How are Ahlburg Danish lessons structured?

Structure of lessons

The structure and content of the Danish lessons will always be tailored to your exact needs. However, some things are similar for every type of lesson, and this document will walk you through the general structure of the Danish lessons.

After reading this, you will know exactly what to expect and you can have your complete focus on learning the Danish language.

How the online lessons work

Most of our lessons will be held via Google Meet. After signing up for the lessons, you will receive individual invites with a link to join the online lesson.

Some companies do not allow Google Meet, and in those cases, we will use Microsoft Teams or Zoom instead.

It will be possible to record lessons via Google Meet. A recording can be useful if you want to revisit some grammar rules, or you are preparing for an exam.

During your first lesson, you will receive a link to a shared document which will be used like an online black board. In here we will write notes, explanations, tasks, and everything else you need to remember from each lesson.

Which study material is used for the lessons?

In our lessons we will primarily use the material called “Trin for Trin” and “Bliv klar”. This is approved and recommended material for learning Danish, and it meets the requirements of the different modules and exams.

We will always help you find the correct material based on your level and needs. In most cases, the material can be shipped to you in a physical format. This can be an advantage, as you will be able to write in it during our online lessons.

Your needs are our goal

Do you have special requests for our lessons? Most of the time we can make it happen. Just reach out to us and we will do our best to find the best solution for you.

A free online introductory meeting

We always offer a free online introductory meeting. During the meeting we will ask about your Danish speaking level, needs, and goals. Based on this information we will tell you how we can give you the best possible experience of learning the Danish language and culture.

We are here to help you learn in your preferred way.
