Okay, so I just realised that people from US and UK don't have to switch language to check into a hotel when they are on holidays out of the country.  And the books they read online is in their first language

Like wow, to imagine that is so weird for me. I mean, sometimes danish translators decide to translate half of a book series, so you have to dig up the other half in english and if you leant it on the library you can be so unlucky that you have to wait for it to arrive from the other end of the freaking country.

And yes, this has happened to me.

And I have kinda gotten used to that danish is the most irrelevant language in the world. Like seriously, there doesn't even exist a Wattys for Denmark, but it does from Norwegian, Germany and Sweden.

But on the bright side of the case, it also mean that you can do a lot other things. First off, when you meet new people from another country, you find the best tongue-twister and make them say it. English people can't do that, except if the person is German. Also when you are on a holiday and something bad happens or the hotel manager messed something up, you can talk bad about it, without having to seem polite. 

Like yeah, exclusive Dane club right over here. 

JK, but seriously the concept of having a popular language as your first language just seems so strange to me. Like you don't even have to learn another languge's slang and the language itself on the same time. But you never really get to train other languages either... 

This is just plain weird okay.

End of story.
