Class Experience

Students will learn basic phrases in Danish to get an idea for how the language is pronounced, as the written and spoken language are very different from English.  We will be using audio via headsets or microphones to listen and speak. Basic phrases such as "My name is " and "What is your name?" and "How are you doing?" and greetings will be covered. Additional phrases available upon student request.

Written Danish Examples and Special vowel sounds - 10 minutes

Learning Goals
Basic phrases such as "My name is " and "What is your name?" and "How are you doing?" and greetings will be covered. Additional phrases available upon student request. By the end of the class the student will be able to introduce themselves and communicate where they are from and ask someone if they speak English, and use basic greetings: Hello, Goodbye, Thank you, Please, Welcome, and Happy Birthday.

Supply List
Optional Sound Visualizer app to assist in allowing visual students to see their pronunciation. This is often used by deaf students who are learning to speak. It assists them with making proper mouth movements and creating the correct sounds with their tongue to replicate the sound waves they see on the visualizer. It can be very helpful in learning a language with very different vocal sounds than your native language.
