The Danes speak realy good English. The Danish tongue is too difficult to learn in 6 months only, especially since the pronounciation can be a lot different from the written version of the word (more so than in other languages, in my humble opinion)

Danish is very dificult to learn. It's a language spoken by only 5 million ppl over the whole world and it's verbal language is quite different from the written language. You should try to have an introductory course though, it's always helpful.

I thought, I'd be accomodated with a family when I first heard, I'd live in a private residence. Unfortunately, I learnt very soon, that I was there because my money was wanted and not the experience of having somebody from abroad in the house.

Everyone speaks English very well in Denmark! The problems are more related to social interactions. At university, as well as when interacting with the authorities (or public services), it is not a problem at all to rely exclusively on English.
