© expat kobenhavn - café loundromat
it's 2009 and some expats may think that language is not as important as it was ages ago. especially when everybody speaks english nowadays. well, it might be true, when you see people like in that scenery sitting in front of their computer in a café in norrebro. but since we like to communicate and interact (and also want to study or work there) knowing the language is essential!
today we will have our first language lesson here in vienna! it was quite hard to find a proper danish course because skandinavian languages are not that popular here around the alps. and although danish is not a difficult language, it's very hard to pronounce or to understand, but i guess with a viennese accent you're better equipped for talking dansk, as they also speak very softly and swallow half of the word :-)
so after some browsing the net we found, that like every country, the danes have a cultural forum here in vienna. and luckily they offer danish courses! the forum is a cosy place in the 3rd district and our teacher is very nice. along with 3 other girls (all with danish boyfriends *g*) we hope to brush up our at the moment pretty non-existent danish, so that we can properly order our 7-euro tuborg in summer :-)
tak skal du have og god aften! and last but not least: hej hej! and see you soon.
