Many Danes can speak German, especially in the western region. I speak a very ugly German, but can read it. Then there's quite a few that can speak French, Italian, or Spanish. I speak a very basic Italian, and some imbecile French, I need dictionaries to read it.
And then we can speak the other Scandinavian languages, which are very close to our own (that is except Finnish which is completely foreign to the Western Scandinavians). Norwegian and Danish are practically the same language, and Swedish is close, but with a divergent vocabulary that can be a bit confusing.
The beautiful Slavic languages are very seldom mastered by Danes, even though they are our southern and eastern neighbours. And as I said Finnish is also a hard language to learn for Danes.
