How long have you been in Denmark?
I’ve been Copenhagen since December 2010.
Do you think it will be an easy language to learn?
Not quite sure. As an Italian I can say that Danish sounds really different from Italian, so I’m thinking it may be quite difficult to learn.
Have you started speaking Danish in your everyday life?
Working in a coffee shop, I´m hearing Danish all the time. So I’m picking up basic words and now have started using them, which I know makes the customers smile. Though I am sure my pronunciation is not quite right.
Are you looking forward to going to Danish classes?
Yes, I cannot wait to learn how to pronounce all the strange and funny words! Fingers crossed, I think within six months I will be able to get a really good grasp of the language.
