It was a very good point to speak english for my lecture and in everyday life because, by dint of practising english everyday, you finally come to think and speak naturally in english... moreover I love this language and I would like to live and find a job in an english-speaking country

As I am an english speaker I experienced very few problems in communicating with people. The opportunity to learn the local language as not really a factor in deciding where to study, although I did enrol in danish class which allowed me to learn some basic terms and phrases.
