I wish I had known...
My stay in Denmark has made me realise how isolated you can get if you don't have a basic knowledge of the native language. As a tourist you can do without, but that's not the case if you have to live there for a longer time

Final comments
Learn Danisch before you leave for Denmark (at least the basic stuff). Although the Danisch speak englisch well, they expect you to learn their language (they are very proud of their culture)It will make you realise how great Denmark and its culture is.
