Language
Danish is hard to pronounce and easy to skip: almost everyone under 70 speaks fluent English, and signs at stations and airports are bilingual. A 'tak' (thanks) and 'hej' (hi) are appreciated; anything more is a bonus.
- Swedes and Norwegians can read Danish; spoken Danish is harder for them than the other way round.
- German is widely understood in southern Jutland.
