There may be several reasons to consider Danish lessons with a focus on conversation in the company.
There are the professional aspect, as well as the social and cultural aspect.
Although your corporate language may be English, the language between colleagues during lunchtime or at the coffee machine may be in Danish. Or the email thread starting out in English turns into Danish as small talk, in professional language and in written procedures.
In addition to conversation, the focus is on cultural understanding – for example, the way to be polite in one culture may be considered rude in another. We also try to understand and take into account what’s between the lines, which can be hard to pin down, yet can be a nuance in everyday life when cultures meet across the company.
In short, Kollegadansk is the linguistic and social element that can help bind colleagues together and create job satisfaction and productivity.
The course takes place at your premises once a week for 3 lessons.
The price may vary according to your wishes and needs.

Even if you don’t experience language issues in your daily workflows, it can have a social impact if the employee doesn’t feel comfortable enough in Danish.
Even though your corporate language may be English, the language in the lunch room can quickly become Danish – or the email thread between several colleagues can change to Danish. Colleague Danish is Danish language training in the workplace for employees who need some extra vocabulary to keep up over lunch, for example. In addition, many social situations are also conducted in Danish.
In addition to the language aspect, there’s also the cultural understanding. Being polite in one culture may be considered rude in another. CLAVIS offers a language upgrade that also takes into account what’s between the lines, which can be hard to pinpoint, but can still be a nuisance in everyday life when cultures meet across the workplace. Denmark is one of those countries where social and work culture can be difficult to understand.
Danish language training in the workplace is relevant for all companies with foreign employees. We take care of the little words that can spark conversation at the coffee machine and boost social cohesion.
The social and linguistic aspect is important for the unity of your workplace, which is why it can be a good idea to offer Danish lessons to your foreign employees. If your employees are happy and there is good social cohesion in the workplace, it will automatically increase job satisfaction, which can ultimately be measured on the bottom line and help retain your employees.
