Student case
Language is the key to society
Seungmi Nam
Project Manager, DTU
Is is essential to learn Danish
At DTU there are many international colleagues, and the working language is English. Nonetheless, it has been essential for Seungmi to learn Danish. – Most of my close colleagues are Danes and it is a huge advantage to be able to speak Danish with them, for example during lunch breaks, says Seungmi. – It is without a doubt easier to be part of the community because I know the language. I can also tell that it is nice for my colleagues to be able to carry out meetings in Danish.
The code for the Danish language
When you come from a completely different part of the world, the Danish language is not easy. Grammar and pronunciation is so fundamentally different that it requires a big effort to master the Danish language. But, according to Seungmi, the teachers at Speak have been really good and patient. – I have had several teachers and they have all been so nice, professional and, last but not least, patient. Thanks to them, I have gradually cracked the code to the Danish language and I get better every day.
Even though Seungmi got a job, she still studies at Speak in order to improve her language and knowledge about Danish culture. Because there is a large variety of schedule options, it can easily be fitted in with her daily routine with work and children. – During the course, we also learn a lot about Danish society, e.g. culture, food and politics. With the election coming up, it is particularly important to learn what the different parties and candidates stand for.
Besides following Danish language courses, Seungmi also attends “language club” with her classmates every Wednesday, where she speaks Danish more informally and prepares for the classes.
The Danish language opens doors
Seungmi has experienced that it is more difficult to get in touch with other people when she speaks English – -it sets barriers. Also in her private life it has been an advantage to speak Danish. – To me it is important to be able to speak with my children’s classmates, their parents and the teachers at school. I can tell that it opens doors for me and my family. Our future is here in Denmark, so of course we must be able to speak Danish.
Three tips from Seungmi for others who want to learn Danish fast
1. Watch Danish series
There are lots of good Danish TV-series with subtitles. They can help you learn the language and culture faster. The TV-series “Borgen” is really good.
2. Don’t be afraid to speak Danish
If you are not that fluent, it can be a bit over the top to speak Danish with, for instance, your neighbors. But do it anyway -the more you speak, the faster you will learn.
3. Watch today’s news on DR
You can subscribe to the news that are broadcasted every day by DR. This is a good way to know what is going on while you also get to know the Danish language.
