    It's mostly the bragging part of self promotion that Danes dislike and it becomes even worse if it takes the form of 'I did it all by myself' kind of attitude.
    Danes are usually supporting self promotion in situations where new tasks are being discussed and you take on responsibility for moving it along as a spearhead or positions like that. It's mostly about doing things in teams and having a coordinator more than a leader and your success depend on your status in the group in the first place. You don't get credits for a title but for showing your ability to work with the group or team. You have to earn your position and if you start out bragging, you will most likely fail because the team will withhold support and in most cases you can't do it yourself. The reality of the US American saying of "There's no I in team" is more prevalent in Denmark, or perhaps I should say the Nordic countries, than most other places.

    I loved the video. It's hard to make friends in Denmark, but I hope it will be easier in Portugal.

      "Be' om" is not a literal translation of please. It's a polite way of asking for something, so it may be used to express the same sentiment is some cases. But semantically it's used in a different way.

      Thank you so much, Finn! I finished editing last night, and with everything going on, I didn’t realize I had used the wrong logo! I did think the logo looked a bit off but couldn’t figure out why. lol.. I’ve been feeling so tired lately & and now I'm embarrassed to 😅
