A SAffer In Denmark (Part 2)

[lols]

I started at Danish School on Monday. It was unbelievably tough! :noway: I arrived as an enthusiastic new student with my newly sharpened pencil & note pad, eager to master my new country's tongue. I think I arrived in time for Lesson # 150. My first lesson started with a video of a middle aged man wearing 70's style black rimmed glasses sitting against a black backdrop. In the background a woman's voice was going, in Danish, "Blah blah blah?" & he was answering, "Blah de blah blah blah." And so it continued for about 5 minutes. There were no pictures in the background to give any indication as to what the man was talking about. I didn't have a clue! :dazed: Then the teacher handed out a 7 page comprehension, all in Danish, for us to answer about the video. :help:

Yesterday was better. We went on a field trip to a Manor & Agricultural Museum. I got to thrash, sieve & grind wheat by hand. I then baked bread using the wheat. Then I made butter in a churn. I was so proud of myself! :chef: I also got to comb & spin wool. I don't have any natural talent for this job. :wall:

There are 11 students in my class, each a different nationality ie. USA, Afganistan, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Russia, Iceland, Poland, Indonesia, Thailand & this South African. I was welcomed with big smiles & immediately made to feel welcome. Each in his/her own language trying to help the others who were all battling as much as I was. The comradeship & spirit of the class is amazing. :jive:

I beginning to think that getting British Citizenship is actually rather easy considering the silly Life in the UK test you have to complete!

Good Luck Venus I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. It's amazing what us ladies do for love :hartlik:
