I would like to thank you for being my Danish teacher over the last months. You really helped me to get a very good first insight not only into the Danish language but also into other aspects of the Danish life and habits – this really helped me a lot to settle here…. Thanks a lot for all your patience and guidance; maybe we will have a chance to meet again…
For now I wish you a great summer and all the best 
Content of your first module of Master Basic Danish
In your first module of Master Basic Danish, we primarily focus on
– introducing ourselves
– telling the time
– being able to remember and pronounce numerals from 0 to 100 so you can understand and say your phone number, hour house number, your postal code, Birthday etc.
– to be able to make an agrement on a specific day by using the ordinals (first, second, third etc)
For that we use the book På vej til dansk – trin for trin, as reference and frame.
We also focus on basic grammar, as for example how to know when a noun is a n-word or a t-word + how to conjugate verbs, nouns and adjectives
and
there will of course be room for questions and answers related to our focus on mastering numerals, ordinals, telling the time and introducing ourselves as well as getting into conversation by for example asking: “Hvad med dig?”.
Besides you “getting into Danish” you will have access to me, Birgit, via email, so you can get feedback on aspects of importance to you.
And:
An important part of Module 1 of Master Basic Danish is that you, besides meeting with me, Birgit for 10 online lessons are assigned homework and exchange in 10 lessons with one or more accountability partners.
Get all details, when you enroll in a first free trial lesson.
Are the Danish lessons structured?
Yes. It might, though, not be the way, that you perceive or have as a reference for structure.
When I – originally – was learning to read, I was first introduced to the letters. Thereafter I learned to put the letters together into words, whereafter I learned about grammar and word order, in order to make sentences.
As you have passed this basic level, we will work, as if we are on a main road, where we want to go from A to B, but where we’ll stop at all sights of our interest.
So: Yes, your Danish lessons will have a structure and you will be challenged by leaving the structure/ the plan in every lesson, by fx getting questions not related to the subject, but relevant for the “here and now” where you, the other group members and I have our learn-Danish-exchange.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with Birgit Månestråle. Her style is unique, flexible, creative, encouraging and above all FUN! Danish is considered a difficult language to learn but Birgit tailored each meeting with interesting and relevant content and I was always inspired by our discussions which were pitched at just the right level. Her commitment and enthusiasm was amazing – she was responsive between meetings reviewing written material and always ready with additional support and direction. Birgit enjoys teaching and she was always excited and happy to be there. My confidence with Danish improved immeasurably during the time we worked together. I absolutely recommend Birgit for learning Danish.

How much homework?
You decide. The more you are able to focus and study the faster you may reach your goal.
AND, that said (or actually written above) my approach is, that learning Danish should happen ‘with ease’.
Ease isn’t necessarily easy – but, when you manage to learn with ease, as if learning Danish is your passion, then your eagerness increases. It becomes fun to recognize Danish words and phrases. You smile. You get the feeling of victory: “Yes, I can do it.” “Yes I’m doing it.” Small progress, large progress. Any focus counts.
Some days you only sense a sound or a word. When getting into a good study habit, then 8 minutes a day some days easily becomes 9, 10 or maybe 20 minutes. When having excess time, focusing an hour or an hour and half will give you the good feeling of having accomplished what you wanted to accomplish.
When you decide to learn in a group to Master Basic Danish with me, Birgit Månestråle – you will – besides meeting up with me and the other group members every other Wednesday + having access to me via email where you can ask questions + share your wins, successe and obstacles you will also be assigned (or you can choose) an accountability parter with whom you share your homework and the extra personal tasks you’re taking on in order to reach. a goal of importance to you, which can be any goal – and/or to pass PD2 or PD3.
