Denmark has lots of English speakers, you’d get by pretty well only knowing English and over time you’d pick up some Danish too
And you get invited to free Danish school to learn. Lots of opportunities to learn Danish here, and as a native English (only) speaker it’s not too hard a language to do OK at.
But for sure you can do your day to day in English no problem if your job was in English
Foreigners here often say that they face a hard time learning Danish, because as soon as the Danes pick up that they are not fluent, they switch to speaking English.
For sure. Lots of jokes about that and it’s medium true. It depends where you are and what you’re doing but like socially it’s very welcoming to learn and teach
I think it’s hard because you don’t need to learn it to survive

You’d pick up about 3 words and thus never truly integrate. This is the trouble with foreign countries where literally everyone speaks near-perfect English.
That said, there’s only about 4 such countries. The Netherlands and Scandinavia, basically.
The linked video is a joke about how difficult it is to understand danish accents
Oh, fair enough. I wasn’t in a position where I could watch a fiver so I took the comment at face value

Nordhavn is not a city, though, it’s a district. But IMO it is exactly what is needed. All the basics within 10mins and great culture no more than half an hour away. Lots of Danish cities are like that though. I currently live in Aalborg. When I lived in one of the districts furthest away from the city center I could walk 10mins to everything; supermarkets, barber, pizzerias, a sandwich place, a café, a doctor and a dentist. Primary school, daycare and the like was also within that zone if I needed it. And it is all connected with an intricate bike and walking pathway system
If need be and I wanted to go to the cinema or go to town and drink busses took me there in about half an hour several times an hour, even at night.
I kinda miss it though, but I decided to move to the city center where everything is within 10mins.
Yes yes Denmark is perfect, we get it! To be fair, it’s hardly even an exaggeration. I’ve been to Aalborg and can confirm it’s lovely. A few historic buildings and tons of modern ones including an amazing opera house, nice river setting, everyone walking and cycling. And of course this is Scandinavia so even the people are beautiful and stylish.
BUT! Worst weather in the whole world. Cold and wet for basically the whole year. Feels like a kind of justice! The price of your success.

I think I’ll get my winter depression checked for free by our universal healthcare…
But yeah, otherwise there’s a reason Aalborg is my favourite city in Denmark as you’ve seen yourself.
Got mad about this, then reread the title and saw that it did not in fact say “cats”
