Making friends (Part 2): Practical advice on making friends with Danes

Apr 22, 2021

In the previous episode of What the Denmark, we covered the theory on making friends in Denmark and why it can be more challenging than elsewhere.

In this episode, we leave behind the theory and dig deeper into the practical advice.

Our guests include Ana Sofia, a student from Portugal, and Emilie Møllenbach and Camila Vicenci who are a successful Dane/non-Dane friendship.

The episode starts with hearing the struggles that Ana Sofia has with reaching out and connecting with Danes.

Sam and Josefine then take a look at "The Strength of Weak Ties" and how the public and private spheres are quite distinct in Denmark.

We then hear from the successful friendship of Emilie and Camila, and how they can inspire others to make friends in Denmark.

Sam and Josefine finish with practical tips from research and experience. Spoiler alert: if you want to make friends with Danes - invite them around for a wine tasting!
