On this episode of What Are You Doing in Denmark, Conrad Molden joins Derek and Mike in the studio. They talk about Conrad's recent trip to Los Angeles, living in Denmark as a British comedian, and all the things nobody tells you about moving to Denmark.
Along the way you’ll learn how and why Conrad moved to Aarhus, what his drag name would be, and what he, Derek, and Mike were doing at 16 years old that prepared none of them for a Danish lifestyle.
Conrad shares why he’s been performing in Hungary this summer, the three analyze the five stages of learning Danish, and prove that Brits and Americans don’t always speak the same language.
You’ll finally understand the differences between salads in American vs Denmark and learn of the hard lesson Conrad learned by not checking his eboks.
What Are You Doing in Denmark? The Robe Trotting Podcast is now streaming on all platforms and right here where it all began on RU-vid.

When I was working in a bakery once (when I was 16 and hadn't outgrown føtex XD) a foreigner came in and ordered something in English so I replied back in English and he was shocked and went "How did you know I spoke English??" and I was like "Because you just did??.." I think he didn't realize that he had ordered in English instead of trying to do it in Danish, but it was definitely very weird.

Swimming is a sport you can die from not knowing... my kids will survive not knowing how to tuba 😂 On the other hand tuba is such a cool instrument. Edit: as another clumsy foot I can totally relate to Mike in that regard. Edit 2: I know Conrad is better at Danish than he let's us know. But Danish sacasm/irony, jantelov and curiosity makes his career 😄 as long as there's some truth to the perspective we'll pay to be told how silly we are... Of course it helps that the majority of Danes understand English as if it was our own language. We grew up with monty python and fawlty towers.. British humour isn't foreign to us. Conrad is simply said an extension to the silliness in which we can see ourselves.

@kirstinevad347 8 месяцев назад

On the other hand not many people can teach you how to play the tuba. 🎼👍

Comparing language learning as an adult to the stages in grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance - is genial! Intertwined and unorderly, they are nevertheless the emotional chaos one has to go through more or less year by year. Not effortlessly. And they always find something, those petty natives, with their knife-sharp ears. Never try to pass as a native, always start with excusing your attempts to speak your second language, and have them compliments coming. "Oh, I could never reach the native level, not me!" is the safe attitude. And now and then ask an innocent question like about the use of the gerundiv, is it like this or like that both in masculine and feminine cases? All the best from southern Sweden, Skåne. Here you'll pass as Danes anytime, and nobody will understand what you say! So switch to American English quickly! 😀

@Marv21653 8 месяцев назад

you should almost make a podcast. Where you take a person from Denmark and ask them about the things you don't fully understand or want to learn.

Being german myself with norwegian relatives I can assure you that they are the kings and queens of punctuality. Also german trains are notoriously late IF they show up at all and I personally am very lax about it all.

@GuinevereKnight 8 месяцев назад

Hi guys, you are all great! But did I just hear Mike say Dame Edna was british? Hm, dear Barry was very much an aussie. ❤ (Though of course she was a International Megastar, and I don't think Barry really thought of himself or her as a drag queen.)

@EriktheRed2023 8 месяцев назад

Agreed. Though as American-played-by-a-Brit Gregory House once said: "You've got the Queen on your money - you're British."

@marqprod 8 месяцев назад

Ive found that my international friends usually struggle the most with pronounciation because of "extended sounds" And scilent letters ofcourse. An example of an extended letter would be "y" in "Jyde"(meaning: a person who lives in jutland) If you pronounce the "e", youre gonna sound wierd. The "y" needs to be extended(you hold the sound briefly, like when youre singing) and the word slowly fades from the "y" sound into the "d" and to finish off, make a sudden stop as soon as you can hear the full "d" sound.

@D_Lodberg 8 месяцев назад

One thing I, as a Dane, always wonder about when foreigners talk about time and our punctuality..... What is it like when a child goes to school.... Can you also let time flow? Or do you not have lessons for the children to attend? (After all, it is "just" what we continue with in our adult lives (i.e. to comply with the time that is determined)

@RobeTrotting 8 месяцев назад

Of course there’s a schedule, people just aren’t as uptight and know that life happens and forgive a little lateness here and there.

@steffensegoviahelbo5065 8 месяцев назад

loved the comment that "I guess when you colonize the arctic you really only have salt" Then I thought about it for a min. and was like hey. we colonized much more... Like the Danish West Indies, or the Danish Gold Coast or the Tranquebar in India or Serampore i Bangladesh.. Sure none of it as grandiose as the British. but still in area's of the world where the climate was hot.

@RobeTrotting 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, true - I don’t know that the influence was two-way like it was for the Brits and Dutch or as lasting but you’re right. We do cover that in another video as well. Tranquebar and Serampore especially would have been spice trade 🤔 hmmm

@steffensegoviahelbo5065 8 месяцев назад

@@RobeTrotting well lasting probably depends I know that Danish West Indies have language, names street names and town names still that are entirely danish. though I do believe the language part is dying out. Anyway Thank you for taking the time to answer me.

@@steffensegoviahelbo5065, Virgin Islands Creole is spoken in the USVI, any remnants of Dansk beyond place names died out long ago.

@steffensegoviahelbo5065 8 месяцев назад

@@williamjones4716 well fair enough still not what I heard but Who am I to know I do not live there. :) However considering that it is only 106 years ago that the US took over from Denmark and that there where a minority of Danish speaking citizen back then I would be surprised that there are no descendants that do not speak Danish considering even in the USA there is a town where quite a few descendants of danish heritage that until at least recently still had a few residents speaking some form or dialect of danish. and they moved to the USA way earlier.

@williamjones4716 8 месяцев назад

@@steffensegoviahelbo5065 however, unlike those quaint Danish enclaves on the American prairie, blacks in the DVI (later USVI) spoke Creole among themselves, it was only the white European elites who spoke Danish. I had an African-American co-worker in the military who was Cruzan (from St. Croix) and he simply had no interest in the island's Danish history, in fact today most black Virgin Islanders look upon their Danish heritage with contempt (Note: when the islands were sold the black inhabitants were given no opportunity to move to Denmark).

Reason why people in McD and 7/11 in Copenhagen speaks English to you, is because they are all Swedish and have no clue what you are saying :)

So Conrad, claiming to live in Jylland, have you been up to Vendsyssel yet? or simply ventured outside of Aarhus city into the countryside to experience Jysk dialect? or maybe attend a real Jysk country fair, such as Hjallerup Marked? eaten fried Limfjord eel?

It’s not a “claim” it’s a fact 😂 what is he on trial for?

@williamjones4716 8 месяцев назад

@@RobeTrotting, many would hold that living in an apartment in urban Aarhus lacks the rural authenticity of Jylland. It's a whole different world out there, with far more plays on words which is Conrad's stock in trade. 😉

You should learn the language, think about all Americans who get irritated that other people do not speak English. As for the water, it's just not chlorinated like it is in the states. I too am American living in DK.

@RobeTrotting 6 месяцев назад

Why? I was never one of those Americans and I wouldn’t really use Danish here or anywhere else I may live in the future. Everyone’s situation is different, but if we don’t need it for work or family reasons it isn’t worth 4 nights a week to learn.

@CathyMathiesen 6 месяцев назад

@@RobeTrotting You may not have been one of the persons in the states that is irritated over people not learning the language. You live in KBH so it is different as many speak English. I for example speak English on my job as I work with the UK. However, learning the Danish language can also help you to learn other languages like German for example, also it's the right thing to do when you move to another country. I wouldn't expect you to speak Danish on this channel.
