The teaching is aimed at companies who experience that foreign employees are more quiet than their colleagues, they are seeking the company of equal non-Danish speakers during the lunch break, or maybe they have to be persuaded a little bit to participate in the company party.
There might be several reasons to consider Danish lessons at the workplace – there is, naturally, the academic aspect, and besides that, there are the social and cultural aspects. Danish for employees will improve all these aspects.
A lot of companies in Denmark use English as their company language, therefore, they don’t realize that their employees need to learn Danish. However, for those of your employees who do not speak Danish, it might be harder to socialize e.g. in the cafeteria, by the coffee machine, etc.
Based on your needs, we will plan a Danish course that matches you as a company. We offer Danish lessons either at your company, in one of our departments, or online. The teachings will take place 1-2 times a week with 2 lessons with a break between them. The time is customized to you and your employees.
