You and your group can be trained by our native speaker qualified Danish teachers, and can meet at your place of work or home at a time convenient to you. Tutorials can take place any day of the week, including weekends, and can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening. If your home or office is not suitable for you, you can attend the lesson at the teacher's offices. You will be provided with all relevant lesson materials.
These Danish lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Danish - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Danish culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Danish examination.
These Danish Lessons are intended for people who really need to learn Danish to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic lesson for Beginners, students should expect to end the lesson with basic Telephone Danish and e-mail Danish skills for communications as well as Survival Danish required for short visits to a country.
The Danish lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One Danish Lesson or Small Group In-Company Danish Lesson). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster Danish Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.
Unusually, Danish does not have particularly noticeable multiple dialects
Danish used to be spoken by many people in the north of England, and some terms (like 'gate' being used in road names) still survive in areas like Yorkshire
The Old Norse language is responsible for most Danish vocabulary, and words can be compounded by combining other words together. German, French and English also lend their fair share of vocabulary

Kitchener
The town of Kitchener recently celebrated its sesquicentennial, and the city has seen a lot of growth in those 150 years. Once known as 'Berlin', Kitchener has gone from a few thousand residents to over 200,000 as listed in the most recent Canadian census in the area. Kitchener is a get-your-hands-dirty, blue collar kind of city, with many of the top industries in town revolving around the automotive parts business. The city experienced a boost recently with the opening of a new university campus in the heart of the city. In addition to the jobs this school created, it has also brought an influx of young, ambitious people into the area. Now, there are more languages than ever being spoken in Kitchener making it a great time to learn a second language.
