Yes, visiting Copenhagen’s Central Station someone asked us a question in Danish... we did Pimsleur Danish before we went, and the only part of his question we understood was “Excuse me.” The rest was utter gibberish to us, and we were barely able to say, “Sorry” (in Danish before we slunk off dejectedly. (Up to that point we thought we were doing rather well... for the few hours since we landed anyway.) Mind you about half of the Danish we learned were driving directions... which was kind of useless because we didn’t hire a car (the Metro/S-Bahn are useful and it’s a very walkable city.)
