Take the opportunity to travel around Scandinavia, it's not too expensive and definitely worth it! Go and see the "fjords" in Norway and don't miss Stockholm (amazing city, great nightlife)!

The Danish learning was not going very well. I did not really choose any intensive local language courses, rather focused on studies of other subjects. As a result, I still cannot speak Danish after 6 months.

Denmark is a really good country to live. People are used to foreigners and you don´t find problems in understanding because averybody speaks English. It is located in an strategic position to travell, you can travell wherever you want because many places are close and there are good prices available to everybody.
