Eating out

When we travel, we often eat out. This could be in the restaurant of a hotel, we are staying in, in a café, a restaurant. Since we are often hungry once we settle at an available table, it can be good to know a few things in advance.

Skiing

When going down the snow-covered slopes of the Alps or enjoying the vast snowy Norwegian plateaus, you may wonder about the vocabulary related to skiing.

Easter

At Easter time, Easter bunnies lay their chocolate eggs in people’s gardens.

Hopeful children search the flowerbeds for surprises left by the bunnies, and parents are only too happy to see their flowerbeds being cleared out. These are just some of the traditions people connect with Easter.

Making conversation

Danes often feel uncomfortable when meeting Americans they don’t know. What are you supposed to answer when Americans greet you saying: “Hello. It’s so good to meet you. How are you?”

Accomodation

Often, travelling includes spending one or more nights away from your own safe and comfortable bed. Then you need to find another place to sleep. Accommodation is such a place to stay when you are away from home. It can be a hotel, B&B, a hostel etc.
