The re-introduction thread
Method of Madness:
Yeah, that's fine for visiting but if I live somewhere I feel I should learn the language. Then again, I'd probably pick up enough after a while, so...who knows what the future will bring? If I'm there in eight years when you come back, I'll let you know :roll:
Metope:
Moving somewhere is the best way to learn the language there! And you can get on perfectly without knowing Danish in Denmark, so you could easily move there and not know a word, and then spend your time learning.
Method of Madness:
It wouldn't stop me from finding work?
Metope:
Doubt it, although it might make it a little harder to find something. Depends on your field of work as well, but there are plenty of English speakers working full time in Norway at least, and I bet it's the same for Denmark. Tech work is usually very English-friendly, and lots of international companies in all kinds of fields do everything in English anyway, since that's the language most people in the west have in common.
pwhodges:
When I worked for Norsk Data in the 1980s (at the time it was the second largest company in Norway), the official language in their head office was English. Although the locals naturally spoke Norwegian among themselves, there was no sense that an English speaker was excluded in any way. I've heard similar things more recently about Philips in Holland, so I suppose it's not that uncommon.
