Trust me! A language is a means of communication.  Put aside all those negative feelings; embarrassment, hesitation, etc and you have to actually use the language in its natural context. That's what I have been doing.  Speak speak speak.

To speak a language you have to actually speak it!!!
