At the time I was not interested and did not learn the danish language, therefore I will only cinsider english language here. I had absolutely no problems in any situation while interacting with the Danish people. Everyone speaks English fluently in there, including everyday people in the streets, the academic staff and administration personel. The only problem that I used to have in some cases, ws communicating with other Erasmus students, whose english was often on a bad level This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Although I was not used to speak English before, I was very comfortable with the language because I am used to read and write in English. Almost everyone in Denmark speaks English and well, so it was pretty easy to communicate with everyone. Some friends of mine that almost didn't speak English before ERASMUS improved a lot during their time in Horsens and are now able to use it quite ok.

It was a constant struggle.
