Good heavens, yes! 
The two of them can hardly be compared.
Our Marie speaks near perfect Danish with only a slight accent. While PH speaks Danish with a very heavy accent and with constant basic grammatical mistakes. - He's understanding of Danish however, must be near perfect, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch the many innuendos and word-plays instantly which he likes so much. But his spoken Danish is pretty poor.
Both Marie and Mary are lightyears past that point!
However, it's my impression that Marie, who seems to have a talent for languages, is at a level where she instantly picks up the subtleties of the language. Where Mary sometimes seems to have a problems either understanding it or picking it up. Latest at the Icelandic state visit where the President did a little stand-up comedy. We saw a clip of M&F and M&J together. It looked to me like Marie got it, while Mary did a: what did he say?/what did he mean?
But while Mary speaks Danish at a academic level, Marie use a more simple Danish. - Perhaps that's the way to do it?
Thanks, Iceflower.

Another interesting activity for Marie! Great that she supports students debating about global issues.

Thanks for the pics. 
That's a seriously proud Marie!
I did some research into the order and as far as I can tell our Marie (it's okay, Eya  ) is now officer of the Legion of Honour.
That's the second of the five classes.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I appear to be wrong, because according to BB, Marie is now Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour. That's the second highest grade. - It comes with a star to be worn on the right side. But I guess it was only the order itself that was pinned to her chest.
Apart from PH and Joachim, Marie's family had also flown in to witness the ceremony. Her father in particular was very moved.

It seems to me that the French Legion d'Honneur is awarded for just being married to a right person or into a right family.
