It is not only the 15 km long\u00a0\u00d6resundsbron<\/a> (\u00d6resund bridge) that connects Denmark with Sweden, but several hundereds of years of common history as well. However, the most important link between the two countries is the language. Thousand of Swedes and Danes working on the other side of the sea and commuting is not a problem anymore. On both sides of the Kattegatt you can find a town called \u00d6resund\/\u00d8resund. A trip by trian takes approximately 35 minutes. If you intend staying in Copenhagen a longer period and don\u00b4t want to use English you can use my survival-lexicon. Please don\u00b4t get upset if you don\u00b4t understand a single word at first. Repeticio est magistra vitae! Ask the danes to speak slowly. They are quite good at talking Danish with Swedes or Norwegians on a baby-level. If you are a Swedish speaking person you usually understand about 60-70% of Danish. So you\u00a0will need to learn the differences. Written\u00a0Danish is not a problem at all. The most important thing is the numbers. If you want to avoid to using all your 100 DKK-bills and travel home with a lot of coins, do make\u00a0an effort to learn them. By learning it you will be considered as competent and\u00a0skilled language user. Please prove them wrong that we do understand Danish!\u00a0To be able to see through the system\u00a0you just have to\u00a0learn that the first\u00a020 numbers are like in Swedish, then they use the German system (for example 5 and 20= 25) up to\u00a049 and\u00a0then a combination of\u00a0 the\u00a0French&German system up to\u00a099. Please note that from 50 it is 20-based counting system. Not 10-based as in most Inodeuropean languages.\u00a0\u00a0Well, the tric is to learn them by heart and just don\u00b4t care about\u00a0what they are called because\u00a090 is actually called halvfems<\/em>. But if you are very interested in the Danish system….Find an Englsih explanation here<\/a><\/p>\n
