Your start to building good relations with Danish people
Get a good start with Danish so that you are able to get by in everyday situations where you communicate with Danes. Perhaps you are travelling to Denmark, perhaps you are already here - in either case, being able to speak Danish will be a source of great pleasure.
On all Studieskolen's courses, our focus is on learning to speak the language. After all, the main goal for all who study Danish, and especially beginners, is being able to talk to Danish people.
Right from the start, you get a good vocabulary. Words and phrases that you can put to immediate use when handling a number of everyday situations in Danish, such as when you want to:

• have a simple conversation


• order food and drinks at a café or restaurant


• introduce yourself and your family


• read and write simple texts


• say numbers, days, dates and times


• fill out a basic form

At the same time, you will get an understanding of the basics of Danish language and you will also get an introduction to Danish culture and society.

Pronunciation
We have special focus on Danish pronunciation as this is crucial for being understood in - and understanding - Danish. You will practise how to pronounce the different sounds unique to Danish, and gain a familiarity with how the melody of a Danish sentence should sound.

Teaching materials
This course uses the teaching material Danish to Go - a comprehensive approach to learning Danish developed exclusively by Studieskolen.
Danish to Go consists of a textbook, a workbook and an interactive website. Each chapter uses material from all for an integrated and comprehensive learning experience - the best way to learn Danish.
You will use the textbook and workbook in class and the website for further learning and exercises. The website has sound, video, practice exercises and online resources with grammar and vocabulary.

The teaching materials are included in the course price. The teacher will hand out the books in class, and you will also be given access to our online learning platform Moodle where you can communicate with your teacher, check your homework and get up-to-date information.

In the afternoons and evenings, you can participate in lectures on Danish language and culture, as well as a series of field trips, workshops and social events.
