Speak Danish!This course is for you if you have taken our beginner level part 1 or a beginners' course somewhere else.
In this course you will continue to strengthen your skills in speaking Danish in everyday situations, f.ex.: when you

• are shopping


• are eating at a restaurant or going to a café


• are speaking to your friends


• are taking the bus, train, or metro

We will talk about leisure time and interests, and you will learn to tell about what you are doing when you are not working or studying. You will also learn to explain what you did before, where you were, and what you will be doing later.
We practise expressing things that have happened in the past.
You will learn to express what you like, and what you don't like.
We will also work with listening and video exercises, so your understanding of spoken Danish keeps improving.

Danish pronunciationIt is critical that you acquire good Danish pronunciation, which is why, every time we meet, we focus on how to pronounce the different sounds unique to Danish, and how the melody of a Danish sentence should sound.

Teaching materials developed at StudieskolenThe teaching material Danish to Go is a learning system which is developed by teachers at Studieskolen specifically for Studieskolen's students.
The material consists of two books you will use in class, a textbook and an exercise book, as well as a comprehensive online learning site with sound, video, practice exercises, and online resources with grammar and vocabulary.
We will be working with chapters 4-6.
Each chapter consists of:

• A video with four main characters, experiencing typical everyday situations


• An introduction to new vocabulary with short texts and listening exercises


• An introduction to pronunciation and pronunciation exercises


• Verbal exercises and tasks, f.ex. conversation exercises


• A series of grammar and vocabulary exercises


• Writing exercises

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

How is the class conducted?The teaching form is blended learning, where in class we work with oral Danish and conversation exercises, we practise pronunciation and work a little on grammar.
At home on your own computer you will spend a lot of time working on listening comprehension, reading and writing exercises.
The class is held in Danish, but we use English as a helping language, f.ex. to explain grammar.

Practical informationThis course is for those who already speak some Danish, f.ex if you have already taken the first half of Danish Education 3 module 1, or Studieskolen's Danish for beginners - part 1.
Danish for almost beginners is the equivalent of the second half of level A1 in the Common European Framework Reference for Languages.
There are 5 lessons of 45 minutes in class per week.
We expect you to do homework 4-6 hours per week.
There will be 10-18 students per class.
