Danish tutoring for companies

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.

I will be taking the PD3 this year (2022), and feel I can speak and find my way around the language now with confidence.”

Hana
HSEQ Manager, Siemens Gamesa

“The most important part of Ahlburg Sprog’s services was that the course was tailored to my learning habits and goals.
Flexibility, time/cost efficiency compared to conventional teaching methods in language-centers, tailored learning program, guidance for learning-by-living are just great.”

Volkan
Wind Offshore Procurement Manager, Vattenfall

“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.”

Dimitris
Associate Professor, Lektor, AAU

“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.”

Emergency Management Specialist

“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 requirement.”

Chen
Assistant Professor, Adjunk, AAU

“I am happy about the classes. Mikkel provides relaxing lessons and helps the students to improve the understanding of the Danish language.”

Ivaylo
Structural enegineer, Jan Boes Rådgivende Ingeniørfirma

“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.
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.”

Maria
Project manager, HCS

“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.”

Talita
Pattern designer

“Very positive.
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.”

Konrad
Graphic designer

“The proces of getting signed up was super easy and I was able to start taking lessons within a couple of days.
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.”

Peter
User Acquisition Team Lead & entrepreneur

“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.”

Kateryna
engineer

“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.
If you need to learn the Danish language quickly, I would highly recommend Ahlburg Sprog. Mikkel is a very good and competent teacher.”

Daniela
Educated accountant

“I am learning my 4th language and there’s definitely no better way to do it for me than practicing,.Ahlburg Sprog gives me the chance to fit in my schedule constant danish personalized classes where I can clarify all my questions and prepare for daily situations.
The teaching was beyond my expectations. Ahlburg Sprog have a conversation method that I don’t have anywhere else, once for beginners can be hard to use the danish on daily basis without getting the conversation switched to English. My teacher have always been extremely patient to hear and also correct my Danish towards grammar and pronunciation.”

Raquel
Educated doctor

“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.
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.”

Ruxandra
process consultant

“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.”

Winston
Sale Executive Account Manager

“I would definitely recommend Ahlburg Language school to others because it is a great program, and Mikkel is very helpful. He corrects me when I say something wrong, but lets me finish my thought and then will make the correction. I find this essential when learning because before I was afraid to make mistakes so I just wouldn’t speak, but now I have the confidence to speak even though it isn’t perfect. I think as a teacher Mikkel makes his students feel comfortable to make errors, which is important when learning a new language.”

Alexandria

“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.”

Barbara
Student

“There were tasks where one had to use the language freely, e.g. dialogues and writing exercises.
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.”

Greetta
Nurse

“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.

Maria

“I have had experience with schools where they teach Danish to foreigners but the experience with Ahlburg Sprog is much better. It is possible to focus on one thing a time and it gives deeper understanding about pronunciation.”

Ilze

Marko

“Mikkel provided excellent material that we were to study with him and at home. He was also concerned about developing our interests in the Danish language further, as he provided updated material concerning the danish culture, business and society.
Mikkel was not our first teacher in Danish, and to be honest we were lucky to meet him, as he managed to undo the chaos our first Danish teacher had created regarding the Danish language. Mikkel knew where to start from and how to continue. He was ready to understand our professional needs that at the time required a relevant command of the Danish language.”
