I ama danish kid who is in the 7th grade and i work at a local shop with over 300 people coming there daily

This is the purest AMA I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!

I visited Copenhagen a few years ago (I live in the US). Absolutely LOVELY city. The people were incredibly nice and patient with non-Danish speakers like me and my wife.

Question - What is your favorite product that is sold at your store? Second question - how many hours, and what hours, do you usually have to work in a week?

my boss sometimes lets me get off 1 hour earlier to see my family

​

copenhagen is a really nice city yes indeed

my favorite product is probably fastelavns bolle

It sounds like you have a very nice boss!

Fastelavns bolle looks delicious :)

Thank you for responding!

no problem yes

Very sweet AMA. Do you enjoy your job?

yes! but the only thing is that since black friday ive been so tired aha

I didn't know that Black Friday was also a thing in Denmark - how many hours did you have to work on Black Friday? Did you have to start really early?

i normally work 4-5 hours but i worked 7 hours that day, and it isnt like they all run in and anything. they just go looking around and buy some things

Hey dude! What kind of games did you buy and is there anything you're looking forward to?

i bought gta 4 san andreas and 5, i am saving up for vr and i just bought a new screen

Have you tried vr on the ps?

Yes, and its so cool! Ive also tried pavlov, beat saber, ans job simulator

Cool, I've only tried psvr, Oculus rift and mobile(Samsung)

My thought, wait with buying and get it when it's more common and minimal w/ bugs and other issues.

Also, just a suggestion, don't buy a new console or PC right out the gate, there are many great deals in wait and a lot of money to save with patience.

I am actually saving up for a new pc because the one i have now is ok but not the best.

Can u or do u have a friend who can assemble PC, cause that's a money saving skill aright there, also, if you're a GeForce fan, they often lower the price heavily on their latest model when releasing a new one.

I assemble my own computers, and i buy my owm parts

First of all, I am a high school English teacher in the USA and want to say that your English is great!

My questions:

-Who is your favorite Danish band/singer?

-What are some popular trends at your school? (clothing, music, memes, sayings, expressions, whatever)

-What is your favorite season in Denmark?

-Have you ever heard of Solvang in California? It’s a little town, about 3.5 hours drive from Los Angeles, and it is basically a living museum of Danish culture.

-Do you understand Norwegian and/or Swedish? Would you speak to a Norwegian or Swedish person in English if they came into your shop?

Thanks in advance for your answers! I studied Danish a few years ago to prepare for a trip to Copenhagen and really enjoyed it!

1. Probably D.A.D

2.everyone is hypebeasts other than me, and memes

1. Winter, i like the cold

2. I have yes and it is cool!

3. I understand norwegian and it is basically almost the same as Danish, and if they dont understand you in Danish you can talk english as everyone in Scandinavia understands english

Thanks for the questions and thanks for everything!

I am so proud of your lovely work ethic! Denmark seems like a really cool place and it is so great that you can work at a shop doing what you love! What is your favorite game, and where do you see yourself in five years? Do you have a career that you would like to get into or have any ideas what you would like to study at university?

I was working really hard when I was your age (I'm 35 now) to pay for videogames and electronics stuff and to be able to eat the food that I like, but I really wish that I had saved better so I could get things when I was older like a nice bicycle or car. I really hope that you continue working hard at your studies and that you get your choice of university and career!

There was this book, now widely discredited, that says it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something - but I have found that curiosity and wonder can really make that time much less and go by more quickly. From an old guy who took most of his life to figure out a lot of things - just keep doing what you enjoy and soak up as much time with friends and family as you can. I really enjoyed computers and now I work as a systems engineer, but there never was a moment when I was younger where it seemed like work or I was trying to prepare for a career... I just wanted to know how it all worked and put stuff together myself.

Thanks for making my day a little better and letting me connect for a second with 13 year-old me!

I will reply to this after school bc im on my way to school now, but thanks for now. My favorite games are the gra games, assassins creed aeries and the walking dead games

i want to be an architect in the future, and i wanna work in an architect school? Idk what they are called but ty for the questions

hvilken slags kød er din favorit?

Kylling eller pork

opfølgende spørgsmål: er det at spise eller at tilberede imens du arbejder? Kan også godt bruge svar på begge hvis du har tid.

begge, jeg elsker at pakke ind kylling siden det er nemmest, og jeg elsker at spise kylling

What is the least legal age you can work at in Denmark?

Did it start snowing in Denmark?

What do you want to be when you get older?

Did you ever have a conversation with a rude customer, and if you did, how did you handle it?

Very neat AMA. My great-grandpa on my dad’s side immigrated from Denmark sometime in the 1920’s and settled in Iowa.

My question is: Who is your favorite American musician?

Definitely the older eminem songs

Are there certain local bakery items that can only Be found in Denmark? If so what are they? And what are your favorite baked goods and what are the ingredients in them?

i dont know the ingredienst as i dont work at the bakery but my favorite baked goods are fastelavns bolleand pancakes!

How’s school kiddo?

it's going well, got a good grade and im good at math, i think its going goiod

Have you ever worked in the bakery?

No, but ive been in there to stral some cookies ahah jk, but ive just been there to look

Thanks for responding.

Yep.

What is that amazing looking dish your friend is making? I'm a picky eater but that looks so good.

I dont know the name but it is like a latke with ham cheese chives and mushroom i think???

Are there any good budge joints? What's your favorite burger joint?

i really like hardees / carl's jr

i like ´very much the chinken tenders

Hey. Fellow Dane here. What part of the country are you from? Are you planning on going to efterskole? What is your favorite Christmas tradition? Do you want to keep working at Kvickly?

1. Sønderjylland 2. No i think ill be going to htx 3. Eating flæskesteg 4. Yes, the people here are very sweet

How the heck do I say Smørrebrød?

I'm American and the only Danish pronunciation I learned is from the metro. People in Copenhagen laughed at me!!! (just joking, everyone was very nice)

Try to say smoerre broed, thats a little easier

Have a great day at school, and if you can reply after, I would like to know if you like sci-fi, and what you think will be the best inventions in the future?

A lot of us older people here are still waiting for our hover boards (levitating skateboards) but what would you like to see made real?

Ask your friends at school too (are you allowed phones at school any way? or at work?)

I like sci-fi, i would like that hover boards became a real thing like back to the future, we are allowed at work but not at school, ill ask Nicklas at work today but i will ask my class mates at school tmr!

In your opinion, what is the best thing about your generation and what is the worst?

Best, are memes and probably gaming computers. Worst, are probably far leftists

How much gaming are you involved in, I'm thinking in terms of league's, ladder ect. and the way some ppl behave on the mic. Maybe it's just me, but it seems to have gotten worse over the year's (noticeble the last 5)

Fyi, fellow Dane and gamer here (38) Very interesting you making your every-day-life into an AMA, just for fun or school related??

I go to esports every friday (i dont work on fridays) and i hope to be a good gamer (not necessarily pro) at csgo and some other fps games

Nice, that's a good standing, even if you don't go pro gaming helps you with some vital motorskills, but pretty sure you know that by know.

Fyi, I now tell u this, either u know and this then confirms it or most likely, u don't know or doubt this knowledge, but it is a fact and the internet can back me on this: U can literally learn anything - not everything or from one day to another, but over time anything can become yours. Only ur own true belief will be ur obstacle. One of ur everyday illusions right now is time, because of ur age, ur brain can't comprehend time reality, because it can only calculate within the time lapse u have existed. F.eks, if you double your age and think where will I be at that point, the brain has an idea of what u can achieve, but beyond that, 20-30 years from now, it can only reflect on ur surroundings, ur parents, ur grandparents or ppl within that age, teachers, bosses or ppl from the media.

If ur to sceptic, maybe think is a weird troll, just try taking a small thing, like a yoyo, exercise form, hobby u don't really know or maybe raping (I to am a Eminem fan) do it consistently for a month or to (minimum 20-30 minutes) and see the difference.

Sorry for the long post, though hope some of all my nonsense bear bread and riches u in a way, if not I'm sure a joke can come of it. Still some crazy Vikings left 😁

Yep, still some crazy vikings left

How do you manage school and work?

I go to school first and it ends at 1-1.30 and then i bicycle 1 km to work and then home to my family. I dont get stressed because i do too much tho

What time does your school start? 1-1.30 is quite a bit earlier than we get off, our school day ends at 2.50 pm

Starts at 8.15

So you are on the 7th grade (not sure if it is different in Denmark) you are like 13? So how much are you legally allowed to work and how did you get the job?

Hi! What's your favorite thing you've learned from going to school and working at the same time?
