Danish language skills make it easier to settle down – and look good on a CV

Why take Danish classes?

Danes are among the word's best speakers of English as a foreign language. Yet, learning Danish is an unvaluable tool when navigating the Danish labour market - whether you are looking to apply for Danish-language positions or simply improve your relationship with your colleagues.

Where can I learn Danish?

Danish courses at various levels are offered by language centres across the country. For an overview of all centres and courses on offer, visit the website of the Danish Language Centres.
