What Are You Doing in Denmark?

93 | PD2, PD3, and WTF — Do You Really Have to Learn Danish?


Listen Later

In this episode, you'll learn all about the complicated world of learning Danish as a foreigner in Denmark with an update from Conrad, who’s currently prepping for the PD3 exam, and Mike, who recently passed PD2.

Derek explains what the difference is between the two tests (and why it matters), which one you need for permanent residency or citizenship, and whether those government-sponsored language courses are actually worth it.

We also get into the emotional rollercoaster of trying to snakke dansk—the awkward café orders, the sudden language-switching, and the eternal question: will I ever feel confident speaking this language?

Whether you're in the middle of Danish Module 3 or just wondering if you can get away with saying tak and smiling a lot, this one’s for you.

Even Danes get some honest advice on how to help and not hurt their friends and family in the process of learning Danish.
