Learn Danish

Several language schools offer a wide variety of courses. Plenty of online material exist to get started. It is even possible to start before you arrive in Copenhagen in online courses.

Some schools are paid for by the state, some have to be paid for by your employer (institute) or yourself- which might change periodically with new tenders.

Online Material

Duolingo (free)

Duolingo offers a broad range of topics and example sentences. If you use their website, instead of their app, you can do as many exercises as you want for free and have additional explanations on the grammar. Furthermore the website-version of duolingo offers free typing - which will force you to remember Danish a lot more than only assembling single words to phrases.

Babbel

Berlin-based Babbel has - end of 2020 - a paid basic language offer for Danish. Some people prefer their course over getting started in Duolingo.
