All people in the university can speak the "instruction language"; it was an opportunity to refresh and improve my knowledge on it. I had no interest (and time) on the local language.

I spoke Danish before I arrived. However, all the Danish speak English very well. I took courses both in Danish and English. There weren't any problems with either language.
