I promised a while ago to write a little about Studieskolen, and their
Danish courses for foreigners.
Here is the part of their programme, covering Danish courses,
exclusively for foreigners. There are further courses following these,
but they are not exclusively for foreigners.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DANISH FOR FOREIGNERS.
Levels 1-4: For beginners with no knowledge or students with a slight
knowledge of Danish. The students must be familiar with the
Latin alphabet. The courses train the ability to handle
elementary everyday situations. All four skills are taught
(listening, speaking, reading, and writing), but emphasis is put
on listening/comprehension and speaking.
Teaching material handed out at the registration.
Levels 5-8: for pre-intermidiate students.
Levels 9-10: for intermidiate students who feel able to communicate in
basic Danish.
Danish courses 1-10 and writing skils courses 1-2 are held in
accordance with Act 355 governing adult-immigration education in
Denmark. The actual courses are free, but students must pay for
required teaching material (level 1 and 3: dkr. 265, level 2 and 4:
dkr. 150). Students attending these courses must not at the same time
enroll for Danish classes at other schools. We cannot accept students
living in Frederiksborg Amt. PERSONAL ENROLLMENT ONLY, AT THE OFFICE.
Other Danish courses are held in accordance with the terms of the Adult
Night School Education Act. These courses are open to all studens.
LENGTH OF COURSES: Studieskolen courses in Danish for foreigners start
eight times a year, i.e. August, September, October, December,
February, March, May and June. Courses run 6-8 weeks with 1, 2, 3 or 5
meetings a week.
TYPE OF COURSES: ordinary classroom teaching is the most common form.

I attended a course given by the Studieskole (by Studieskolen ? -
difficult point in mixing Scandinavian and English) in 1983. I had a
fabulous time then.
It was a special "Summer Course in Danish Language, Culture and
Society". Classes were with about (my memory is a bit vague here) 15
people, right in the heart of Copenhagen. It lasted four weeks and in
the mornings we did Danish language, and in the afternoons we went on
guided tours of major Danish institutions - parliament, architectural
and social-housing achievements, schools etc. Participants came from
all over Europe and there was lots of group-feeling by the end.
I've been told that this is one of the best Studieskolen courses to do
as the participants are people who are particularly interested in
Danish language and culture, as opposed to the courses at other times
of the year, where the participants are more people (perhaps even
Digital people, but I don't know that) who _need_ to learn Danish for
their day to day living in Denmark.
Det er sund at jeg har glemt n�sten alt som jeg l�rte for 7 �r siden !
