GUARANTEED WAY TO LEARN DANISH FAST!
Learn to chat in parties
Have you ever wished you could properly integrate into Danish society? One of the staples in achieving that is being able to chat among friends or acquaintances at parties. You’ll be surprised to learn how much of this is a matter of confidence than it is of grammar! Learning to chat at parties can be your way to really feel & live as a local, it can be a door to relationships of all types. From professional to romantic.
Use slang and the most common words in Danish society
One of the biggest issues with language school is that it teaches students to sound like they’re always speaking to the Queen. If this is your goal then we cannot help you, but in case it isn’t we can equip you with Gen Z terminology, common phrases that exist in daily culture but school never taught, and words to express yourself like a local.
Role play as a cashier, customer, doctor, and more.
Do you buy your toilet paper in Danish? It is an issue if it isn’t. Our classes will teach you to role play as cashier/customer, so that you can learn things like where items are, how you will pay, do you need a bag, what to do if your card was declined, and much more.
Focus on Accent, Tonality, and Pronunciation
Schools actively tell students to not care about accent, yet it is the #1 demand from students. In our classes we help you sound as Danish as possible. Tonality is an important part of every language and communicates beyond the words, if you have a Spanish tonality when speaking Danish, this will always confuse the locals. Just as it would be odd if you had a Danish tonality when speaking Spanish!
Understand customs and culture
There are behaviors that are native to each culture, and it’s important that they are communicated & taught to expats. Expats & National both learn Danish in schools, but the nationals get social exposure while expats do not. This is the primary method of language acquisition & we make this possible by creating a safe environment for it in our simulations before we all go as a group to engage in Danish society.
Integrate your personality in Danish
Learning a language without your personality is robotic. Our classes bring out the confidence you already have, by practicing to speak Danish with us as a group. We achieve this by going to bars, picnics, and more where we socialize as a group, learn to make jokes, and show off our unique self in Danish. There’s no better way to adopt Danish than to express it back with your own ideas & words. We provide the space for that.

“Can definitely recommend
I was looking for a class that offers a more personal approach to learning danish, especially when it comes to speaking. I struggled with pronunciation at the regular Danish classes and Dore helped me in gaining confidence with their pronunciation classes and city walks classes. I had a lot of fun as well!

“Very useful!
Very useful classes! They focus not on the textbook Danish, but on the real-life every-day use of the language. Teachers are friendly, nice, and create a super cozy learning environment. There is room for all levels and everyone learns a lot. It's especially useful if you already have a relatively good level of Danish but you lack confidence to speak! They put a lot of focus on pronunciation and on the speaking part of Danish.

LEAN MORE ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF DANISH COURSE FOR FOREIGNERS
Learning Danish as a foreigner opens up a world of opportunities for cultural integration, social interactions and also for professional growth. Even when you are a foreigner, there is o reason why you should be an outsider and not living your life to the fullest.
Communication is vital and it becomes even more evident when you find yourself in a new country, unable to make yourself understood or having no idea of what others are telling you! Besides overcoming communication obstacles, learning the local language facilitates building meaningful relationships and community ties. You will feel a member of the community or neighbourhood, and also be treated as such. Speaking the local language simply builds rapport, shows respect and effort to belong.
Language is also the key to understanding local customs and traditions, in this case the Danish ones. Through language you open the door to understanding and appreciating local etiquette, differentiate subtle meanings and avoiding misunderstandings. You will learn to behave appropriately in each situation and according to your peers. You will also be able to speak about the traditions of Denmark, how they differ from yours and why. Cultural sensitivity is a great asset and is best learned by first learning the local language.
If you are a foreigner living in Denmark, speaking Danish will boost your professional opportunities and career advancement. The more you master the local language, the better employment prospects you have, Danish being a necessity for many professions. Even if Danish is not needed for performing your work, speaking Danish will demonstrate commitment and adaptability.

WHAT OTHER KIND OF DANISH COURSES ARE AVAILABLE?
Learning a new language can happen in many ways. As you see below, they all come with pros and cons, but we strongly feel that our way, the social discussion form of real time interactive setting provides the best results in least time and with important extra benefits.
1.LANGUAGE SCHOOLS WITH PHYSICAL ATTENDANCE
The old way of learning a new language is to book yourself a place in a language school and starting from zero, step by step through vocabulary and grammar. However, this method requires substantial commitment in time, effort and often even in money. According to most official sources, learning decent Danish takes around 575 hours or 24 weeks of regular study…that is almost 6 months! Sure, you could always register yourself to the Aarhus University and its free Danish lessons, but with certain restrictions as to who can attend plus the fact the skills are still acquired in normal classrooms in various locations. Not fast, not easy, and definitely not fun!
2. ONLINE LANGUAGE APPS AND PLATFORMS
We live in the world of apps, so naturally there are several apps that allow you to learn Danish. All at your own comfort, where and when you choose to learn. You will utilize multimedia resources and some providers even offer some level or interactive learning. If you have internet to use, you can be living or travelling anywhere in the world and still learn the language you want, also Danish. But bear in mind, this is a lonely way to learn and you will not necessarily be guided how to communicate in a specific social setting important to you, say, at the restaurant or at a doctor΄s appointment. You will not be able to develop your speaking skills as that requires real-time interaction, pronunciation practise and feedback from native speakers. You will not get tailored content, nor receive immediate professional feedback. Moreover, nobody will follow your progress and you are thus free to be lazy in your learning path, as discipline and consistency are hard to maintain alone. And you will definitely not get insights to the Danish way of life or cultural elements, nor hear your own pronunciation compared to what it should be.
3. DORE.APP AND OTHER LIVE DISCUSSION GROUPS
We believe in learning by doing, in this case by speaking. We want to help you integrate into the local society as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our Danish course for foreigners is for those who desire to speak from day one, make themselves understood and know what others are telling them. This is the best way to learn not only the phrases you need but also the grammar and simultaneously immerse yourself to Danish culture and even understand the secrets of local humour. You get to speak face to face both with locals, the teachers, and with others in your course. Real-life scenarios with real people, not listening to the app speaker and hoping the class material covers what you actually need and wish to learn. You can influence what is taught, not blindly follow a ready syllabus. Moreover, you can always make questions! Plus this mode of learning is suitable also to those who for whatever reason do not master technology, nor wish to.
WHO CAN APPLY FOR AND JOIN DORE.APP?
Everyone staying or living in the tiny but impressive country of Denmark is most welcome to join us!
