One-to-one General/Business
Danish Course in Dublin
Whether you want Danish lessons to help you in your general day-to-day life or for business needs, our made-to-order language courses can help you improve quickly and confidently.
While a General Danish course will provide you with enough linguistic ammunition to allow you to survive a short visit to the country (greetings, basic conversation and a solid grammatical foundation). Business courses will centre more on formal, business communication, and focus more on reading and writing skills as you advance further.
The exact syllabus is not determined simply in terms of 'General' or 'Business' - the course is tailor-made to your needs. If, as a Business student, you need extra focus on telephone or email communication, or vocabulary from a specific field of business, you only need mention this to your tutor. Equally, a General course will cover the fundamentals, but further focus in any particular area can easily be arranged with your teacher.
Typical Business course students include those in international import/export, those hoping to gain acquisitions in foreign countries, those within multinational corporations, and people who do business with foreign institutions and governments. General courses are not simply for those who need to reach a certain level of Danish for an exam - they are perfect for those wishing to pack up and move abroad, those marrying a Danish national, as well as those travelling to the country for any other reason.

City information
Capital of Ireland and its largest city, Dublin was recently voted the best capital city in Europe in which to live - and the city has a pretty good case for such praise. While the city has traditionally been a centre of emigration, in recent decades the number of immigrants to Dublin has swelled, giving rise to a remarkable diverse community, particularly from the EU (mainly the UK, Lithuania and Poland), though there are also large Chinese, Nigerian, Brazilian, Russian and Australian communities.
One result of the mish-mash of ethnicities in the city is the eruption of ethnic food shops, but another is the array of languages heard around the city; which makes Dublin a superb location to pick up a new language. This vibrant city is full of young singles - 50% of inhabitants are under 25, and in 2007 Dublin was named the friendliest city in Europe in a worldwide survey.
Language information
A Scandinavian language spoken by around 6 million people - mostly in Denmark and Greenland - Danish is in many ways something of a unique tongue. No other language is so liable for shortening and reducing word forms, even in formal language; and includes 14 vowel sounds. Verbs change in form only according to tense, rather than standard conjugation - but they make up for this oddity by having a huge amount of irregular verbs.
Proficient speakers of Danish, Swedish and Norwegian can generally understand one another pretty well, despite various differences between the languages and varying dialects depending on area - though thankfully Danish does not suffer so much from distinct regional dialects.

Do you have experience teaching Danish?
I'm very much enjoying my lessons with Chiara. She's prompt and courteous and makes full use of the time. She's a skilled teacher who is quick to see both my needs and my existing skills and to build on these. I feel I'm learning a great deal about Italy as well as the language.
