Learning Danish is a challenge - but more interesting and fun with a good guide I have many interests, open minded as I am, so we can always find something to talk about - in Danish :) I taught over 6000 online lessons in Danish, one-on-one. I started teaching online 10 years ago. Before then, I was teaching English (one-on-one) in China. I passed a lot of long and short courses in teaching and studying techniques. I am supportive and patient, and very understanding, because I study a language myself :) With a well prepared student we change activity every 5 - 10 minutes. I give help with efficient studying techniques. I teach adults :) My goal for a lesson is to hear you speak Danish minimum half of the lesson :) BEGINNERS: The first 6 to 10 lessons we focus on pronunciation and (simple) conversation: questions and answers. I make pronunciation a lot easier with simple phonetics. We start simple conversation from our first lesson. Pronunciation often includes practicing problem sounds, so 2 - 3 weekly lessons are optimal the first 6 lessons. INTERMEDIATE: We focus on listening and speaking, and sentence building. We have conversation, exercises of all kinds, impromptu, dictation, role plays, you name it. If we identify gaps in your basics, we fill in. I send you a lesson plan with homework after the lesson, same day.

Jørgen came prepared with ideas of resources we could use to achieve my goals, listened to my current level, allowed me to share my own thoughts on what I am missing in terms of language development and provided valuable feedback. I am looking forward to progressing my Danish with his help!

Jorgen is a great teacher, very organized, fast paced lessons. I have learned a lot of Danish with him, quickly. Highly recommend.

Again a great lesson. Jørgen points out my mistakes, so that I can correct them, but at the same time gives praise and compares to former performances. Thus, I am motivated to go on - despite summers heat...

It is a pleasure to learn Danish with Jørgen. He is a patient teacher, and helps me a lot to improv my pronounciation, by writing very simply the phonetics. I feel like I have already gained a lot of confidence in trying more often to speak Danish, after only a few classes! Recommended teacher :)

This was my first lesson in danish at all. Jørgen was patient and helpful. The atmosphere was very good. We have plan for the next lessons. I feel motivated and curious. My pronunciation mistakes were corrected. I definitely recommend this teacher.

Fantastic teacher, I feel that even with a couple of weeks break, Jørgen makes it very easy to go back to
