Mika Christensen

Mika’s classes continue to be fun and interesting. We dealt with two current events and in the process of becoming more aware of international news, I learned / reviewed more than 15 verbs in present and past tense in context, which will certainly make them easier to apply and use when speaking. Mika is very good about getting me to use new words and structures immediately and I appreciate his clear and helpful explanations.

Today’s lesson was really fun in addition to being informative as Mika’s plan of reading/discussing an article serendipitously coincided with my watching of the long-running Danish series “Borgen”. I learned quite a few structures and Mika gave me several tools for using phrases and sentences that we learned in other contexts.

Great intro with Mika. He did an excellent job of dealing with the fact that even though I’m a beginner I have an interest in learning via articles. He was very friendly, supportive, and gave great tips on some key differences in how words are written vs. how they are pronounced by native speakers, which I really appreciated.

Mika always comes up with really interesting content and for me this is a really helpful way to learn the language. He provides a great mix of practical vocabulary, everyday language, and important structural details which is rapidly increasing the range of things that I can say.

I really enjoy the classes with Mika, where we read an article and talk about the subject related to the text. Mika encourages to talk and gives many examples how you can express yourself in Danish, which boosts your language skills
