Thanks for sharing your experience with us. looking forward to seeing more brief details for the PD3 exams as there is very little content available on the internet for non-Europeans. I feel like you are the perfect person to fill this information gap.

[ginapinaloy]

When you learn a language, you understand the culture.

[danglish.coaching]

Thank you! People are always surprised when I tell them I teach Danish pronunciation, and not Danish as a whole (unless requested). As you said, my experience is also that the pronunciation is the biggest issue, and language schools just don’t spend enough time on that. They’ll teach you how to write an academic essay, meanwhile you have to repeat yourself 3 times to be understood by the cashier in Netto 😅

[jeremycline]

Very inspiring, Arun. I'm learning Danish on my own and the pronunciation is killing me.

[Andhakalakaar]

This is very Insightful Arun, great value here for people looking to settle down in Denmark

[rhodaruiz]

Thank so much Arun... I arrived in Denmark two months ago. I am studying danks by myself. I will take in consideration your experience.

[DIPS-jscz]

Very nice video.
Takeaway: focus on enjoying the process and not on the exam. So much easier said than done but it's so important.

[PashaBuba]

Bravo
I’m now following your steps
Only one year left to be able apply for permanent residency

As a Danish native citizen who only know a few expats, but really likes a fresh take on this odd society, I cannot fathom why we discourage people like Arun from living and working here. Most Danes give two shits about whether you speak Danish or English.

If I am not mistaken then For PR not only PD3 but 5 to 6 years full time work record & without GAP required.

spending 3 years to learning Danish is huge investment of time. Geographical wise Denmark is very small country compare to France, Germany, Spain & Italy. All 4 countries are well developed from east to west, north to south & high qualified job are in every corner of those countries. In Denmark high qualified jobs mostly located in Copenhagen so after learning Danish movability remain limited.

Learning German will easily help you to travel & find a work in Germany, Austria & Switzerland.
Learning french will easily help you to travel & find a work in France, Switzerland or Canada, Quebec.
Learning Spanish will easily help you to travel & find a work Spain, South America & many Caribbean countries.

Above all,
The weather is crazy. Every third day it’s raining. Even in summer needed to wear winter clothes. House rent is expensive. For bachelor (single) is impossible to have small appartment with the small salary. Transport is also expensive. The Nordic countries & rest of the European countries are too far from Denmark. Also to travel is expensive. While I was living in Paris on weekends I fly to Barcelona, Vienna, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Budapest, Milan. It was well connected & affordable.

Overall Denmark is glossy & fuzzy.

Hey Arun!I really don't know why people think it's easier if you're an EU citizen.I visited Copenhagen two months ago wanting to explore my options.I have a usable college degree, desirable citizenship and look like any Dane but still met a wall of silence just like everyone else.Most of all I got information and advice mostly from people from India, I guess because they can identify with me and understand how I feel as a foreigner who would like to come to Denmark.Even for EU citizens it is not easy to move to Denmark and the language is really hard.I don't know if I would be ever able to learn it because I really can't make vowels like this.The good thing is that in Denmark literally even cats speak very good English but Danes still want foreigners to speak their wonderful language. 🤠

[silkeran]

You are the first person that mentions loss of motivation. Danish language can be frustrating to master and being able to use English everywhere makes everything worse!

[bharatkumarprajapati]
