Dane here.
When I was about 14, my mom sent me to the bank with a lot of cash in an envelope. On the way to the bank I had dropped the envelope without noticing. I looked and looked but couldn't find it. I went home and told my parents. The next day a lady living in our neighborhood had put up posters, saying that she had found some money, and for whoever had lost it, to call her.
My dad called the lady and he explained and she asked some questions to make sure it was my dad's money, when she was sure she let my dad come and pick up the money. After that I was soo grateful and I promised to always be like that lady.
Amazing 😃😲👍🏻
lost my wallet in a taxi here in copenhagen. The driver helped me look for it but with no luck. A YEAR later another cab driver returned it with all its contents after they found it while replacing the seats of the taxi
I also lost my wallet while exiting a taxi on my first day in Denmark. It was mailed back to me with all its content within a couple of days...
I forgot my wallet 5+ times at the grocery/pharmacy, gym ect and it was always either still there or returned to me.
Most times @@Simon39759 when people find wallets and keys, they drop it in the mailboxes and then it gets sorted into trays when the postal service get it in, and it goes to a department at one of the sorting centers and then mailed to people in.
Most I have seen, as a former postal worker, was we had a letter with 9500 US dollars getting ripped open in a sorting machine, so we had to close the machine, call a supervisor, since it was foreign currency and alot, then the cops came, collected all the money counted it, and we put it in a new envelope and sent it onwards to the recipent, since it was under 10k $
As an American watching this, I'm impressed by the fact that people simply choose to get along and wish the best for each other. What a fantastic place! Good luck and best wishes!
Don't believe all you hear and in particular not statistics.
@@humphreygokart2135 A french woman explaining her OWN personal experiences with us Danes is not statistics.
@@humphreygokart2135 You need to stop lying. Debra Kvitkovskyi did not say anything that is related to 'statistics' so you make no sense. You wrote that word, not her. And your comment "Don't believe all you hear" is indeed referring to the video. Because what Debra hears is what is being said in the video! And what is being said in the video is personal experience - not statistics!
So get your facts straight in stead of falsely claiming that I don't know how YT works!
@@humphreygokart2135 Again you bring in something that is NOT related to your previous comment about statistics.
Neither Debra or the video uploader mentions neither statistics or "happiest people in the world" and nobody else mentions anything whatsoever about any myth about the Danes. And there is no consensus here of any kind! It's all in your mind!
You saying something does not make it reality!
And you do not know what other people think or know. Let me educate you: mind readers don't exist, its a magic trick!
Nothing you said here has - again - NO RELATION to your comment with your false claim about statistics. So keep lying to yourself cause nobody else believes in your delusions!
@@humphreygokart2135 Correct. You don't know have to have a proper discussion, and you even admit you're an idiot LOL!
I never said we were the happiest people in the world, you said that! And what is important to a truthful person like me is truth. Even an idiot should be able to figure that out! LOL
And like I said before you saying something don''t make it reality, learn how to read!
So what a proven liar and a self named idiot "tells me" obviously has no value.
And claiming that something that was NOT written to begin with: that Danes are the "happiest people in the world" was the thing that triggered my response - yeah again you make a LOT of sense. You just proved my previous statement, that you are living in your own delusion! :-)
Nice video. I'm a brit living by the bridge in Jutland, so not too far from you. I would say outside of Paris I've always found the French to be the most lovely people. Certainly the things you have said about the Danish and are absolutely spot on. Trust is everything in Denmark, you expect the government to do the right thing, this pandemic is a great example of it, they made tough decisions early for the good of everyone. People wear their masks and social distance because that's what you're meant to do. Nowhere is perfect but I love living here and regret not having come to Denmark many years ago.
As a Dane. Welcome. You're doing five jobs of the Danish tourist bureaus in less than 10 minutes. Must be the amazing bronze hair.
Anyone can do better than the danish system.

That's a first I have gears. I have to remember that one😂
Dont be sorry about your boy singing.. It just means he is comfy, feeling safe and happy.. 🙏🙌
I'm really glad to hear you like Danmark and us Danes 😃👍🏻
we also like people like you, so welcome to our country 🇩🇰
Thank you! 😊
I find that people are also extremely patient here in Denmark. And I love their day care/ sfo system. This was such a pleasant change from how things work in India. This is in addition to what you mentioned of course.
Thank you very much for liking my home country 💙
Yes, if you don't want to spend time with your own children and don't mind putting them in state-run institutions from the age of six months for most of their waking day, and if you don't mind paying for that privilege with the highest income tax in the world, then Denmark is a great place.
You may not have experienced their medical facilities. We have a child who walked for the first time in his life at the age of 7 without needing any support. He went through treatment with the best of doctors and medical infra at Århus Universitet Hospital free of cost. It was covered with all the tax we all pay.
Also, you are not forced to use the day care facility. You can choose to spend time with your children. It is meant for people who work and need that kind of support. Even after paying this kind of money, we cannot be sure that our children will be well taken care of in many parts of the world.
I'm not sure what you are complaining about when you can choose not to send them to day care. There are multiple benefits that the government provides in return for the tax we pay. I am not saying Denmark is perfect. But it has mostly been a great place to live in with kids.
@@7aarthiv Daycare is not formally compulsory in Denmark, but it is in practice after your maternity leave has run out. It's called "frivillig tvang".
I guess if you have to go back to work isn't it better to have a safe place for kids. Because, back in India we only have 3-6 months of paid maternity leave and then we either depend on family or private day care centers that we cannot trust to take care of our kids.
Great video!
Hi! I love this video 🤗..i'm watching from philippines..i have a boyfriend there in Denmark and he trusted me so much 😍...i hope that this pandemic will end so that i can travel there in Denmark with Him...
International love is a beautiful thing. I hope you will be very happy together
I’m impressed by how you pronounce Odense 😍 .. correctly 😄
😄
Well that depends. If you are a true local then you pronounce it without the "d"
@@tarndal Also depends if you're from Denmark... or from Jylland or Odense ;)
@@tarndal Yes, maybe if you were raised i Odense/Fyn as you mention. Others also add the "soft" d :-)
Congratulations for 1k subscriber.
Amazing, i cannot stop watching your videos! you are wonderful,thank u so much
Good video :-) ! I think we Danes start of, by trusting each other, until there's a reason not to. If you loose our trust, you'll never get it back ! BTW! Welcome to Denmark ;-) !
Thank you for your kind words and impressions of our country 😊👍 And for the record, I think you have very good pronunciation! 👏
Thanks a lot!
Denmark usually ranks nr 1 in the least corrupt countries in the world. I guess, that helps the trust part a bit too.
Because the definition of corruption has been completely redefined. No one bats an eye when politicians get free stuff or off the charts rebates. Corruption is interwoven in the very fabric of society. It's just normal. Even lying gets a tiny shrug and a mute "meh".
It's not actual corruption that's meassured, though, as that sort of thing can not really be meassured with any precision (for obvious reasons). What Denmark scores really high (or low, as it were?) in is people impression of politicians or police and other authority figures being corrupt.
This can be a really good thing, because these authority figures view themselves as uncorruptible, so their pride wouldn't allow them to take bribes, but also potentially bad if they actually were corrupt.
What Danes believe in, really believe in, is "frihed under ansvar", meaning "freedom under responsibility" aka; you can have your freedom and we'll trust you to take responsibility for your actions until you prove otherwise.
Our politicians and their benefactors just found loopholes to make the corruption legal.
It's still corruption though.
@@Sigart that's right. As a dane myself it is just natural for me to think that I have to take responsibility for my actions and that it is a part of being free. And I think that a lot of people who doesn't live in Denmark don't now that is what is exspected of you when you are in out country. Or that you can't really be free unless you also take responsibility for your own actions. And of course there are also danes who don't take responsibility for their own actions and are just spouting nonsens like this is a free country and I don't have to take responsibility for anything.
@@mrawesomeDK If something is legal it is per definition not corruption so you are wrong. And we are still the least corrupt country in the world though.
Hi, Margaux. You are such a darling! Thank you for being so positive. Many foreighners mention the confidence between people as one of the most impressive things about Denmark. I'm glad you feel included! I have no idea where it comes from, but it is very gratifying that that's the way it is.
I believe it is a part of our culture (one of the better things about our culture) some might call it naivety or some kind of innocence but I choose to believe it is a way of looking at the world where we trust in the good in people until proven wrong which also happens, we are not a nation of angles, some people do forget to leave the money in the box at the road side when they leave with the strawberries and a good amount of bikes are stolen each year and not all wallets are returned and many of those who are is without the money in them (a fun fact, if you find a wallet, you can drop it in the mailbox and the post office will return it to the owner for free)
Congrats on reaching 1000 and already up to 1.34 (trying to get to 1000 myself)! I thought your video was good all around. Good luck in Denmark and with your UA-cam journey aussi.
Thanks a lot ! 😊
As a native Dane, these are things that I really dont normally think of, but when they're mentioned I am just soooo grateful to be born here.. what a great, great country I am from:-)
I'm glad your son got his citizenship in 20 minutes. I still have to get my residence card since I renewed it back in April 2021 and I have lived here for 11 years already.
Maybe because of the Covid-19 - many/most were sent home because the authorities recommended that solution quite clearly.
Her husband is Danish 🙄
At least years ago we had tables by the road offering vegetables and items, with a box for payment! A visiting French lady named that in France, shortly after, all would be gone! But in Denmark it functions. And in 1983 it was decided to make a common Debit Card for all Danish Banks, named "The Dancard", with no yearly payment. And this is why Danish are the most Card-using people in the world, for the benefit of all, without a lot of money being transported round, but only electronically!
I'll say that your pronunciation of "Janteloven" was pretty much spot on.
I think it's her French accent. Not that it's much, but I think she has an easier time pronouncing Danish words than an American for example because of it.
So was 'Fyn' and 'Odense'! Margaux, you're a gift to Odense and Denmark - both places would be worse off without you! Please keep up the good work! :)
the efficiency still astounds me. I received maybe 4/5 letters by post a year, everything else is online. bank/doctor, whatever, it's all there and super simple.
It's quite funny how it takes a foreigner to teach us how we really are! :-D You are spot on, thanks for the education! 👋🏻
Thank you! 😃
How refreshing and a nice contrast to all the moaning we hear about trivial problems like “I can’t buy xxx here” . That we often hear from expats. Thanks for contributing to what I hope will be a positive spiral.
It can be really hard too, I mean the paperwork, on the the internet.
Living in Denmark, in english, works fine. It gets the work done, but it's not entirely the same.
Nogle er fantastiske til at lære nye sprog på kort tid. Det giver dem en unik oplevelse af verden og nogle af disse mennesker har deres egne kanaler her på UA-cam.
to add on the money boxes thing, if you get to the smaller towns you can sometimes find unmanned stands that sell fruits, jam or vegetables with just a money box and a price list. where you are just expected to put your coins in for the goods you want
So true got a great one near me an old couple growing for fun a little bit for them selves and a lot of thankful people in the neighborhood 🤩
Excellent observations, thx for sharing.
And to a degree the three things are intertwined - trust is the basis, doing business deals does not require so much paperwork and bureaucracy when u trust your business partner does what is agreed upon, and by being good at English - sry to say to a Frenchman but the most universal language - gives Denmark the opportunity to trade worldwide (including welcoming tourists too), which is a necessity for a small country like Denmark to make ends meet.
The Trust-thing is the basis, it is hard to replicate; when u do not have trust it takes generations to build. Especially If distrust and corruption has taken root.
But a first step could be the construction of a welfare system…
As a humble dane (jante loven) Welcome here. Keep it up.
Thank you!
You welcome!
Trust is I think ... the same as it is with respect.
I trust you from the start. But you can easily betray my trust, in qhich case, I don’t trust tou anymore. And you will have to work very hard to earn my trust again.
Same with respect ... I know people usually say: Respect is not a given, it’s earned.
I think it is a given. You have my respect from the start.
But you can in a few steps lose that respect. And then you once again will have to work hard to reearn my respect.
Thank you for the nice comments.
yea its pretty nice here
Thank you for your nice words about the Danes... from a Dane.
Thanks a lot!
Hi Margaux. Thanks for your sales pitch😉. Talking about trust and trustworthiness - Why? - I think it goes way back in time. We are (were) a small homogenous nation. We have developed into a generally caring population, and political system for that matter. We have been used to thinking of, and caring for, each other for several centuries. That has instilled a basic humanity and decency in the majority of danes. A thought example: If I found a wallet in the street with, say, 50.000 kr in cash I would, of course, be tempted to keep them - but I would have to violate my decency for that. My next thought would be: This might be another persons entire life savings - I could potentially ruin someone elses life. I, personally, would find that thought extremely difficult to live with, and it would probably haunt me for many years. I think these are values that are easy to have when you live in a country where few people really are wanting. I feel lucky to live here, and it makes me proud that you apparently feel so well received here. No matter how long ago - A big welcome to Denmark.
Thank you very much for your feedback 😃😊👍🏻
I lost my Louis Vuitton wallet with 300 euros inside one time in the subway in Denmark and it was returned to me with the money inside 💙
Crying in Italian
I love your perspective!
Thanks! 😃
You have to believe in the good in every person I think. It’s a good way to live Margaux.
My wife forgot her purse at a McDonalds near Avignon a few years ago when on holiday in France. We returned about an hour later with little hope of finding it again. But to our surprise and happiness, someone had handed it in, with all the money still inside! We were lucky, I know. But this kind of situation gives you faith in humanity👍😊
Trusting people makes you a better person I believe, even if you do not know them personally. Trust and respect go hand in hand imo.
Thanks for your comment James and yes i think you’re right 😊👍🏻 i need to work on that part though 🙈
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark it will come to you😄 I was exactly the same when I first moved to DK.
Beautiful and smart woman 😏 and being French is a positive.

You can trust all the Danes to give the video a thumbs up ;D
I love finding lost phones and trying to go in detective mode and find who the owner is. :D
Mistede engang min mobil, heldigvis var det før mobilen fik lås på, så de kunne bare ringe til "mor" som stod i telefonbogen.
I like that you mentioned about trust in Denmark.
I remember the last time that I traveled to Denmark, when I walked through the centrum of small towns, I noticed a lot of people who parked their bicycles at varied stands, parked them unlocked. Here in Ontario, Canada almost everyone will lock up their bicycles when shopping or doing some other errands.
Yes same in France 😂 i didn’t know it was like that in Canada too 🇨🇦 😲
as a Dane i only take my carkey out of the ignition when paying Copenhagen a visit :D
@@mnp3713 That is great, especially being able to trust others not to steal in a larger city as well. :)
@@mnp3713 😲😄
Same in Norway.

Love the video. What is the song in the background. Is it “Toiboi- so simple” or a danish song?🇩🇰🇩🇰
I’ve written it in the description box 😊 glad you like it ! 😃
My mom once told me a story
When i was little my mother put me in the car and we started driving Home. (It took like 20 mins she said)And there was a car following us. But She proceeded home. When we got Home the car pulled up behind us and told my mom She had lost her wallet
😲😲😲
I would do the same :) I have Danish ancestry and I was born in South Africa. I wish everyone on Earth would be good to others :)
And reading this, my first thought is: Yes, of course.
I would've done the exact same thing, without any second thoughts.
I think that is a basic Danish thing.
As for speaking English, I went to Provence in 2019 and I found it surprising how much better French people were at speaking English than I had expected. Once, I asked a bartender how to find my way back to the hotel. I had to give up asking him in French - and he was much better at English than I was at French, he he! Thanks for sharing another good video and keep up the good work
Thanks a lot! Yes there are touristic areas in France where french people are more exposed to English like Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur and Paris of course 🙂 the rest of the country is another story🙈 not to ditch my own country , it’s just the truth, Italy is similar in that matter 🙂
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark yah can talk about hov sad it was back in 1985 when i was 5 weeks in a village with the name villandraut around 60-65 kilometers south-east of bordeaux there was no problem to talk english since ther was a big population living there that had emegrated from iereland ,england and scotland but in bordeaux and paris there was many france that would not speak english even when they have studiet english on the university you realy had to force them to do it , sorry for my poor spelling of the france words last time i used france was in 1990

I love your accent
About trust yes we trust people, ofcours not blindly we do keep and eye out to make sure that trust in the start is allright to put in them, but mostly it is if you brake someone's trust, its very hard to regain trust with people, or you in general shown or become known as a untrustworthy person, that person would have to work very hard to regain trust from others again.
Yes we belive in second chances to people, but they have to work hard to get that second chance, show they a willing and want to have a second chance, you do not get a second chance without effort and hardwork, and prove you changed.
Yes very true! 🙂
The "jante loven" is a social satiric piece of poetry, none takes it too serious!!!!
Like all good satire it presents a truth that certainly can be taken seriously.
What I wonder though, is why I often see foreign people talking about janteloven as a good thing. I am not sure Aksel Sandemose intended it that way at all.
Cool you live in Odense ☺️ Maybe I will move back to Odense some day 🙂
I really love this city ! 😍👍🏻😊
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark Me too ❤️ I moved away from Odense because of my job.
I really miss the cafés in the city. But may I will visit some of them in the summer ☺️ My favorite nice lives in Sanderum and my sister 25 km from Odense 🙂
@@MrChilidogdk 😃😃😃
Yeah I once found a big wallet on a bus, with cards and a big pile of cash (800€). I immediately returned it to the nearest police station. There was some kind of finders fee, which I declined.
Took me 4 months to get a french pedigree for my puppy (born in france), so yes, france is behind in digitilizing.
You could try danish smørrebrød and compare french food with danish :)
Yes good idea !😃 ps: i love smørrebrød 😋
He he, we Danes love it when foreigners say nice things about us. Personally I find it more enlightening when you talk about things you find weird about Danish society. We are certainly the best in most matters, but there must be things we can do better.
"Modesty" must be one of them.

Yep ve have a long history of Democracy in in Denmark, thpugh its important to understand, that Demokrats in the US is, compared to the far out rigth ving in Denmark,

Janteloven was pronounced like a Dane.
And probably misunderstood like a Dane as well.
4:40 in my country (Iran) specially in northwest where Azerbaycani turkish people are living finding a wallet or anything is a responsibility and returning it is very normal thing!
I am shocked why is some places it is strange to return something that isn't yours!
The first row of Jantelagen is "don't think you're better than me".
I was Born in Denmark 80 years ago,but moved away 55 years ago,but am I ever proud of my Danish origen,we dont go to church very often,but do we ever follow the 10 commandments.
They trust the system to do the best for them, because it does
I am danish. You are wright about trust, but stilll I was very surprised, when some years ago I was shopping food in the supermarket and when I was about to pay, I had forgotten my wallet. The supermarket was about to close, and I had no food at home. A lady standing behind me offered to pay for my grocery an told me to take the grosery, go home and then she would meet me later and get the money! It was almost 400 kroner. I told her, that she could trust me. "I know" she said and I left with the grocery, she had just payed for. 15 minutes after we met. She got the money and a bottle of wine to show my gratitute. I promised myself to do the same, should I ever met someone in the same situation.
My brother, who has been living abroad for more than 30 years, is very astonished, when sometimes he can walk away with some expensive things from a store and be trusted to transfer money later. It would never happen elsewhere he says, and I belive he is wright.
It’s incredible 😲😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Odense wow i live in Bogense how small the world is :D
I am Danish.
my rule of thumb regarding finding a wallet is, if there are something identifying ID and such, I will call the person, so I can return it. if there isn't, I will take the money and probably keep the wallet.
You should deliver it at the hittegodskontor if you can't identify the person.
@@Bronzescorpion the majority of the time things like that end up either getting thrown out or sold on auction

Not as many as 20 years ago. But we still get the local paper and a good stack of paperads well above an inch thick pr week if we dont cancel. Xmastime is easy dbl that

Can you tell me why any foreign language spoken on tv or radio in France is dubbed into french ? At least on tv, why not use subtitles ? The same thing is done in Germany .
I have no idea why! Everything is translated in France so french people are rarely exposed to English! Even at the movie theater, it is hard to find original versions with subtitles 🤷🏼♀️🙈 yes it would be great to leave things in the original language and put french subtitles 😊
Well personally I wouldn't be too disappointed about frenchmen speaking English as French in itself is a "main language." It's much more probable for a person you meet somewhere in the world to speak at least a little French rather than a little Danish.
Thanks for your comment 😃👍🏻 i see your point 😊
I would say that French people are good at language as well. They all speak French, and that is a language that has eluded me.
That’s a nice way to look at it ! 😃👍🏻
Then you know why we are the happiest country in the world
I have to disagree with you on that citizenship. My dad had lived in Denmark for about 40 years, and being a british citizen he had to go through about 10 steps getting approved for that danish citizenship, and it took a total time of 2 years being approved, and getting that final piece of paper. Even though he is a danish/english teacher and mastered the exam to perfection, and did all the crazy things they wanted.
I think the process of automatically approving children under the parents passport, is a lot easier and that is the exception to the rule. Getting a danish citizenship for a grown up person is a really really tough process for most people. (So I have heard)
Yes its hard to get citizenship when none of your parents are danish. But for her son very easy since the father is danish. Thats the diffenrence between your dad and her son`s situation. So cant really compare. 🙂
I wanted to know, since you mentioned trust, if the husband flirts with other women, specially when they are beautiful. Is the wife accepting of love affairs or not. Thanks
Im no expert but what i noticed is danish men are not very flirting , so flirting with women i dont think so.. love affairs on the other hand exist everywhere but i dont know how much in Denmark 🤔
And i dont think danish women would be accepting either 🤔 but again no expert here so 😄
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark
Of course love affairs happen here in Denmark. We are only human :)
But also very long relationships are common here.
I think that also relates to the trust issue.
Many relationships break up because there is mistrust within the relationship. But because we de trust each other, that factor is relatively low. On the other hand, when the trust is then broken, it hits a lot harder than if you "expected it to happen eventually".
Fun fact: we have a term called "sølvbryllupskvarter". That's a residential area, where the residents are around 50-60 years old, with grown up kids who have moved out, and the residents are around the age where they celebrate their 25-year wedding anniversary.

Okay but like the danish ascent is so boring exactly when people talk English haha hope you like it here

Hi! Do you know how to speak danish? 🌸
Hi Freja! I am learning danish yes but i understand better than i speak , im far from fluent but i want to be eventually 😊
English is a Danish invention.
@To Ny That is a historical fakt. First the Anglons ( a Danish tribe ) and then the Vikings.
If you're French how come the etat unis accent?
Because i mostly learned it through watching american movies & shows 🙂
Janteloven is a worldwide concept of mindset. People in Denmark wrongly think its a Danish thing only, but the only thing that is Danish about it is, that we have given it a name
I have read that it’s more of a rule followed in Scandinavia not just Denmark (even though the writer’s story takes place in a danish town)🙂 what do you think? 🤔Worldwide mindset though? Im not sure about that 🧐😄
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark You find this "phenomenom" in people all over the world, maybe not so much in 3rd world USA though :D But people with skills and succes are mostly humble in a way, cause they know they could not be succesfull withouth the help from others. In Denmark I find this being used a lot with people who tried and failed as an excuse for them failing. Specially when failing it is easier to find excuses rather than doing some soul searching to figure out why and where it went wrong. Protecting their own pride during failure.

So you think we're backwards farmers in Odense? he he...
Not at all!!! 😄🙈
A question. As a french native speaking, why are you speaking english on your videos? Why not just keep speaking french.
"Prince" Henrik - prinsgemalen Henrik, kept talking french, even thou he lived in Denmark. You are speaking better Danish, then he ever did.
Thanks for your feedback! I guess english to me is like a universal language that most people understand so because my french audience is very small , i think less people would bother watching if they have to read the subtitles through the whole video, i hope that makes sense 🙂
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark I’m so glad you choose English! That way everyone can understand it
English people trying to talk danish: I Kobenhavawen det er virkeelit nermt at fo nyie vener
Me trying to talk english: yeah don’t even try to talk danish if you’re English talk English we fully understand you.
I think you mistook trust for ignorance. We are very ignorant people in Denmark, we do not peak into others lives, or ask questions, we just go make chaos and cry when people get exposed for doing bad things, we love to leave each other alone.
We do have more trust than any other country, definitly but its ignorance more than anything else.
I'd say some of the stuff is going downhill in terms of how it used to be
Which part? 🤔
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark Trust especially in the government(s) and the corruption part.
@@blueeyedpunk ok i see, that’s a shame .. 🙁
@@KurtFrederiksen Well the odd thing is there have been talking about a decline by different institutes. Remember corruption or nepotism in Denmark is just called vennetjenester😉.
Arrêtez de cracher sur la France, vous vous rendez pas compte que pour chaque compliment pour le Danemark, vous descendez la France. Du calme, de l estimé de soi. Y a que les français pour agir ainsi. la France est un pays magnifique, bien plus intéressant que le Danemark par ailleurs, mais ça c un autre sujet.. et les danois ne vous aimeraient pas plus si vous dénigrez votre pays…..
Y a que les français pour prendre la mouche comme ça… je ne crache pas sur mon pays regardez mes autres vidéos pour preuve … les deux points sur la France concernant la paperasse et la langue anglaise c’est tout simplement la vérité… il y a pleins de merveilleuses choses en France aussi , comme tout pays il y a des + et des - 🤷🏼♀️
Et bim vous descendez le Danemark aussi , ça n’a aucun sens 😂
Au fait , la langue de Molière est merveilleuse quand on sait l’écrire 😉
Bonne journée !!
Copenhageners are the worst at English 😁 Unlike Jutlanders and Fynbos, who can (for the most part) speak the language without accent.
1. If you think the Danish Justice Dep. are efficient in handing out citizenships, you will be really impressed to learn how extremely good they are at rejecting and terminating them too.
2. Yes, Danes are good at English but unfortunately they have given up completely on pronouncing their own language.
3. The confidence you mention is not particularly Danish, you will find it everywhere in the Nordic region.
Biggest problem with Danish society: It has deliberately been made impossible to support a family on a single income. Should be made a human right - for the sake of the children.
