Way to do it!

In Germany there is a discussion if you say AdventScalendar or Aventcalenar for decades.

Two ways of getting hate Christmas smell into your apartment. Take one or two needles off the Christmas tree, use a pincet to put them into the flame of a candle, and let them burn. They will "sprinkle" because of the oil in the needles. Take a bit of the peel from an orange. Bend it/squeeze it, in front of the flame of a candle. Tiny droplets will go into the flame, and evaporate. PS: Don't teach your children too early ;)

Im danish so i am very proud

As a Great Dane you should try chocolate from an company called Frellsen

Cant even imagine the jet-lag. Merry Christmas to you and yours

It was an unusual menu for Christmas evening dinner. Most danes eat duck, and pork roast with red cabbage, sugar coated patatos and plenty of gravy etc. I love backed patato, salats and it looke very well made and there can be many reasons people dont prefer the traditional menu.

Welcome to Denmark from a Dane living in Philadelphia,Pa

I know Christmas is a special time of year, but we have short rainy days and dark nights in Skandinavia now. I hope your family can visit you in the summer too. Our countries are much more inviting then.

Beautiful.

Why Sweden. Bad choice 😂

Sadly you weren't able to see the point where the train comes up from an island in the sea, to join the bridge to Sweden!

Glædelig Jul og Godt Nytår 🥳

Velkommen til Danmark -> Welcome to Denmark :)

Awww, I can only imagine how delightful it was for you to see your family again 😅

Great video! Happy to see you got some time with the family! that''s what christmas is all about! spending with the people you care for, and that cares for you! i imagine the plane prices are still quite expensive, as USA is so far away from Europe. I hope they had a good time too and i wish you all a Merry Christmas (a bit late ;) ) and a happy new year!

Hope it was part one. Godt nytår!

Im danish

One thing u gotta be careful abt danish sweets most of the time is the sweetness😂 Ive been to denmark a lot, and some of their sweets can be really really really sweet xD

Flot. Netop udtale er meget svært.

I used to get one with my friends at the bakery practically once every week

Wow this is so interesting. My homeland is named after this saint. My homeland is “Saint Lucia” 🇱🇨 I did not even know Denmark celebrated such.

Most danes can be quiet tough to get in on 😛

When i had to learn english, (i got adhd so dident learn it in school) i watched english movies with danish subs, then english and in the end without ^^

Do you like to sing? Joint a choir. Fx. there is some great gospel choirs in and around Copenhagen. A great way to make new friends.

Good for you :)

Great idea, I never been in to the consumer kind of christmas either, for my family it was all about family time and of course celebrating the spirit and messages of Jesus, have a nice Christmas in my beloved cirty of Copenhagen.

merry christmas to you, i would be your friend, but i think i am to old for you :) 64. Hope you will find joy and happines in Denmark.

I'm happy that you forced yourself into a sitiuation that might not have felt comfortable, i would've chickene'd out for sure. I do believe that life is a journey, and that the best way to experience things, is to let go of the control from time to time, and just go with the flow. say "i actually want to do this" and then follow through with it, and not chicken out. Maybe those 3 new friends, are going to be your new friends for many years to come, maybe 2 will stick, and 1 wont, who knows, but atleast you're brave enough, to chase the friendships and put yourself out there and honestly, forging your own luck, is more accurate than you''d think. You'd gain nothing, if you dont try! great respect for doing what some of us, are too anxious to do ^^

Doing yoga ,,,,, I assume you are on a spiritual path,,,,, If thats true ,,,, a fair amount of loneliness , hard work etc etc could be expected ( only as I see it ,,,) That being said ,,,, open your HEART regardless/unconditionally ,,, despite any circumstances,,,, And you will be walking the path ❤️,,,,,if not allready,,,,

Do you know the yt channel "Travelin' Young"? It's an american family, father, mother, daughter, who moved to Denmark. They have a lot og videos about living in Denmark, and also about their teen daughter's efforts to find her place in Denmark.

As a Dane who has lived most of my life abroad and only had non Danish girlfriends, I can relate quite a lot to your situation. And I think you are doing the right thing, by connecting to some other expats. When you move to a new country, we are all very much in to getting to know everything and everyone. But most locals have spent years forming their own friendship group in the place they live and that can be hard to break into. So my advice is to keep doing what you are doing and you will most likely find that the majority of the Danish friends you will make are Danes who have a foreign partner. And that is great, because you will have much more in common with these people than with Danes who have never really been living internationally.

The dark, long and cold Nordic winthers ARE tough, it's not just a saying. Find the small things, that makes you feel good and relaxed, and share them with your new friends, and make them feel it too. It can be a little american treat, music, smells, theatre-visits, candles...anything that works for you. We can't beat the darkness, we must embrace it, and take it as an invitation to hygge. Long dark winthers created hygge.

You will succeed for sure. Merry Christmas to you 🎁🎄

Good for you!!!! Keep up the good work!!!😊

Very good, you are active in finding friends. Many people lay on the couch waiting for friends, it is not how it works. If you find a really good friend, then don't let him/her down. Here it is normal with friends for life. Second: Never be late, it is very much a friend killer. Should you be late, use the phone, also if it's only 10 minutes. Never late to anything in this country, it is rude. Surprise your husband with gløgg and æbleskiver. Buy finished gløgg and frozen æbleskiver, remember some jam. The recipe for a hyggelig evening. God Jul!

Am excited for you but tread carefully. You don't want toxic energy vampires a few months down the line😅

hindbærsnitter are so ass overrated

Im Danish and i HATE hindbærsnitter 🤮

A small note. If you are speaking Danish and the Dane doesn't understand what you just said, simply repeat it. Don't be discouraged. Sometimes the listener is maybe expecting English from you and when you then speak Danish (with your accent) your Danish does not sound like the English the listener's ear is expecting. So hearing a "What?" og "Hvad?" from the person you speak to isn't necessarily an indication of how well or poor your pronounciation is. There is this "mode switching" that needs to happen on the listener's part. If that makes sense...

Your Danish pronunciation is fantastic but it hurts when you pronounce water as "vaaand". The d at the end tells you that the a should be short and stressed as in "very". 😊 The Glyptoteket has free admission on Tuesdays.

Correction "trying the best Danish pastry"

Im danish and the taste so good

You speak very good danish!

Hope so much you and your family will be happy here and I am also pretty sure you will❤

Have you gotten into the Danish tv series yet they are top notch !

Glædelig jul 🎄🎅

Thats so smart with the empty boxes, i'm used to having the presents under the tree on the 24th only, but having empty ones for the duration of the time, the tree is up, adds so much! It is all the small things, that makes a difference! i'll show my sister this video she'll love it!

I hope we get some snow for the Christmas days this year as it is so beautiful, but it have become more and more a rare event. The misty grey days in December have more or less become the norm.
