It fun to hear the other side of how we precive each others... as you say: For alot of Americans, Danes can seem offstandish. For alot of Danes, Americans seems superficial. And that culture difference can be a big shock, to the other party
About the topic of learning Danish as a foreigner in Denmark, I have to say that as long as Danes get a feeling that you are really putting in an effort at learning Danish, they will accept you fairly quickly. It is true that it is technically not an issue to get by in Denmark speaking English but it is also true that it will become sort of a barrier after some time if no effort is made by the foreigner living in Denmark at at least trying to learn Danish.
44 years since we came to live in Denmark. I was 6 years old. One day at school I wasn´t paying attention in class and my teacher aproached me and asked what I was thinking about and I answered that in Argentina the sun always shines. We came as chilean refugees, but spended 4 years in Argentina before being invited to Denmark. I´m now 50 and still not fond of the short and dark days of winter :D
Kære Joshua og Miranda! Hjertelig tillykke med de første fem år i Danmark. Jeg håber det er jeres blivende hjem, hvor har i gjort det flot. Jeres rejseberetning på RUclips er og har været helt fantastisk, navnlig når man har fulgt jer siden kanalen kun havde få hundrede følgere. Tak for at I har turer dele jeres oplevelser på denne måde.❤
Mange venlige hilsener Jean Ricard.
Dear. Miranda, I love your way of describing Danes as M.and M’s even though at first my thought was that we had the shell outside and was nuts inside. 😉 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really like your idea of live-streaming a lot more,but I don’t know if every week would work for you , that’s a tight schedule to uphold . But go for it and see how it develops.
Thanks for yet another great video.
Oh I was thinking (perhaps I said this wrong in the video) every other week to start and depending how that goes maybe shift to once a month. But the idea is to build a program where we talk and debate a subject live with inputs from viewers on the chat to interact more real time. We’d also have segments like try it on Tuesday to give us a slight break and general discussion about the events of the previous weeks. Still working on the format but it definitely wouldn’t be weekly :).
I think the reason you also hear Danes (especially older ones) complaining about the weather in Denmark is, that it has changed a lot over the last few decades due to global warming.
Winters before: cold with frequent snow, ground snow-covered for long periods at a time.
Winters now: 2-10 degrees Celsius, windy, foggy/moist/soggy, gloomy, less than 5 days of any kind of snowfall per year, and mostly melts within a couple of hours. Snow on ground provides light (reflection), no snow means everything is darker.
Summers before: occasional heatwaves, but weather was generally quite stable, meaning that a sunny day meant a sunny day. There were raindy days too, of course, but many nice summer days.
Summers now: generally very unstable, with heavy showers almost daily, interrupting periods of sunshine. You can't just go somewhere, knowing that the weather will remain dry. Also tends to be very windy.
I miss the beautiful winter landscapes, as well as the nice all-day sunny days.
We are now in the best part of the year in Denmark. The weather the next two months is going to be very special. April and particularly May is the very best time to be here. Enjoy it.
Stort tillykke med de fem år i DK, folk som jer beriger vores land og gør vores arbejdspladser bedre og mere spændende. Tak for at bidrage til vores samfund her og igennem jeres RUclips kanal ❤️🙏.
God Påske 🐣🐣🐣🐣
I får kommentaren på dansk så I kan få det statsborgerskab ordnet 💪
Congrats on the 5 year anniversary and your new house 🎉🥂🍾 😊
I moved to the US when I was 21 yo and my impression of Americans then were not so much outgoing but more superficial.
They were initially easy to talk to but impossible to get close with. This was in regards to women, since I had a boyfriend and the only guys I had a chance to get to know were those who asked me out.
I remember the frustration of not being able to go from pleasant superficial chatter to becoming real friends who can share more personal things and go visit each other at home.
Today I feel that Americans are very outgoingly friendly but actually more reserved and guarded than Danes when it comes to truly opening up to new people.
I guess there’s a lot of small nuances in tone of voice, mimic, choice of words, topic, unspoken social norms, etc. that guides us in the meeting with others, so that it will always feel easier and more comfortable when meeting/engaging with strangers who shares the same cultural background 😊
I love visiting the US and I find Americans to be very friendly, generally helpful and charming people, and had I stayed I’m sure I would eventually have been able to crack the code of how to weasel my way into their hearts 😂
After all we are all just humans with more or less the same needs and desires 😁
I have spoken with Chat GPT for a while now and have s plus subscription. I use it to help me program a website (just for fun) and I am learning a lot. Every time I stumble upon a concept I don't know, I just ask it to explain it. It means that I don't get stuck in these dead in the water periods anymore. So that is cool. And then I use it for inspiration. As a tabletop roleplayer I often have to make a lot of description for locations and characters. GPT is great for this; while I don't use its output directly, is is great for getting started. The latest thing I tried was "Describe 10 passengers who would be riding on the Orient Express in the year 1891" and it gave me a great ensemble to start working with.
Big mouthful, guys! 😮
No specific questions, you get around the whole spectrum very well 😅
Amusing to hear your FB comments from years back..and great to hear that you are settling in, so well
God påske 🐣🐇, Miranda & Josh (selvfølgelig også Maya 😉)
hello from Hundested 🌸
Maybe we are reserved, but we still care a lot about you guys, and to see you and follow how you develop and settle here in Denmark, and we always hope for the best for you. 😉
Happy 5 years anniversary! And I love Miranda's M&M's comparison 😂
Tillykke med jeres første 5 år i Danmark 🇩🇰 Tak for jeres skønne videoer her på RUclips 😊
Happy Anniversary. I think it is amazing how well you all three have adapted to Danish society. For instance, I know Danes that are still struggling with MitID and other stuff.
Thanks!
As a Dane I have one piece of advice for you: get a sunlight lamp. Those long, dark winter months are really tough to get through, even for the natives. There’s a reason the Scandinavian countries have relatively high suicide rates despite our general happiness.
TY, as always, Danes!
Tillykke med de første 5 år. Det er spændene at følge jeres livs rejse samt jeres rejser rundt omkring i Danmark
My light therapy lamp. Is extremely vital for my wellbeing every winter.
I don’t know what I would do without it. So it’s definitely a human thing.
I’m born here, and I have never gotten used to it 😁
I do wonder now that we have abandoned winter/summer time. If it’s going to help me.
Congratz,,, we had fun, and hopefully will in the future.. keep it up
Talking to a dane is like getting ketchup out of a botle.
First you get nothing, and then ... you get to much.
Ha! That is a great way to describe it.
This is funny!! And true… 😂
So true 😂😂
LOL a while back I was playing with ChatGPT and being a Dane living in the US here was my question and the answer I got back :D
Q: As the expert I would like a short but funny fact telling story about Denmark, what is unique and what is the most fun about the country and the people there
ChatGPT Answer:
Did you know that Denmark has a tradition called "Kagemand"? It's a cake shaped like a man, typically decorated with frosting and candy, and served at children's birthday parties.
But what's really funny about this tradition is that it's not uncommon for adults to also request a Kagemand for their birthdays! It's become a bit of a running joke that no matter how old you are, you're never too old for a Kagemand.
And when it comes to the people of Denmark, they have a reputation for being some of the happiest in the world. Maybe it's because they have access to free healthcare and education, or maybe it's because they enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like cozying up with a good book and some hot chocolate.
Whatever the reason, the Danes have truly mastered the art of hygge, a concept that roughly translates to "coziness" or "contentment." So if you're ever feeling down, just remember that a slice of Kagemand and some hygge might be just what you need to lift your spirits!
----------------------------------
Then to make it even more fun I had an AI generated video telling this story... LOL now I was laughing so hard... it's the same as if I have CarPlay read my danish text in the car... LOL... this IA tools do not speak Danish :D

Congratz on year 5 in Denmark. We are happy to have you. :) Miranda, you are probably like me, and a lot of other Danes. I call it social introvert. In English it sounds wrong though. I am an Introvert. I can have fun all by my self for a week and not miss seeing anyone. But then when I am at a social gathering (where i feel comfortable) I am very social and will talk about anything, for a very long time, if allowed. So both social and introvert. Happy Easter.
Happy Easter 🐇🐣
It would be really interesting hearing more about "all" your little linguistic discoveries, when you start noticing the many deep similarties between the basic vocabularies of our two related Germanic languages ( i.e. loads of very similar basic cognate words that are often just some simple sound shifts apart at the most ) as well as between their basic grammatical structures, which combined makes English a fairly easy language to learn for Danes ( and for the other Scandinavians with their two very similar languages ) - as if we already by magic "know" half of a basic older Pseudo English in advance and then "just" have to fill in the gaps and climb a few hurdles here and there like the peculiar use of "do" and the use of "-ing" with verb tenses etc.
God påske Youngs. :)
Sometimes I wish I could reach through the screen and hug somebody....Like give Josh a bear hug imagine that! You guys are awesome!
Tillykke med de første 5 år, håber de næste mange år, bliver ligeså gode og sjove. 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰😄
God påske to all of you. Regarding the live streams: I haven't been interacting during those streams yet, but I think it could be interesting to do so.
I just saw you thursday in the airport. Looking forward to where you were travelling to.
Porto, it was fantastic! I hope you had a nice Easter break also.
Tillykke med de 5 år! Mega nice. Jeg bor her nu i 32 år 😂 Det er lækkert her.
Tak!
Tak!
Well done, Miranda! Danish is hard to learn, but worth it in the Long run. You can stay here forever 😊
Tks for update, you beautifull people. 5 years in Denmark Wheeeee Have a beer or two on me. Being a dane, i havent got any questions I think, but i will be looking forward to some livesessions after easter. You deserve a brake. Greetings and all the best ! :-) And wait a minute. Maybe a question anyway. Just like you we are rather me are so much into music and concerts. What would be your 5 or 10 top tunes to listen to (maybe with youtubelinks ?) And i mean "american music" or english spoken. I properbly couldent. Maybe i could narrow it down to 25 :-) but give it ago !
From your answer i could send you some danish bands or artists you should give a go, if you havent heard them all ready. All for now. Have a nice one folks 🙂
Congrats on your five years in DK! Hope you’ll hang around for a lot more!
As for ChatGPT questions: Ask it if it know the OS from the movie “Her” - and if ‘yes’ - if I can get her number...
"god påske" flot Miranda 👍
May I recommend speaking Danish for half an hour a day. it really helps a lot
Loved the video. I would love to hear if your hobbies have changed since going to Denmark. Do you knit go to spa’s etc …❤What do Danish people do in there down time. ….❤
It *is* a useful rule that verbs change from the infinitive to the present tense by adding an -r, because it has very few exceptions. Bear in mind, though, that Danish does not distinguish between the progressive present ('is' + -ing in the 3rd person singular) and the simple present (-s in the 3rd person singular), so -r corresponds to both, and historically, it is the same thing as the English -s.
The absolute best way in my opinion to learn a foreign language, us to listen to it.
I grew up in Southern Jutland, where we had DR, and 3 German tv stations. I learned a lot of German, just by watching German TV, before learning it in school.
And my kids already learned a tonne of English, before learning in School, just by playing video games, and chat with players online.
I would btw., recommend watching a show like Matador or Rejseholdet on DR, with Danish subs enabled. You might not understand everything, but you'll get the plot, and eventually learn more Danish.
@@akyhne so true. But thats in general listen and read at the same time is best way to any language
Yeah!, the german channels was a great help, Sesamstraße, and all the others , Spitze.
@@AbsSolut Oh, it wasn't that kind of content I saw. It was westerns, horror movies etc.
Snuck down late at night, to the TV, when my parents were asleep hehe. So saw a lot of great movies, like Alien, The Thing, The Fog, Alfred Hickok etc.
@@akyhne saw them too, when I was home alone age 7-8, , funny the same guy who did the lines in many of them, hillarius. Was the birds, all the Hitckok, and the freaking US movies of alien attack or big ants from nuclear disaster's, lol
Love the work. Ask what should danes know about americans before they move to Denmark. (:
Interesting idea!
I LOVE when it’s Dark at 3pm (15). I don’t like summertime.
1:38 Maybe if u guys did a live podcast be like thingy where u litterally could talk about everything that u wanna discuss and then have viewers maybe both who could hook up in one stream via a voice connection and then also in general via chat? Just a little through after what u guys said around the time stamp
My only complaint regarding the weather: I so much miss the snow and cold that I experienced in my childhood. Back then (circa 1970) we scated on our local lake during winters and (stupid young) people drove their cars out on the ice. One of the cars went thru unfortunately.
Nowadays I don't say "yahoo, we got snow this Christmas!" but "yahoo, we got rain this Christmas!"
Sad really. 😕 Wish I'd been born in northern Norway. 🇳🇴⛄
(Been there many times and love it).
Hei Norge! Elsker deg!
Hey Josh, there might be some settings on the mic, or cam that you want to take a look at. Or maybe try without the sock on it. It sounded like you were yelling into a box
Josh starting to speak Danglish?!? - what is the World coming to? 😂
Tillykke m 5 årsdagen. Husk nu, at udtale smør-re-brød i 3 stavelser.😋 Altid hyggeligt at se jer😊♥
Re language: I found German impossible to learn because its grammar is crazy (just like Danish grammar). On the other hand it was really easy to learn English since it has very little grammar.
After 40ys of reading and listening to English I've realized that the more you delve into the English language the more complicated and random it really is. And I'm not just thinking of "if I were". 😅
I believe the weather changing several times a day must be a challenge - it's is for Danes.
NOW is the time of year, when you should leave home in the morning with your bikini and your thickest sweater. Sun screen and gloves. Shades and umbrella. Wellingtons and flip flops.
You never fåking know what can happen during a day, but must prepare for all 4 seasons.
I hate travelling domnestic in April 😕
This is probably a small thing, but nevertheless: Americans who come to Denmark should think carefully about the cycling universe in Denmark. When they move out onto the cycle paths, there is speed across the field and rules that are very important to know. Only so that they and we will avoid accidents and angry speech. Happy Easter!
Hello, I hope you read this comment. I would like to show you powerchairfootball one day. It is a sport for disabled people and it is a international sport. The electric chairs being used is made in USA and is called StrikeForce.
Work life balance.
I worked with an American professor in MIT and she didnt get the concept of leisure time and time differences.
She would send an email at 1am Danish time and get angry she didnt get a reply by 4 pm. It really put me off getting a job in the US.
Thank you for another great vlog 👌
Er at the end of a word is present tense.: at tale - jeg taler, jeg talte.
I think you were talking about Nouns, Josh: Et hus, (a house) huset (the house) en bil (a car) - bilen (the car)
Thanks! I was actually talking about present tense verbs and drawing a comparison to nouns in that you place en or et at the end to indicate “the” being before when translated in the case of a noun. For verbs for “he is talking” you say “han taler”. And “er” is the word for “is”, so it is a construct to help me remember how to probably say or recognize present tense - placing “is” or “er” at the end of the word.
Happy 5 year anniversary
I think cars should be added; prices are off the charts as it is a taxed object to buy, own, and drive (gas and possibly upcoming road pricing); there is a reason for the many bikes, etc. Also, parking is troublesome (do not get a full size) Even the driving lanes are pretty narrow.
Houses and the land on which they are built are also taxed.
Tap water is a tax item, and you pay for sewer at the same volume
Dentists are not part of free health care, and they are expensive.
Yes the weather affect our mood and change it constantly. That's why we have this silly thing we say : everybody talk about the weather. But nobody do anything about it.
5 years already... wow... i'm glad u like it here! :)
Thanks!
What do u both work with in Denmark ? What is your jobs ?
We are both in IT. I am a technical product specialist and Josh is in product sales - M
God Paaske!
God Påske :-)
I am always surprised by your opinion about Danes not being outgoing towards people. I grew up in a small town in Midtsjælland where everybody knew everybody and have since treated people the same way. Maybe it is just me.
It’s a comparative thing, though. Compared to Americans, Danes are reserved. That doesnt mean they aren’t open and welcoming but you can be open and welcoming and still wait for someone else to make the first move out of respect for privacy. In the US, it is on the existing group to welcome someone new regardless of privacy. Like if you move to a new neighborhood, it is expected that the neighbors introduce themselves within the first few days (at least where I am from) and welcome you to the community. It’s really the opposite here. That doesnt mean it’s bad. It’s just different. - M
With the old holiday system, you could still take 5 weeks off, or for that matter all time you wanted and your employer would give you. You just had to pay for it yourself.
Of course, but when you first move to an expensive country getting a pay check is pretty important :).
The audio is not remotely as crisp as it used to be in the other videos, or is it just me? Different acoustics maybe?
Yeah, I realized the issues too late. Did my best to fix the clipping in post, but still not the best. Will be better next time.
Hvordan med regler for Maya til at hun får sit eget sted at bo?
Må hun gerne selv leje en lejlighed/værelse eller flytte sammen med Villads, hvis hun ville det? Eller skal hun bo hos jer inden hun får Statsborgerskab?
Tillykke med de 5 år :)
Her CPR must be registered at our address until she can get her own visa. So she’ll live with us until she graduates from university.
@@TravelinYoung, So you are saying, you take at least 5 more years in Danmark? ;)
Good to see you still have good supplies of booze.
Always.
er det muligt for jer at vise huset uden at afsløre beliggenheden og hvad med en rumtur ??🏡😇
We plan to do a tour for sure! We just want to finish organizing a bit more first. Soon I promise :).
@@TravelinYoung ser frem til det
The struggle for money is so much harder in the US.
Living in DK in summer and southern Europe in winter 😂
Er det jer alle 3 der gerne vil blive i Danmark
When you can pronounce this, you are Danish to me "den kontracykliske kapitalbuffer"
Damn the sound is bad on your mike Josh.. 😞
Du kunne godt have taget ferie det første år - den ville bare være selvbetalt (altså uden løn). Ferie er ikke en overenskomstting, den er lovreguleret.
I love following your danish travelling but you need to aquint yourself with the danish way of baseball. it's called rundbold and no one besides folkeskole pupils takes it seriously
Technically, you were entitled to take as much time off as anyone else your first year, you just weren't entitled to paid vacation. I think most Danes, certainly myself, would've taken some time off regardless.
Yes, I did understand that, but it’s not the best time to go with a smaller pay check - shortly after moving to a very expensive country as a family of 3 with only one working :). So that wasn’t really practical at the time.
@@TravelinYoung ah, yes, indeed, and especially before getting familiar with and accustomed to such saving hacks as "living off nothing but rugbrød and leverpostej for months on end" and "signing up to waiting lists 20 years in advance to get cheap housing" 😆 Denmark is expensive, and there are not a lot of ways to save that are accessible to newcomers 😕 I hope you have found some ways to save since then, so it doesn't feel like you're paying gourmet prices for everything
In this video.... im sorry to say.. the sound is... " not good" ...
Agree. The sound quality was off
@@Je-Razor
with that said...
video quality and content, you can't complain about...
entertainment and lovely people, in one and the same package.
I was for sure disappointed and tried to fix the clipping as much as I could in post. Was trying to bring the lavs back to reduce echo in the new house but missed the levels on the receiver which clipped but got corrected but still distorted in the camera levels which I did monitor.
Long story short, it won’t happen again :).
@@TravelinYoung The video was still enjoyable. Love your content :)
For the algoritme
Oh no, no chatting, please
You've got the feeling that we Danes are reserved, Josh and Miranda, it's because you've ended up on the wrong side of Denmark, come west here we're free,
You mean move to Jutland?
@@Finnec123 yes
I asked ChatGPT why I can't stop farting.
It asked me to clarify my problem and I told it that gas is coming out my ass.
Then I was disconnected from the service.
Apparently, I had been automatically unsubbed. No longer.
Strange! Welcome back!
@@TravelinYoungT.y. from a Hillerød-citizen where you have been.
Danes are NOT reserved or introvert! It's the Americans that are pathologically overly extrovert!
(Joking ofc 🙂)
Why, does he keep interrupting her, and speaking over her? Let her finish, please
if you are interesting in the danish vs english gramma, www.youtube.com/@JacksonCrawford he has some good info on it, and how its tied into norse, along with swedish,nerwegian and so on..
