Hi

In Denmark we have a long tradition of learning foreign languages. We simply need to as Denmark is a small country and Danish is only spoken by app. 5,000,000 people.

All children must learn two languages: English and German in school from app. age 10 to age 16. Later (in high school) French, Spanish, Russian and some more languages are optional. In high school and university many foreign language books are used.

Besides this the Danish television shows a lot of English/American soaps and films - and a few German, French etc. - and these are shown in the original form with Danish subtitles.

And as you probably know the majority of popular music is in English.

All this means that we have all got a basic training in school in English; and we keep this active be hearing English all the time.

This means that most Danes understand English, many speaks English and many writes English fairly. ;-)
