Questions & Answers

We plan to offer you a class within a month of your initial interview. If you are open to multiple class options and have no special requests or requirements, it may be faster. If you have special requirements or requests for schedule, location etc. the process may take longer.

You can both book and cancel an interview for Danish language training via our booking system Geckobooking. You will be asked to create a profile in the booking system. If you already have an account, use your username and password to log in.

If you pass your module test and you want to continue, your class will usually continue with the same schedule on the next module. If you don’t want to continue, you need to tell your teacher during the test.
If you fail the module test, we will move you to another class where you will have the opportunity to repeat some of the lessons before taking the test again.
We usually offer you to take the same test twice. If you don’t pass the second time, we will move you to a lower level of Danish Language Education.

The modules of the different Danish language programmes vary in length depending on how much you need to learn. As you progress in level, the modules get longer. Unfortunately, we can’t give you a general answer to how long a module lasts, but you can always ask your teacher when your next test is due, or you can find the information at mit.speakspeak.dk.

If you are prevented from attending your lesson, you need to report it in our administrative system ludusweb.
If you don’t know how to do this, you can find instructions at mit.speakspeak.dk – direct link here.

No, Danish language education does not entitle you to SU.

We expect you to come to class every time and be on time. If you have online assignments, this also counts as classes. If you are absent twice in a row, you will normally be contacted by our administration. If we assess that you have too many absences to keep up with your class, you will be signed out. It will then be possible to continue in another class.
If you are prevented from attending classes, remember to register your absence in our administrative system ludusweb.
See here how to do this.

If you are an S-course student and have paid the deposit, you have limited time to complete the module to get your deposit refunded or transferred to the next module. Therefore, if you do not pass your module test within the time limit, you will be charged a new deposit when you register for the next module.
You can see the deadlines here.

We will send you a link to Microsoft Teams before your interview. The exact time we send you the link may vary. If you have not received a link, we recommend that you check your spam filter as emails may end up there.

You borrow the books we use in the programme. The books must be returned when the module is over or if you quit Speak. Therefore, you are not allowed to write in the books. If you want to buy a book, you can order it through a bookseller, we do not sell books on Speak. We have several different books, so it may vary which book your teacher uses.

Danish Language Education is a programme aimed at foreigners with a residence permit in Denmark (except diplomats).

Danish language education is free and must be taken within the first 5 years of your stay in Denmark. In some cases, you will have to pay a deposit before you can start Danish language education.

There are 3 different Danish language programmes; DU1, DU2 and DU3. You will be referred to a Danish Language Programme based on your linguistic and educational qualifications. Once you have completed a Danish Language Programme, you are done, regardless of whether you have completed DU1, 2 or 3. You do not move on to the “next” Danish Language Education.
Before you can start the Danish Language Programme, you must book an interview with one of our language consultants. You can read more about the Danish Language Programme here.
