Both kids should practis talking german if that is your native language.
During the weekdays the kids are in school (4 and 9 grade). In the weekends and School-vacation they are home.
🇫🇴 I am originally from the Faroe Islands, which means the children's and my family/relatives live in the Faroe Islands 1400 km away from Denmark.
🗣 Daily we speak Faroese at home, but we all speak fluently Danish, and we all speak english 💬

Since we are a family with children, I require that workawayers who apply:

🚍 we live approx 2 km from city center. Public transport in Denmark is quite good, and buses stop 400 m from our home.
✈️ Aalborg has an international airport you can travel directly to or from Aalborg to some other European countries. If you planning to arrive with an aeroplane, then please check the price to go directly to Aalborg from your destination.
🚞 It takes about 4-5 hours to travel from Copenhagen airport (Kastrup) to Aalborg with car or train and approx 3 hours from Billund airport. check prices for the train on DSB website or Flixbus for cheap bustickets.
I will mostly be able to Pick workawayers up from Aalborg airport or bus/trainstation.
