Danish lessons tailored to the company's internal language
Develop your employees’ Danish skills and strengthen their self-confidence. When employees speak the native language, it strengthens company culture and work output – and increases job satisfaction.
Employees from abroad often say that language is a barrier to feeling like a true part of the company. Therefore, I offer tailor-made teaching courses that meet the employees’ unique needs for learning Danish, so they can be fully integrated into both the business and the social atmosphere at the company.
We teach students from some of the biggest firms in Denmark.
Flexible teaching structure adapted to your company
With packed calendars and focus on core business areas it can be difficult finding time for everything in an ambitious company. I therefore plan the teachings with you to make it fit both yours and the employees’ schedules.
I also design the lessons to fit your company’s unique needs for learning Danish. In this phase, I have my full focus on integrating the professional language characterizing your company.
The reason it is important to prioritize learning Danish as a company
If your company’s employees speak the same language and know the same culture, they work better together – and the company thereby becomes more efficient and makes more money.
It’s that simple.
When learning the language is prioritized for foreign employees, they feel welcome. They gain a better understanding of the society in which the company operates, and they feel a stronger connection to the company.
And thus, stay for a longer time.
The following operational benefits arise in a company when employees speak the same language:
- Greater cohesion
Cohesion among employees is fundamental for optimal work performance.
With goal-oriented and personal Danish lessons, I ensure that foreign employees easily adapt to everyday life and quickly achieve a strong unity with the rest of the company.
- Increased efficiency
When employees feel a sense of belonging to each other and the company, they find it easier to perform their best.
It creates this distinct feeling of “we pull together” – which increases work performance, efficiency, and job satisfaction.
- Greater employee retention
Once you have the employee with the right skills, you want to keep him or her. Good employees do not grow on trees, and most companies now know this well.
Therefore, making the employee feel welcome from the beginning is highly important. If the employee is offered Danish lessons when hired, it brings forth a unique feeling: “They want to invest in me – and I am valued here”.
The employee will reward you with gratitude and staying at your company. Because good employers do not grow on trees either.

Client testimonials
”Because the classes are catered to my needs and weaknesses, my mind is always alert and engaged. I get immediate helpful feedback on how to improve my speaking, reading, and writing. Thus, it has boosted my confidence to speak with more Danes outside of my friend group.
SharonSenior UX Designer, Milestone
”Being able to speak most part of the class is what I’ve been looking for, since that is the hardest part of learning a language. Building up the courage to start using the language outside of a safe classroom situation is a big challenge, so for me the biggest outcome is to dare using the language in daily situations.
DanielProduct Leader, LEGO GROUP
I value the flexibility of cancelling classes if necessary, luckily it doesn’t happen often but it’s good to have the option
”I know that it was the right choice to go with you as a private teacher as I really have felt that you tailored my lessons to my specific skill level, needs, and deadline. Unlike other classes I'd tried previously, I always looked forward to your lessons and the pleasant dialog we would have.

The flexible and productive lessons allow me to balance the teaching with my work.Det er super fedt og også sjovt. Jeg kan godt lide mine lektioner, fordi det er informativt, men også sjove. Da jeg startede mine lektioner, følte jeg mig hurtigt afslappet.

”I really appreciate the fact that we get to focus on my weaker areas in order to prepare for PD3 the best way possible. I also really like that I get to practise speaking a lot so I can get better.
EleonoraMilestone
”I came to Denmark in 2018, working in all English contexts and without any knowledge of the language (and we don’t speak at home). Mikkel and I started to work together in 2020, and I have a very positive outlook on my progress. I will be taking the PD3 this year (2022), and feel I can speak and find my way around the language now with confidence.

RitaScientist, Novo Nordisk

AnaSenior Modelling Engineer, Vattenfall
”After the first 20 lessons, I can understand 60% of what my colleagues are talking about at work. I am more confident to communicate in Danish, even if it’s just a few words.
KristofSoftware developer, Dansk Scanning A/S
”The teaching met my needs and I am sorry I didn’t start immediately with Ahlburg Sprog instead of the local language school, as the teaching was better, and I learned much more in shorter period.
HanaHSEQ Manager, Siemens Gamesa
”My original motivation for learning Danish stemmed from my job, where I work for a Danish transport firm. Despite corresponding primarily in English, there are often times when it is essential I have a basic understanding of the Danish language; particularly when communicating with clients or colleagues based in Denmark. Mikkel has more than helped me achieve this.
Mariaproject manager, HCS
Mikkel is appropriately supportive and patient to my requirements. He has kept the lessons structured in a way that allows for variation, which helps keep them engaging and staves off any boredom.
I did have 25 lessons to improve my Danish and to prepare my self for the "Studieprøve". I am really satisfied, and I feel I got a lot out of the lessons.
I think the teacher is proficiently skilled and prepared for the lessons. I've gotten more out of it than I expected.
The teaching was professional and composed to my needs.
The teacher chose texts that were at my level and relevant to my study. The debate with the teacher based on the texts has allowed me to improve my oral communication on a more professional level than in the everyday life.
”I think that Ahlburg Sprog was a great way to prepare for the PD3 exam and complement the Danish courses at the language school. It allowed me to practice for the oral and the written parts of the exam, which I was lacking at the language school. I liked the flexibility of the lectures, both in terms of the time and focus, which was divided into the written and the oral part of the exam. I found the lectures especially helpful just before the oral exam, when we could focus on the specific exercises and presentation for the exam
KlaraStudent of MSc in Security Risk Management
”My goal is to pass the Danish language exam, module 5. Ahlburg Sprog customized the course structure and selected the right materials according to the exam.
ChenAssistant Professor in AAU, Adjunkt
'The course is a full and interesting professional language course. The course arrangement is proper, the lectures are very clear and organized, and language rules are explained very clearly. The exercise are well chosen for students
”I really enjoy learning Danish with Mikkel. He is a great teacher, always calm, supportive and positive. I would highly recommend him if you want a knowledgeable teacher who is dedicated to your learning.
Additionally, the flexibility with the course planning was essential for me and my busy schedule. Having the courses online was also a very positive aspect as it made it easy to follow from the comfort of your own desk and saved a lot of time.
DimitrisAssociate Professor, AAU, Lektor
”I managed to let go of the fear of speaking Danish and I got comfortable with making mistakes while speaking, that improved my confidence, and, a the same time, the language itself

”The proces of getting signed up was super easy and I was able to start taking lessons within a couple of days.
PeterUser Acquisition Team Lead & entrepreneur
The teaching is everything I hoped it would be. We have a structure with our lessons, but at the same time, we can deviate from that and start discussing anything I feel might be helpful.
Flexibility in the cirriculum and of the schedule are some of the greatest things.
”I’d recommend Ahlburg Sprog to others because the instructor has an excellent teaching approach and style. He has a keen sense of a student’s capacity for learning and strengths and weaknesses and can tailor lessons accordingly. You learn more than the language as well—you learn about the Danish culture and why Danes say what they say the way they say it. This makes you a better student. I enjoy every class.
PeterEmergency Management Specialist
”In every class there was a good amount of talking where the teacher corrects our

pronunciation and simultaneously writes down the sentences we are trying to make. So it is a visual system together with the speaking which allowed us to progress by practicing.
”Very positive.
KonradGraphic designer
It was a friendly atmosphere with a lot of conversations so you get a feel of trying out the language. The teacher was always replying to questions by explaining in a prompt and clear way.
”I highly recommend Ahlburg Language to others. You will see results! The teacher, Mikkel, is a professional in his field, explains everything very well and supplies additional materials.
Katerynaengineer
”This course helped me a lot in a short time to achieve a relatively high level of communication, to understand more in situations where Danes speak very quickly. The course helped me prepare for job interviews and get higher grades in school.
DanielaEducated accountant
If you need to learn the Danish language quickly, I would highly recommend Ahlburg Sprog. Mikkel is a very good and competent teacher.
”It was exactly the type of teaching I was looking for. The 1-2-1 online sessions gave me the possibility to improve my danish skills without having to readjust my daily schedule. With a small infant, that was a very important aspect. I appreciate a lot your flexibility to reschedule some of the sessions, even when it was last minute.
Ruxandraprocess consultant
The skype sessions were very effective, and there is nothing that could have been done better if we met in person.
I appreciated that you were focused to find topics that matched my interests.
”The best teaching progress was being able to read books completely in Danish and going to the shops and reading labels and items all in Danish and surprising myself that I understand the writing.
WinstonSale Executive Account Manager
”My goal was to get good grades at PD3 and be ready to work in Danish. Ahlburg Sprog helped me to get the grade what I wished for. I definitely recommend Ahlburg Sprog, because it was a great help to achieve my goals and feel more confident speaking Danish. Mikkel is extremely professional, helpful and friendly.

GreettaNurse
During the lessons there was a positive and fun atmosphere and it was okay to make mistakes. The mistakes were corrected immediately in an honest but encouraging way. It was easy to put the things I had just learned into use in my everyday life.
”I was afraid to make mistakes while speaking Danish. So I needed af teacher, who wanted to listen af correct me at the same time. For me the dialogs are therefore very important. It was my first time doing online lessons, so I had my doubts about the outcome. But now I can tell, that the flexible schedule and the tailored lesson fits me very well.
