First Few Days in Copenhagen
The first few days here in Copenhagen have been really nice. Even the weather was nice so far. The danish language course started thursday, and so far I can tell you: The danish pronunciation will take some time to getting used to. Here, a few examples (with some magic from google):
Hvad hedder du? (what’s your name?) - listen Jeg er fra østrig. (I am from austria.) - listen Jeg kan selvfølgelig tale tysk og engelsk. (I can of course speak german and english.) - listen In the real world, words slide into each other even more, which makes the some times a little indistinguishable and hard to understand.
I’ve already seen a great deal of Copenhagen, even the little Mermaid, which is a little underwhelming but the place around it is crowded with mostly asian tourists frantically taking pictures of it. I more and more come to understand why the it looses its head once in a while. (–> wikipedia)
I also took a few pictures, but I have to find a decent place to develop them first, so it may take a few more days until I can show you some. This weekend I might visit a few museums, explore the city some more, and maybe hit one or another students party somewhere.
