Fortunatley most of the danes spoke English, except may be for the bus driver. Danish is quite difficult to learn in one semester, however I get some insight of Danish after one semester.

Overall

I wish I had known...

Maybe I should have picked a better time within my studies. I think that I went too early (after the 2nd year, without any degree, or pre diploma certificate)

In my opinion:

Most people loved it.

Final comments

Come here in Summer, Copenhagen is a cold and windy city. But it still is one of the most beatiful and cosmopolitan places in Europe: Lots of good Music, extremely beatiful girls and located close to the ocean. The country itself is really small, clean and modern, but travelling to Sweden and Norway gives a lot of new inspirations!

In Denmark almost everybody can speak English, so it does not matter if you cannot speak Danish. However, for keeping a closer relationship with Danish people is better to use danish.
