I study in Denmark, however I live in Sweden. Yes, I commute everyday to school through the Oresund Bridge. Although I did not have time to study Danish, I do spend time to study Swedish. The more Swedish I learn, the more I understand Danish, since they are in fact very similar, especially in writing.

My host university arranged everything for erasmus students. It was present all year long to check if everything was alright. CBS seemed to care a lot to our comfort.

No difficulties at all as a lot of Danes speak English, but still there were some exceptions e.g. in the supermarket

My English knowledge before my semester abroad was ok. At teh university we have studied "Business English". The problem was that the classes are to big to have enough communication. That was the advantage of studying in Copenhagen. Small classes, discussion groups, and a lot of presentations.
