Hi all!

We’re very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we’re set on a place to live for a while.

Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

      American here, got stationed in Italy for a few years. Learning Celsius was easy with this in mind:

      0 freezing
      10 cool
      20 nice
      30 hot
      40 sweltering

      If you need to do the actual calculation, double the celsius value, subtract the tens digit (i.e. -10%), add 32. For example:

      Double it: 20 * 2 = 40
      Subtract the tens digit: 40 - 4 = 36
      Add 32: 36+32 = 68

        It’s easier to just remember a few key values and estimate based on those. I know the conversions for every ten degrees Celsius from -10 to 30
