Personal comments

In Language and communication, I hadn't any problem because danish people speak english fluently, and they don't have problem to interact with you in it. I try to learn danish to buy some things at supermarket, some adresses or days of the week and numbers. But It is not necessary to speak danish to live in Denmark , in fact, there are a lot of foreign people there.
