Dansk - Basisniveau 1 (A2)

Speak Danish!

On the course Danish – Basic Level 1, you will become more confident and fluent when speaking Danish with others.

You will practise conversations about topics such as:

• What you did before you came to Denmark
• What you are doing in Denmark and how long you are planning to stay
• Work, education and job opportunities

You will expand your vocabulary and grammar so you can express yourself in more detail when talking about everyday topics with family or friends.

We also talk about places, and you will learn how to explain where something is in relation to something else.

Of course, we also work with listening and video exercises to help you understand spoken Danish better.

Pronunciation is very important, so we work on it in every lesson.

Teaching materials developed at Studieskolen

The course material Danish 2 Go is a textbook system developed by teachers at Studieskolen especially for Studieskolen students. We use Danish 2 Go 2, which follows directly on from Danish 2 Go 1.

Danish 2 Go 2 consists of two books, a coursebook and an activity book, which you use in class, as well as an extensive learning site with audio, video, exercises and resources on grammar and vocabulary.

We work with chapters 1-3.

• A video featuring four recurring characters in typical everyday situations
• An introduction to new vocabulary through short texts and listening exercises
• An introduction to pronunciation and pronunciation exercises
• Speaking exercises and activities, including conversation practice
• A range of vocabulary and grammar exercises
• Writing exercises

The teaching materials are included in the course fee. The teacher will hand out the books in class, and you will also automatically get access to our online learning platform, Moodle.

How does the course work?

The course uses blended learning. In class, we focus on spoken Danish and conversation practice, work on pronunciation and do some grammar.

You will also need to spend a significant amount of time studying at home on your computer, working with listening comprehension, reading and writing exercises.

Classes are taught primarily in Danish, with English used for support when needed.

The course moves at a fast pace, and the level of instruction is the same as in Danish Education 3.
