Hej! I'm on maternity leave until the 15th of February and won't be offering any lessons on italki. Feel free to contact me .

My name is Amanda Christiansen. I'm from Copenhagen and work as a Danish lecturer at the University of Vienna. I have been teaching Danish as a foreign language since 2016. I hold a B.A. in Danish (2015), a M.A. in Scandinavian Studies (2018) and a M.A. in Teaching Danish (2019) as a Second/Foreign Language for Adults. Furthermore, being quite the language learner myself I'm very aware of the challenges and manage to apply my practical learner experiences into my teaching to create a confident, mindfulll space for my students.Me as a Teacher
I am convinced that confidence, motivation and a conscious learner approach are the main driving forces for effective language acquirement. I aim for you to enjoy and get a lot out of every class, and so although I am very structured, I also always apply a positive feedback loop, to make sure that the class, our approach and the work material stays in tune with yout learning style, interests and goals.My lessons & teaching style
During the lesson, we will practice pronunciation and speaking, read and discover new vocabulary and grammar aspects. I ALWAYS give my students homework - a mix of reading, writing, listening tasks to practice and internalize all the new language features from our lesson.
*****
"Not only does Amanda tailor the content of the course exactly to one's needs, she alprovides valuable background information as well as additional sources in order be able to deepen the understanding of the language in between classes. I also wanna highlight her focus on the spoken Danish while at the same time not neglecting the relevant theoretical information needed to get a good understanding." ChristianeMy teaching material

I had a great session with Amanda. She's lovely to speak with - patient, knowledgeable, and flexible. Highly attuned to her student's needs. I expect I'll be back for more!

I feel much more confident about Danish pronunciation than I did before starting lessons with Amanda. Really grateful for all her help!
