Hej hva så?! A common phrase here in Denmark, it means 'hi whats up?'. Whats up, is that I am having an amzing time here, the temperature has been refreshing, ranging from 0 to -10 with it having been snowing the whole time ive been here. On the night of my arrival in Denmark I was rediculously jet lagged, but my host counciller Anne-Marie was at the air port in Copenhagen to pick me up, and she is very nice, she has helped me so much since my arrival with such things as organising myself for school and travel and is also very enthusiastic to help me with whatever i need.
We came to my first host familys house in Mern which is close to the town of my school Vordingborg, the night of my arrival, a fantastic dinner had been prepared and i was made to feel very welcome, i have felt welcome at home here for my whole stay, my host Dad Alex, host Mum Dorte, host sister Estrid and host brother Erik have been warm towards me and made me feel like a part of the family.
I started school on my third day in the country and from the first day i enjoyed it immensly, my class mates are friendly and fun to be around. They have accomodated me very well, seeing as my grasp of Danske (Danish) is quite limited at the moment. It has vastly improved since i arrived though. I just came back from a week long Danish language/ Danish cultural introduction course in Jutland. It was very enjoyable spending a week with all the winter inbounds in Denmark.
I have made a few visits with my host family to Copenhagen which has been fun, i will elaborate on these trips and on my trip to Jutland during this week when i have uploaded all the photos.
