In Denmark almost everybody under 50 speaks English at least in basic manner. So living and studying there was no problem from the language side.

Everybody speaks almost perfect English in Denmark - facilitates easy communication, but then again, hard to really learn any Danish.

It was pretty difficult in the beginning been in a society whose language U did not speak. Almost everyone here does speak english but it did get pretty irritating sometimes when as U spoke english the person spoke danish not because she cannot speak english but does not want to.
