Dansk - Basisniveau 2 - online (A2)

Speak and understand Danish!

A course for you if you cannot attend regular classroom lessons

Here, you can learn Danish without coming to the school in person. There are two sessions a week, but they take place online, so you do not need to be physically present in Copenhagen.

To get the most out of the course, it is important that you also work on your Danish outside the two weekly sessions.

On the course Danish – Basic Level 2, the focus is on helping you become even better at speaking and understanding Danish. You will learn to talk about a range of topics, including:

• Music
• Books
• Films and TV series
• What you do in your spare time, for example going to a concert
• Summer holiday plans and travel

You will learn how to retell the plot of a book or film and talk about a holiday you have been on. You will also learn how to describe people in more detail. We talk about the body and moods, so you can explain in detail how you and other people are feeling and why you might be stressed or in a good mood. We also talk a little about illnesses, and you will build up useful vocabulary for situations such as explaining why you cannot come to work.

We will also cover some new grammar topics. For example, you will learn more about kunne, skulle and ville.

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 session.

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.

The material is online and includes an extensive learning site with audio, video, exercises and resources on grammar and vocabulary.

We work with chapters 4-6.

• 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, and you will also automatically get access to our online learning platform, Moodle.

How does the course work?

You will work on your computer with listening comprehension, reading and writing exercises. Twice a week, there is a joint online session where we focus on spoken Danish and conversation practice. We also work on pronunciation and some grammar.

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.

Practical information

Danish – Basic Level 2 corresponds to the second half of level A2 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

The course is for you if you already know some Danish, for example if you have completed all of module 1 of Danish Education 3 and Danish – Basic Level 1 at Studieskolen.

We expect you to spend approximately 4-6 hours a week on independent study.

You will need access to a computer with a reliable internet connection and webcam. It is also an advantage if you are comfortable using digital tools and learning online.

Our Danish courses are for you if you:

• Have completed at least 12 years of schooling
• Can speak English at a minimum of B1 level
• Have a basic understanding of grammar
