It's now a beautiful fall day in Minneapolis, and strangely it feels like summer. If you've never been I would highly encourage August/September as the months to book. As the season wanes and thoughts of changes swirl in my head, I'm reminded that it's getting deeper into my second year of Danish study.
Of note, the Danish program at the university here suffered a loss when our able and influential professor had to leave the country due to financial squabbles between the school and… Continue

Since I became enamored with Denmark, I always knew that having the language in hand would be the key to my enjoyment and success. Almost without thinking I pursued a deeper knowledge of the vagaries of pronunciation, and the stickier points that have bedeviled those who came before. The endeavor began somewhat slowly and with great difficulty, not the least reason being the limited resources available to those to taler Dansk right away. I have a feeling it might be a shade easier for a Brit to… Continue

The online version of BT, a Danish daily paper, brought late January a TV interview with the departing US Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark James Cain. Mr Cain thinks that Denmark is 50-70 years in behind on integrating foreigners and that "it is very hard for a foreigner to feel at home and welcome in Denmark". Do you expats agree or disagree and what can we as Danes do to make you feel more welcome?
A low crime rate, a good balance between working life and private life, and a bus driver who wakes you up if you are asleep when you reach your destination. These are some of the things foreigners can expect, if they move to Denmark to work. The Danish labour market needs foreign labour, so there are great opportunities to build a career.
