We know all about the struggles of learning Danish. Since I've been in Denmark, there have been three royal weddings involving non-Danish speaking nationals. Each time, there's been a discussion about how quickly the new princess has learned to speak Danish. And then there are the inevitable comparisons about who has learned quickest and who speaks the best. On the occasion of the most recent wedding, between Prince Joachim and Marie Cavallier, Danmarks Radio has taken the competition a step further. Now people can listen to each of the princesses' first speeches and vote as to who is best at speaking Danish!

It's not surprising that a government commitee in a left-of-center nation comes to an inward-looking conclusion quite different from that of the business community, who faces the reality of global competition. To me, Danish seems to me to be alive and well. And living means evolving. I couldn’t agree with Kathryn more.
