The primary language in Denmark is Danish.
English is spoken virtually everywhere. One of the highest English proficiency levels in the world — nearly universal, even outside tourist areas.
Learning "hello," "please," "thank you," "excuse me," and "the check please" in the local language goes a long way anywhere, including Denmark — locals consistently appreciate the effort.
It's rarely necessary given how widely English is understood in Denmark, but it doesn't hurt to have one as a backup.
