Danish Classes

On Tuesday we were informed that we will be starting our 3rd and final set of classes next week. This set of classes is the shortest in our series. This means, we only have 6 weeks of class left. Since it is a private class that consists of Michael, myself and our teacher, we won't miss 2 weeks while we are in Rome, they will simply be pushed back. Our projected end date is April 1st.

Danish is a very difficult language, (My Russian classes in college were about 10 times easier than Danish.) but we are right on track to where we want to be. Our main goal was simply to understand the language through listening and reading. Speaking it was our second priority and finally writing, which was placed at a very low priority.

In the 1 year of classes we have a good grasp with the language and when I need it, I use it and more importantly I'm understood. So here's to a good final 6 weeks of Danish class!

This is one of the rooms we are in every Tuesday morning from 9 - 11. It also happens to be one of the conference rooms in the building that Texas Instruments Lyngby is located.
However, TI never uses these rooms because they have their own!

Love the big window! We don't see too much "green" here in the desert.

It's fun to see what it looks like where you have your Danish classes. It looks very Danish!
Are you glad that classes will end soon?

It will be a little sad when they end. The only time we wish we weren't in them is Monday night when we have to do our homework and Tuesday morning when we have to get up early to go to class. :o)

They have kinda become a part of our time here so it will be really strange when they end I think!
