What is Danish Education?

Danish Education is a free, official offer for adult foreigners coming to Denmark.

In the official Danish Education courses, you will learn to speak, write, and understand Danish, enabling you to navigate both personally and professionally in Denmark.

 

Danish Education is basically free if you have a Danish CPR number and have lived in Denmark for less than 5 years (but not if you are a diplomat). If you are self-supporting, you must pay a deposit of DKK 2.000 before you can start. Read more about the rules for Danish Education here.

 

There are 3 Danish language programs; DU1, DU2 & DU3 and you are entitled to complete one of them. Which one is right for you depends on your background and qualifications.

 

Each Danish language course consists of 5 or 6 levels (modules). Before you can begin the Danish language program, you must attend an interview with a language consultant who will assess which of the 3 Danish language programs you should attend.

 

This ensures that you are placed in a class with instruction that matches your proficiency level.

 

You complete your Danish language program with an officially approved exam in Danish.

Learn Danish fast

At Speak, you will learn Danish quickly, so you can manage at work, in your studies, and in everyday life.

The Danish lessons are based on the language you need in Denmark. In the first modules, we focus especially on helping you quickly learn to manage in spoken Danish. Later, we also work with written language. Throughout all the modules, we emphasize helping you achieve a good Danish pronunciation.

At Speak, we offer many classes at all levels – during the day or in the evening. This means you will always be placed in a class that suits you and your needs. We start new classes every month for most of the year, so you can expect to be offered a class within a month after your interview, unless you have very specific requests.

We teach Danish at our departments in Hellerup, Frederiksberg, Lyngby and Helsingør. We also have classes at DTU Campus in Lyngby.
