Hi all!

We’re very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we’re set on a place to live for a while.

Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

    Tons of people come to Germany and are shocked when not everyone speaks English.

    It’s funny, I more often seem to read so many stories of people saying “Finally, I can practice my German with someone!”

    And the German is like “I speak English it’s okay.” Lol

      I think it’s exactly those stories that give people a false impression when they come here. It’s not that they are false, most of the time you’ll certainly find people who can speak decent English. A tourist probably won’t need any German, but when it comes to living here long-term, dealing with bureaucracy, finding a job or making friends, knowing German is pretty essential.
