These Danish lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Danish by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough Danish to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Danish culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Danish exam.
These lessons in Danish are meant for those that feel that learning Danish would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's lesson, students can anticipate ending the lesson with basic telephone Danish and e-mail Danish skills for communicating, as well as survival Danish if a short visit to the country is needed.
Lessons in Danish are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One Danish Lesson or Small Group In-Company Danish Lesson). All those involved must have around the same experience of the language, similar needs of areas of proficiency, and must be able to work at the same time and place. Bookings must be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advise classes of more than 6-8 people, although In-Company Taster Danish sessions can be run with as many as 12 people.
Scandinavian languages are all pretty much mutually intelligible, meaning that native speakers of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish can understand each other with little difficulty
Danish used to use a Runic alphabet, but nowadays is written in the standard Latin alphabet, with the addition of three other letters: æ, ø, and å
Unusually, Danish does not have particularly noticeable multiple dialects

Baton Rouge
While the eyes of the world were focused on the post-Katrina recovery of New Orleans, lost was the never-ending spirit of the people of Baton Rouge, the capital city of Louisiana. Also hit hard by the massive storm, Baton Rouge provided a steadying influence on residents of the state at a time when things looked their most dire. The 70th largest city in the United States, Baton Rouge is a unique place with a colorful history tied to French, American and Native American tradition. Proximity to the mouth of the Mississippi River has made it a major port for importing and exporting of goods in the United States. Currently, Baton Rouge is home to over 200,000 residents many of whom work in the state political offices found in the heart of the city. The makeup of Baton Rouge is as unique as its name, with a healthy mixture of American, African-American, Creole and other heritages. Getting in touch with the unique history of this wonderful city is easy for those who take the time to learn a foreign language.
