Learn Danish
To improve your Danish skills or simply learn the basics or even to get a better insight to life in Denmark, you might consider joining one of the classes offered by LærDansk. LærDansk offers both a Danish Culture Course and Danish Language Courses to university students.
Danish Culture Course
This is a free course and will give you an insight to some aspects of Danish Culture. In a series of lectures in English, students will get an insight to everday Danish life and culture, the welfare system and its history, an understanding of the educational system, Danish history, geography and much more.
In these courses, you will have the opportunity to prepare and taste Danish cuisine, visit museums and to attend talks given by leading experts in various topics.
Danish Language Courses
The Danish Language Courses are free, intensive Danish courses with experienced language teachers. The classes are for those who wish to learn Danish fast and efficiently, are motivated and would like to meet and interact with Danes in Danish while staying in Denmark.
Classes for international students are organised as a 16-week course and correspond to 3 ECTS points.
