Course Structure:
Learning a language can be hard, especially if you don't live in a country where it is spoken. The thing is, it doesn't have to be hard and tedious work. All it takes is a structured approach and a little bit of consistency.
The course is divided into 7 "weeks" to provide structure and allow you time to absorb the topic of each lecture without sacrificing the pace of the course. Every week consists of 3 video lectures, with supplementary materials that reinforce the concepts you have learned.
You are, of course, welcome to work your way through the course faster or slower than the suggested 7 weeks. However, make sure that you move at a fast enough pace to allow you to retain what you have learned, and slow enough that you have time to internalize what is being taught and commit it to your long-term memory.
From this course, you will learn Danish and be able to use it when you are done!
Additionally, since Danish is one of the Scandinavian languages it is very similar to both Swedish and Norwegian. Taking this course will thereby not only help you be able to communicate with native Danes, but also with most Swedes and Norwegians.
This is what you can expect:
7 weeks of engaging learning material, including videos, texts, tests and other exercises.
22 lectures and over 2 hours of video content.

I'm a professional Danish teacher, having received my bachelor's of education at N. Zahles Seminarium, in Copenhagen Denmark. I have more than 10 years of experience, teaching Danish as a Second Language (DSL) in Denmark, Iceland and the United States. I have worked with various ages/levels of DSL learners ranging from beginners to advanced students of all ages, in both classrooms and in private settings.
In 2014 I started a private tutoring business in Austin, Texas, teaching Danish to several students at various levels.
In my spare time I freelance as a Danish-English/English-Danish translator of both written and spoken material. I have also interpreted at several international conferences.
I am married to an Icelander and we are currently raising our 2 children in a trilingual home. Language education is an integral part of my day-to-day life.
