Скачать или смотреть Confused American in a Danish Grocery Store Check Out

Yeah, living in Denmark and moving abroad was like going back to being a 5 year old. I have a very limited vocabulary, doing adult things that I learned to do on my own decades ago are suddenly a challenge and I can’t read very well.
Things get easier and while I’m not fluent, I’ve learned more than enough Danish to get by - especially when a conversation is predictable. BUT whenever someone deviates from the script, I get thrown. This one will have me frozen in place while I’m the grocery store check out line. If I hear anything other than “Kvittering?” (receipt) I am lost. I also panic and say “Nej tak” (no thanks) on instinct. So when the cashier doesn’t ask me if I want the receipt and just said “godt dag” (good day) I still say “Nej tak” - which is basically
Then: “have a good day!”
Me: “no thank you”
.
Can anyone relate? 😂
