This was beautifully put and really insightful! I'm not Danish (or very close to Denmark, I'm from Portugal) but I do have a Danish best friend, so I'm become quite fascinated by the culture and language (working hard at learning on my own because there's very little sources for Danish learning here 😅) and it's a bit sad to see that they're experiencing a shortage of staff in certain fields but, at the same time, they're also experiencing a rise in people that aren't contributing much to the country. I'm baffled by the "Why should I have to learn Danish?" mindset when people are living in Denmark, I couldn't believe that people like that actually walked around saying that. 😳 Congratulations to you for learning and recognising the areas that you are still struggling with and would like to improve upon, I think that's a mindset that quite a few people (not just in Denmark but everyone) are lacking these days!
Thanks for your comment 😊 well, since almost everyone speaks English and Danish is not an easy language to learn, some people are living with this 'no, thanks, I won't learn danish' mindset. It can be really surprising, but especially in the big cities like Copenhagen, Odense or Aarhus it's pretty much possible to use English most of the time or just say couple of basic phrases. Thank you for appreciating by efforts to actually improve my language skills and shout out to all Danes, who are patiently talking to me and actually provide me an opportunity to become better in Danish. Good luck with the language learning process 👻🌟 maybe you could contact some locale (Danish) language centres in order to find out whether it's possible to join danish courses, despite the fact that you're living in Portugal 🇵🇹 I'm pretty sure there's a solution for your problem 😄
@@dannydelvis I understand the English language being so prevalent that I'm sure, to some degree, people are likely able to get away with never learning it. But, one thing is for certain: it won't make their job searches or chances of staying in the country longterm any higher, I bet 😅 Bless all the Danes willing to answer our (first-time learners of this language) questions, they're the real ones! 😁 Thank you for your tips too, I never even considered that! Maybe if I ask around I might actually be able to find something! 🤞🏻
Hi there 👋 Love your videos and your vibe ✨ I’ve been bingeing them lately because I might have the chance to move to Denmark next year, so I am trying to prepare and make decisions. And knowing how essential the language is, I want to start learning as early as possible. The tone of this video surprised me though, compared to your other ones! I totally get the importance of learning the language, but it’s not enough to just try hard. As non-native speakers, our Danish will *never* be as good as native speakers’ (aside from a small group). So even working our asses off will never be enough. I understand in jobs like nursing, lives are on the line and it’s a different standard. But I do think for other jobs, there should still be some leeway for people who don’t have perfect Danish. Even for the most motivated language learners, it will take years and years to get to a very fluent level. In the meantime, it should still be possible to have a job that fits with your experience and pays you fairly, so you can live a satisfying life and be part of society. If anything, being so so strict will just push people to the edges of society, which is the opposite of what we want if we say “learn the language to be integrated!” These are just some thoughts cause you asked 😆 Obviously I don’t live there yet so I don’t have as much of a say, but I do live in a nearby country already as a non-native speaker, and there’s a lot of the same conversation here! Thanks for the videos 😊
I think the Visa is for three years, so you have three years to learn the language. Yes, 2000 Iranian nurses have been granted Visa. My opinion is, that the best thing is learning the language as fast as possible, It will be beneficial in the end. The older you are, the more difficult it will be. Trials with robots are going to start in 4 hospitals in Jylland and 1 in Germany. So no more Star Wars movies. R2-D2 and C-3PO are working in a hospital in Jylland. Sorry Star Wars fans, but they are needed.
Really enlightening! Thank you! I have a question you might help me with: I am European citizen and i go to danish language lessons pd3.My professional and educational background is in Tourism industry.Do you think that i don't need to be in pd3 because i see that from a point and after it gets really hard! Would it work for me if i downgrade to pd2???
Ufff, you know it really depends on you and your plans for the future. If I were you, I would continue with DU3, which is Danskuddannelse 3 (that will end up with PD3), cause I'm pretty sure you will manage it, I know it can be scary, but in the long term perspective it will give you more. If you are already on module 2 or 3 of DU3, so I believe it's not possible to switch the lvl anymore. DU3 and PD3 are usually for those who are good in English (just like for those, who are familiar with latin alphabet) + have some education like finished high school or bachelor and above. If your point is to get closer to the Danish culture and stay here in the future, so stick to PD3 and DU3. If you just want to pass the test and don't bother yourself that much with stress, so maybe PD2 will be a better option for you. Good luck 😉

Very informative video. Can you make video on Health care specially foreign nurses, how they find job in other cities in Denmark
