- We are so excited to have reached 1000 subscribers! It is amazing how much support this community has given us over the past 5 months. We wanted to share our excitement with you.
We also wanted to walk through how we've evolved along the way. What lessons did we learn as we created more videos. The biggest lesson of course was to engage with you, because you helped us gain the right perspective as content creators.
Our top lessons:
1) Focus on content and story telling, pretty images aren't enough to gain an audience.
2) Be willing to talk even if you are in the middle of a city with people around you.
3) Be consistent when posting, we started uploading 2 videos a week and that definitely paid off.
4) Spend some time learning the craft, good lights, equipment, editing, music can all pay off when creating content.
5) Be yourself and be willing to open up. Connecting to the viewer makes everything more compelling whatever the subject of the video might be.
5) Listen to the audience! You guys have great ideas about places to go and things to do, in our case it is your country so we like to use your knowledge as guides.
6) Engage with the camera as much as possible. We used to shoot a lot of b-roll and talked in between to keep some kind of flow. Now we talk and show us experiencing things as much as possible and b-roll just helps us transition to the next time we talk.
7) Include friends and other people to keep the videos fresh and interesting. We are lucky a ton of people have been willing to participate when possible, it has helped a lot with the story telling!
8) Don't be afraid to take some chances and try something new. Sometimes it won't work, but when you post 2 videos a week, it is okay for a video to flop. It is a chance to experiment and learn, so try new things!
Thank you again for all of the support so far. We can't wait to see where this takes us!
Check out Kelly at - My New Danish Life - / mynewdanishlife and her blog - www.mynewdanishlife.com/
Congrats. 👍❤️🤩Y’all are Superstars. 🍾🎉
Haha, thanks!
I've watched a ton of your videos, and yes, I originally came here from Kelly's channel, which I've been following for a while.
I also REALLY enjoyed the biscuits and gravy video and I DO hope you'll make more "weird" American food for us to see and perhaps actually try out. It's so great to see the finished result - sure you can look up a recipe, but when you have no idea of how it's supposed to look, it's kinda tricky. That's where videos are a great help.
I guess a reason why so many of us Danes love your videos is that to us, it's interesting to get an outsider's perspective on things we all take for granted. And I guess there's a certain degree of vanity, too. We ARE the best country ;) and it's always great when someone from the rest of the world notices and appreciates it.
At the same time, we do have a habit of making fun of ourselves - so while we (of course) may not agree on whatever a foreigner finds odd or perhaps even bad about Denmark we can laugh at it, because ... hey, they are silly foreigners, what do they know ;)
Aaaanyway: Keep up the great work. I love your videos and I love your ways of ... well ... being!
Congratulations 🇩🇰🇺🇸 🇩🇰🇺🇸 No surprise you are gaining followers. Your charm and energy is awesome. You should have put American flags on the cake as well 😃🇺🇸🇩🇰
Haha, thanks! We'd need to find some flags first, might not be easy here.
an idea
find a friend each, a father, a mother, and a child, preferably about the same age, and talk about the differences you have, as a parent, what expectations are there, both as a father and a mother, etc. the same with Maya just about school :)
Good idea, would be interesting to discuss differences from each perspective. Thanks!
Congrats guys! My first video was the Leaving America for Europe video. I knew instantly this would be a channel I wanted to sub to and watch the progress of, and I'm glad I subscribed. Miranda made a really good point that I think was the reason for why I enjoy your videos so much. I get to live vicariously through you guys. I am deadset on moving to Denmark, but I know this is a longterm plan of mine because there's still a lot of steps and obstacles for me to take before I feasibly can make that move. So while I am learning Danish on my own through self-study, it helps to be inspired by learning more about Denmark, which is hard when there's just so little content available for me on RUclips, let alone the internet in general. I have to use a vpn to watch TV in Danish because it's just not accessible outside of Denmark. I used to watch Kelly's channel, but I gotta say that your prior experience with editing and then relearning it is greatly helping because even though y'all still experiment to find your niche in the market, there's at least a good baseline standard for the quality of your videos. I like that.
That is super nice of you to say. It is interesting because before visiting Kolding I of course looked to RUclips and found almost nothing about the place. When I arrived I was blown away by all it had to offer. I am hoping we can bring some awareness to the gems of Denmark that sit far outside of CPH to encourage people to learn and visit more. When we came as tourists in 2012 we visited only CPH, Malmo for a day to say we'd been to Sweden, and Helsingør to see Kronborg Slot. Now I only make plans to visit Fyn, Jutland, or an island.
I also really appreciate what you say about the quality. Some videos like the Christmas one or the Nyhavn one took quite a bit of time to shoot and edit. I try to put in some subtle tricks the enhance the story telling and to have a little fun. I also try to not let myself get discouraged if things aren't perfect. I can see incremental improvements in our style, audio and lighting quality, and general storytelling as we go along. I suspect when I look back at the first videos in a year I will find them a bit funny. But you have to just start creating and learn and I am so glad we took the leap!
Thanks again for watching, have a great weekend!
Tillykke/Congratulations :) In fact, it was Kelly and her My New Danish Life that led into the interest in foreigners' views of Denmark, I have seen all her videos which are up right now. and now I have also seen all your vidoes that you have up right now. what a coincidence!!!
Haha, that is awesome! Kelly is great, so glad you watched her content as well. Thanks for watching us!
Enjoying your videos from 🏴. I have a friend here who is originally from Helsingør and have visited 🇩🇰with him and plan to 🤞this September. Especially enjoyed the beer tasting , looked fun 🍻👍. Mange tak , calum
Sweet, tak! We plan to do some more beer tasting and hit a few breweries once it is possible again. That was a lot of fun!
I really love you guys.
Every time I watch one of your videos I get happy.
Happy for your love in the family and for your openness and honesty.
You make Denmark so much richer
That is really nice of you to say! Thank you so much for watching!
It's always interesting to get to change perspective and get insight it to how non Danes views us it gives us a chance to look at your self's in a new light.
You deserve it guys
Thanks for saying that :)!
Hi. Your channel popped up yesterday, so I have viewed many of your videos already. Good work.
Welcome to DK. You have visited more places in DK then I have in my lifetime. Even ny birthplace Ærø
Logic would be Americans following you. But no, Danes love to hear about our country and ourselves 🤣
Dont overdo it with drones and prof equipment. It is you and your story that makes the content. 👍
For sure, I just find the equipment bit to be fun. I used to be a cameraman and studied TV production in university. So geeking out is part of my passion. But regardless, the story and content is key :).
Thank You for all your kind words about my town Kolding , we’re not used to such praise😂, always feeling we are one step behind Vejle
We really enjoyed the visit and plan to go back in warmer weather! Koldinghus is a treasure.
Won't be long before people begin to recognize you on the street and ask for selfies😄 I recently stumbled upon your channel and what I enjoy the most is that being able to follow your perspective helps broaden my perspective on my own country as well as the World. Not to mention that you seem like genuinely nice people who get a lot out of life. That's inspiring. So far you have been good company even though it's a very one way kind of being "social". But I guess that fits in well with the times we live in🤔 Btw. I work in Lyngby so there's a small chance I might be one of those random people who stops and says hello at some point in the future.
That is super nice of you to say. Who knows, perhaps people will recognize us one day. If it is you in Lyngby, definitely stop and say hello. We do just about all of our shopping and eating out in the Storecenter or the main street. We'd love it!
@@TravelinYoung Will do if I see you, thanks! My workplace is actually very close to Lyngby Storcenter. I'm sitting in the big building made of red bricks on the other side of Klampenborgvej (when I'm not working from home which is currently the case). My wife also has an uncle and two cousins who live in Lyngby by the way.
We live in Esrum which is a small town on the north side of the lake by the same name. If you want to explore this little corner of the country at some point in time you could easily spend a day or two visiting these very nearby sites:
- Esrum Monestery (www.esrum.dk/)
- Nordsjællands Fuglepark (www.fugleparken.dk/)
- Tegners Museum (www.rudolphtegner.dk/)
It's only a 30 min. drive from Lyngby. If it wasn't for the pandemic you would also be welcome to stop by at our house for a liquid beverage of some sort.
@@ThorRavnsborg This all sounds awesome! I love birds, so you had me there. Sounds like a great day out from Lyngby. Fingers crossed it will be possible in the spring.
Very interesting for me. I was born and raised in Chicago, then lived 20 years in so cal, and finally lived in DK for almost 20 years, Aalborg. What is nice for me to see is how you are unfolding. I've seen this movie before and its fun to watch what impacts you and when.
Haha, cool! We lived 8 years in Brookfield. We do miss the area, but Denmark has been a great change for us so far. This is definitely an evolution for us and are happy to share it here. Thanks for watching!
Recently moved back to Lyngby-Taarbæk after 21 years and - funnily enough because I'm a Dane myself - I've learned more about this area and CPH from your videos than I have figured out on my own since we moved back here LOL. Looking forward to exploring the CPH and Lyngby area once summer comes and Covid-19 is under control (hopefully.) We've lived in Canada and in the US (our kids went to middle school and high school in the US) and I recognize your struggles as foreigners in a different country. It's always interesting to look at your country with foreigners' eyes - everything becomes a bit more clear that way. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoy our country and I look forward to following you right here on youtube.
Thanks! Lyngby is wonderful, we love it here. We appreciate you watching and we definitely love it in DK.
Right at the end. "We can't wait till we see when we get to 5000 or 10.000" Well first part check. Nicely done. Congratulations on 5k subs
Haha, thanks! It is really unbelievable to me. But so much fun :).
You guy's are so much fun to follow, funny enough you're the second channel of American/American's in Denmark. And the funny thing is, Kelly (if I'm not remembering wrong) is from Illinois as well. I like comfort food videos.
Yes she is! Kelly and her channel are great. We aren't originally from Chicago/IL, so we might not make it back too often now that we've left, but we really enjoyed the 8 years we lived there.
It is great to have a couple of us Americans out here sharing our perspectives :).
Congratz Guys! You should visit Ribe on your next trip to Jutland. It is the oldest town in Denmark, foundend more than 1300 years ago in the early viking age. Very charming old city with old houses, crooked tiny cobbled streets, a massive cathedral, and some great museums. The Wadden Sea which is World Heritage is also located just 5 km away, would be great for a weekend get-away in the spring. Thx for the videos, and have a great weekend :)
Absolutely, Ribe is super high on the list! Have a great weekend as well, and thank you so much for watching.
Miranda is right !! There are not so many videos about Denmark. That's how i discovered you, searching about american perspectives about denmark :))). Keep up the good work, i can't wait to see your channel grow, you have a really nice community here 😊
Haha, thanks! I agree, the community here is great!
Congratulations! Keep up the awesome work!
And I found this one when it say 4900 subs^^
Thanks! It’s been a crazy fast ride since we hit 1k!
Tillykke with the 1000 subs! So well-deserved! I can't wait to see more travel videos whenever you are allowed to get out there again! ;) I love Berlin! One of my favorite places. I'm eager to hear what new places you find! :) In October, they have a festival of lights on all the most famous buildings, FYI! In case the border opens up for fall break! ;) Congrats again!!
Thanks, we really appreciate the message Kelly! We can't wait to get out and about again ourselves. Between seeing more of DK and places like Berlin, we've got a lot of plans :).
I just found you channel and I just love how down to earth you and your videos are.
I see you have been to Århus and 40 minutes by car, you can be in my hometown Silkeborg witch is a very beautiful area with lots of lakes and forests.
It is worth the trip, I promise 🙂
I had a work meeting there in 2019, but we plan to go for real this summer. It will be the summer of Jutland for the Young’s :). And thanks!
it's true there is not many of us here in Denmark that makes English content, and congress on the 20k followers.
Keep up the good work
i love you gall and you way to tell the storie of living in denmark
Thanks!
I have a place you must visit when covid-19 restrictions are lifted and you visit Jutland again .. You must start by watching the Danish film Hvidstens grupp and it may well be Maya must be there to be able to translate it for you then it is a Danish film .. so next time you come to Jutland you must visit Hvidsten Kro to eat there. Remember not to eat until you arrive. It is probably one of the places in Denmark where they stick to the old Danish food culture. to Maya Was it not an idea to read to Journalist at Aarhus School of Journalism. I actually think the whole family is getting well beyond the screen looking forward to watching more creative RUclips from you guys
Thanks, I appreciate that. We look forward to making more videos :). I will check out the film (with Maya's help) and the restaurant next time we are in Jutland.
I've been to Iceland twice and will go back as soon as it's possible..! 💕🇮🇸
I simply stumbled on to your videos, now i watched all of em. You guys are just great to watch and fun as a Dane to get a perspective of "yourself" from the eyes of others. So keep up the great work your doing! And living in Northern Jutland, you need to visit this part of the country, Aalborg and Skagen for instance is a place you need to visit aswell, if you want some specific sites you would like to see just write.
Again keep up the awesome job!
and here in the end im thinking ive should have written this in danish, but that would be next time :D
Absolutely, northern Jutland is high on our list. Thanks for the kind words, I am glad you enjoy!
Ja det er super spændende at hør hvad i synes om at bo her i denmark så mere af det 😀😀😀
Tak!
Congratulate with the first 1000 subs. Now already 2000 when i write this comment. You are getting there.
Questions:
How do you, look at handball ( håndbold) and soccer (fodbold), as an american family living in Denmark. And do remember that we do have national teams both women team and men team playing international championship.
How do it compair to America sport like America football and basketball. That is the 2 type of ballplay, that i, as a dane find to be the equal in popularity in America compairt to Denmark. By the way, i did see Kelly's video about danish handball.
Love to hear your wiews about it. Side note. Handball was invented in Denmark.
Tillykke! I enjoy watching your unique perspective on Denmark. A little pronunciation tip for you: Kolding is pronounced exactly like culling in english.
Thanks, yeah I remembered the pronunciation after having said it wrong 10 times :). Hard to retrain your brain on the soft D.
@@TravelinYoung Just to confuse your brain further the d in Kolding is actually silent. It can be hard, soft or silent. Not to mention that you get to struggle with the plethora of vowel sounds we use which to make matters worse are often pronounced totally different from how they are written. Danish is not easy. Hats off for trying to learn it.
@@ThorRavnsborg Thanks, yeah, it twists my english speaking brain up to try to get it all right. But I can tell we've been making small improvements.
Congratulations guys!! I love watching your videos and experiencing and learning about my own country through your eyes. Could you maybe do an update on your danish learning?
Thanks! Yes, we are planning to in a couple of weeks. We both finish the first module and do our first test in early Feb. I was planning on doing an update then, hopefully with good news of us passing and moving on to module 2 :).
You’re welcome, it’s so interesting to see and hear expats views about our country,people and culture and a chance to learn a little about our self.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks, we plan to :).
Congrats on the milestone. 😁🇩🇰
I think what caught my eye was exactly the fact that you don’t keep to Copenhagen. Eeeeverybody can talk about Copenhagen, but Denmark is and has so much more to show, of course we have. 😁 And we in the “rural” Denmark often feel overseen when it comes to showing what is typical Danish and what a typical Dane is, since being in and living in Copenhagen is quite different from being in the “rural Denmark”, “udkants-Danmark”.
@@PepsiMaGs I agree! This channel has helped motivate us to get out and explore even more. I am glad you've enjoyed it! We have plans to see a lot more of DK in the spring/summer assuming it is possible. There is so much more than just CPH.
You guys are so wholesome, yet fun. This is what we all need during lockdown
Thanks for saying that :).
Congratulations well deserved. Fun as a Dane to hear your experiences and opinions about our common little country. Suggestions for something you should consider seeing, Dragsholm Castle 😊
Thanks, it is definitely on our list!
Tillykke guys you deserve it hope we're see bigger numbers in the future
Thanks, I appreciate that. Fingers crossed :).
@@TravelinYoung Well I'd fasten my seat belt so I'm ready for the ride
@@runethedane8895 haha, I think you might be right :).
Congratulations on your first 1000 subscribers 🙂
You are such a nice family, and I enjoy watching you, and rediscover my own country through your eyes 🙂
I have never been to Ærø or Kolding, which I want to now, but last summer I was on Anholt for the first time - SOOOO surprisingly beautiful 😍 Consider that! 😎
Thanks, so glad you want to visit Kolding and Ærø now :). And I've added Anholt to my list!
I think what you really need to do, is instead of making what you think we like to watch, you make the videos you want to make. Dont look too much on numbers.
If you want to make a video about cooking do it! Maybe it wont get as high numbers, but it will show the passion for the video and that's most important :)
Grats on 1000 subs. You make awesome videos.
Edit: You should also come to Aalborg one day. We have amazing things to see up here aswell :P
That is a fair point. I think it is a balance, but I do promise that we only do things we are passionate about or what we think will be fun.
Thanks! And we do plan to visit Aalborg likely this summer. We intend on exploring north Jutland as I've never been past Aarhus.
First of all, a warm welcome to Denmark. (Hjertelig velkommen til Danmark). I like your approach to this YT project. Keep up the good work. If you guys would like some info on the most Northern parts of Denmark, I'd be more then happy to tell you where you can find the gems. The part I'm talking about is called: Vendsyssel. Feel free to email me. You guys stay safe and take care. See you in your next video. :)
Thanks we appreciate that. We are planning to hit northern bits of Jutland this summer. Thanks for watching!
Congrats Guys 😄😄😄
Congrats for passing 1000 subscribers!
Thanks!
love you.
It’s quit fun and interresting watching a nice and down to earth american family check out Denmark. I’m norwegian but we love our little neighbor in the south and love traveling there. Spesially in my youth we allways went to the music festivals (mostly the Roskilde festival). I hope Covid fades away till the summer and hope that you go to one of the big music festivals in Denmark and do some vlogging there. Best wishes and stay safe from norwegian viewer 😎👍
Stort tillykke 👏👏👏❤❤❤🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Tak!
All depending on how long you decide to stay in Denmark, I'm guessing you'll get around to see more of Denmark?
My question is; jobs and school aside, is living life easier or more difficult here in Denmark, compared to the USA?
Are you more comfortable in you're own skin here or in the USA?
(asking bc I used to have the responsibility for the exchange students at my school, way back when...and they often said it was easier to be themselves, here.
That in the USA, there was greater pressures to be a certain way, dress a certain way, hair, make-up and here things are more laid back)
Happy that you are happy, bc the videos are fun! - love from Hundested 🌸
We will likely stay here for a long time and we do plan to explore and see as much as possible, though we will likely always live near CPH.
I think life is easier because we've had less stress, we talk about this some in our happiness video. But that is more of a broad statement about life in general, we are happier here at the moment.
I can only speak for myself as an adult (Joshua here), but I never had problems being myself in the US. I could always find friends and people who were similar to me. So in my experience that is no different between here and there. I suspect it is different for kids, but also kids who are here as immigrants versus kids who are native Danish. I can't say for sure cause I don't have first hand knowledge, but I do know Maya had a hard time feeling like she fit in when she first arrived in DK. She mentions that a little in our video about moving here.
We have all adjusted now and are super happy. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel, love the content, subscribed right away. Very interesting seeing Denmark From a "Foreigners" eyes. But a big welcome to Denmark :)
That is awesome, thanks for watching!
Congratz
Tak!
🥳🥳🥳
Tak!
Solvang i Californien er en dansker koloni. Måske de ville være intereseret i jeres videoer.
Congrats!
Tak!
Congratulations, stay safe .
Tak!
Your videos are really enjoyable, I am bummed that the cooking wasnt a succes, I was actually going to suggest that you made chicken and waffles, because to us danes it seems really weird, but honestly I am curious and really want to try it out!
But hey if it doesnt work, it doesnt work!
I think we will still do it, we just might change the format a bit. I was thinking of doing a little history of chicken and waffles and maybe interview a restaurant in the US that is known for the dish. That combined with the cooking could create more interest. It will just require a bit more prep time, but could also be fun! Stay tuned! Also, thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
Congrats :) tillykke:)
Tak!
Congrats! Tillykke! Godt Gået.
Tak!
I would LOVE to watch a video about chicken and waffles!!!!😃
The concept isn't dead, we can do it at some point. We bought a waffle maker and everything, so we kinda have to! :)
thank you for sharing this. by the way im danish, and woud love to se you on "BAKKEN" tak for jeres videoer, og vi holder af jer
Huge congrats, guys!! Greetings, from a new Danish subscriber (997th, I think, haha) who discovered your channel a couple of days ago :D I really enjoy your content and the fact that you've made this RUclips channel a bonding experience for your family. Keep trying out lots of different stuff, even the cooking/baking videos, Miranda, hehe ;)
I wish your family all the best - I'm sure you will continue to gain lots of more subscribers!
PS - video suggestion: since biking is such a huge thing in Denmark, maybe you could make a video about your experience with biking in Denmark?
Haha, thanks! Bikes is a cool idea. Added to the list :).
Hey guys :) Here's an idea. It seems you like sports. You should do some react video on some sport were the danes are good. Maybe handball. The world cup is starting today and the danes are defending champions. Danes are crazy about those guys and national tv will send all the matches. Its all great fun. Could be fun to hear what americans think of handball.
Handball is something I don't know anything about :). I do think Kelly posted a video about handball today though actually, you should def check it out over on my new danish life.
For me, I might need to spend some time learning a bit about it. I do like sports, but I have drifted away from it a bit as of late as I got more and more into music. I should at least do a video about baseball, as that is my favorite sport, perhaps when the season starts in April. And perhaps football during the euro cup this summer. We've gone to a lot of matches over the years and a few world cups.
We did watch the final Denmark match from the fan fest in Russia back in 2018 and supported the team! So close to winning!
Have you ever went to “Middelfart” or “Strib”? And try bridge walking on the bridge that would be fun 🤩
I haven't, but I will add it to the list! As for the bridge, I am terrified of heights, so I will have to watch others do that :).
Maybe you can go and visit Næstved at Sydsjælland, that’s my hometown. The city got about 50.000 inhabitans:)
Sounds good! We did go to Gavnø Slot, but didn't really visit anything around it. Not a bad day trip from CPH once things settle down.
@@TravelinYoung Nice, the video about Gavnø was really good! The owner is just a clown... You can also continue in the south dirrection, and visit Lolland, Falster and Møn. Especially Møns Klint, maybe the most beautiful place in Denmark. It’s also on the UNESCO list.
@@casperbocher Absolutely, there are all on my list once things are warmer and feel a bit more normal. Those are also all easy overnight trips from where we live.
congrats!
im a pretty new sub, have you guys heard/tried to go too "grænsen" (the german border)? Danes normaly buy huge amaouts of candy, beer, soda, in some pretty big stores, and then drive home again, some people has the tradition to get a curry susage when they are at the bordershop. Fleggaard is probably the most "famous" one. we do it beacaus its a lot cheaper there. Just a video idea, if you want to go there when corona will let you.
best wishes, a random guy from the internet :)
Border shops are great and I miss them! We drive into Germany a couple times a year and usually go. Need to restock my beer :). Could def be a good video once things are back up.
Thanks for watching random guy from the internet :).
Congratulations! Was here before 1000 Haha xD hope you guys are well!
Awesome, we appreciate that! Thanks, we are great!
Danes likes to react to anything remotely danish (me including), keep up the good work. I tried to subscribe, but I already was :D
Haha, that is funny. I appreciate you trying to subscribe twice :). Thanks for the kind words, we plan to keep on going!
Tønder Festival 2021
Can't wait!
Do you have Scandinavian roots? When I look at you and ignore the thick American accent, you could fool me into thinking you were a nice Danish couple with a cute redhaired daughter. Red hair is a Viking thing, you know.
Ha, not as far as I know but Miranda has German roots. Perhaps they drifted up into the nordics at some point. I am 1/4th Italian with the rest of my family having been in the US basically since the beginning. I think they originally may have come over from Ireland.
Once we get our Danish down perhaps we'll pass for that nice Danish couple :).
Thanks for watching!
Hey, Im New subscriber to youre Channel.
It pop up today or yester day on my yt.
you guys are very interesting to follow after i have watch a lot videos already.
Funny and good to know how People feel it and experience that country Im born and raised
Im from Denmark (North Jutland)
Hope you some day will visit this part of Denmark
We are planning to visit northern jutland this summer!
Chicken and waffles??! I’m horrified and intrigued, it’s like soup with steak in my ears.
I think we will end up doing this video one day, we might just do it in a slightly different style. Also chicken and waffles are amazing and Union Kitchen in DK has an interesting take on them. I always order that when we go there.
Really if you think about it, it's not THAT far off from a chicken sandwich because the waffles are't particularly sweet. Trust me though, fried chicken with maple syrup is amazing though. It's that great mix of sweet and savory. I also recommend bacon with syrup. mmmmm
and at the time watching this video the channel has nearly 5k subs! Just a few weeks later... Can you believe it?!
I would say, one thing is, it is interesting for your viewers to see, but one tip, from a gaming RUclipsr, with 6,5k subs, I think he has, is that it's also interesting for *YOU*. If you aren't in to it, the content will be flat and vague.
We started doing this just on whim as something fun to do. It has indeed been so much fun and continues to be! We have been so overhwelmed by the response. We'll keep doin what we're doin and having a great time :) Thank you so much for watching!
@@TravelinYoung It's also interesting for me, to see as a Dane, what the world outside, is looking at my country. And I think that is the same for those Danish viewers you have got. I guess some Americans would also for fun go search and see for example Danes in America. Places the Americans recognize and know, the impression, view and perspective it is for example for a Dane to live in that specific place
how about trying and going out to the west coast especially the islands Fanø and Rømø, a fantastic place
We definitely need to get out to see the west coast for sure! Can't wait for things to open up and warmer weather so we can.
Sounds like you’re becoming too danish too fast, haha. Taking your time and not rushing through your stories and speech. I mean it as a good thing that you’ve taken in the danish language. I thought about something that I think most forget about us Danes. The so-called “Danske folkesjæl”
I also speculate in the fact that of course your ears/brain has to wrap itself around the sounds and tones of our language. I know that you are all fond of music, but I don’t know how much popular danish music you listen to? There are many great bands that have some of that folkesjæl in their persona and music.
I will name two for now. The band tv-2 and Niels Hausgaard. They both sing and perform mostly in danish and they both have that I call Den Danske Folkesjæl. You ought not to fall into the same trap that other foreigners do by go straight to Kim Larsen although was probably THE person to embody this soul I speak of. Which isn’t really a soul, but a state of mind. One could argue that our state of mind and personality is our soul. Anyway. Congratulations on reaching 1000 subscribers. And here’s to 5.000.000 more 😳
Btw. As you all put it; there’s more to Denmark than just Copenhagen. If I was moving to USA tomorrow and live out in the sticks in Colorado with endless visibility almost, I would get bored pretty quickly.
My advice to you three is.not to empty out your experiences within the first two years you’ve lived here. 😎
Please bear in mind that my comment about den danske folkesjæl and mentioning singers and performers is that, while I don’t know how much danish is spoken within your house, the best way for me to have learnt English was through songs and cartoons back in the 80s and 90s without the dubbing on American shows like Transformers and Bravestar and such. Music is good.
Also check out the late Dirch Passer. It isn’t because he was always late that I call him the late. You know of course that it’s because he’s dead, Jim. Dirch was so much fun. But so are many current entertainers too
Tillykke! I have to ask: how any of us are Danes?
As you know we're so selfcentered, so my - slightly embarrased - guess is 50%, or more.
People who watch our videos? Right now about 80% of our traffic is coming from Denmark. And almost all comments.
And thanks!
@@TravelinYoung You're welcome - and why a I not surpriced? But there must be a fair part of the Danish traffic, that's from expats.
Just keep up the good work!
@@TravelinYoung PS my offer of a guided tour in Nyborg wasn't just a polite frase. It is indeed serious.
My claim to fame? Born and bread here. Worked in the library. Trained as a tourist assistent. Married an expat. Became an expat (5 countries). Went to teachers college (Danish and history as majors). "Hobbies": Art, religions and politics.
Bonus: Curious as hell and brought up to know that there's no such thing as stupid questions, just stupid answers.
I'll give you a general tour of this historic town (older than København). I'll show you a thew things that neither the guide books, nor google can. You'll let me know what turns you on pidgeons, theater, geologi, martial arts, recycling, military history , architecture - you name it, and I'll accommodate you the best I can.
CU?
@@ane-louisestampe7939 Thanks for the offer! That would be interesting, just need to see when we can actually get out and about again.
@@TravelinYoung By the end of May we should all be vaccinated and we'll be some what closer to normal. And anyhow, the weather will be shit until then ;-)
It'll be fun, I promise!
Congratulations now you can be monetized granted you have 4.000 watch hours 🙂
Thanks! Yep, we actually reached the watch hour threshold a while ago :).
@@TravelinYoung I had a feeling😉, but ofc I can't see how many watch a big portion of each of your videos although I guessed it was high
Wow, and now it’s already 5680 one month later.
It has been amazing this past month. Super fun!
If i may come up with a crazy idea, women "kvindeliga.dk - fodbold" soccer has low crowds and tickets are cheapish.
They start again here in march and HB Køge has a few americans playing on their team.
In any case, thank you and it wil be interesting to see, how your channel evolve
Thanks, that could be interesting! I appreciate the idea and thanks for watching!
I burde besøge Ødis 😼
So question is, once you hit 10K Subscribers, will you be able to do the video in Danish ?
Haha, depends on how fast we get there. At the current rate it might be hard, but we will start to through in some Danish once we get through the classes a little more.
Maybe make the, try it out Tuesday, as a separate video. Then you get one more a week.
I'll have to think this over to see if we can pull it off. It might be super short, but could be nice.
new again ??
We've been playing with new intro ideas. But the short 20 second video of us that I updated for 2021 will remain and appear right before we get into the regular content.
