Learn Danish for free

In Denmark we would like our foreign newcomers to learn to speak Danish. All adult foreigners who move to Denmark are therefore offered courses in the Danish language.

Classes are free, since being able to speak and write Danish is an important prerequisite for becoming part of the Danish society. However, a deposit, DKK 2,000, reimbursable according to the actual rules, will be charged.

The education consists of 5-6 modules. 

It is an advantage to be able to master the language, both in relation to your workplace and in your spare time.

The fact that you attend Danish classes and try to speak Danish shows that you are interested in the Danes and the Danish culture, and it will facilitate quicker integration into the social life of both the workplace and in your sparetime, in relation to neighbours and others you might meet through association activities.

If you bring children to Denmark, it is also important to be able to speak the language, so you can keep up with their development, because children very quickly pick up a new language when they use it in day care institutions or at school.

As a parent of the school it is also of vital importance that you can keep up and support the children in their schoolwork. Both you and the children will learn Danish more easily when you use it at home.
