Yes and no - the Americans I know who live here are generally very happy with it. Some are so used to being able to speak English everywhere in Denmark that they live here for years without getting to know the language. But I would definitely recommend people who live here for a longer time (two or more years) to learn a little Danish. It's not that hard, and they can use their knowledge of Danish to easily learn similar languages like German, Swedish, etc.

That sounds very similar to here; although here learning the language usually starts closer to the 4 or 5 year mark.

Once again I'm forgetting Denmark as 'the other country that is so much like ours.'
