My guess is that's the majority view, though of the Danes I know (mostly younger and internationally oriented), they tend not to put as much emphasis on the language specifically, and more on culture. When there was some discussion over mandatory Danish lessons for employees at my university, a few people half-jokingly suggested that if the goal is to integrate foreigners into Denmark, then it would make more sense to start with mandatory bicycle lessons, since this is one of the bigger integration failures. Then move on to explaining the rules for building smørrebrød, an introduction to drinking beer from a can while sitting on the side of a canal, etc... and language only much further down the list of integration nice-to-haves. (From a practical perspective, I do think bicycling is more important to integration into local culture, at least in Copenhagen, than language! But parts of Copenhagen are already de-facto English-speaking, especially trendy nightlife areas like Vesterbro... perhaps not as much as Berlin, but getting there.)
