The Nordic languages date back to 200 AD and are documented in many runic
inscriptions from the Viking Age. Danish strongly influenced English at
this time and words such as fellow,
husband, they,
sky, window,
live and die
all come from Scandinavia. Today, Danish is spoken by 5.4 million Danes
and is used in Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Moreover, people
with Danish, Norwegian or Swedish as their mother tongue can understand
and speak with each other. The core vocabulary is largely the same in the
Nordic countries.
The accelerated courses in Danish will enable you to speak Danish in everyday situations and participate in simple discussions, read and understand Danish texts and short stories and express yourself in the written form.
