Executive Danish for Non-Danish executives


To enable non-Danish executives staying in Denmark for a limited period to communicate appropriately in Danish in situations where social competence and cross-cultural understanding are in focus.

Situations include

  • Remarks in the corridor
  • Opening and closing of metings
  • Social activities in the company
  • Visits in Danish colleagues' homes
  • Quick responses in emails
  • Voicemails

Course format
This course is of a highly practical nature. Each session is designed so as to make it possible to use the skills acquired immediately. All materials are prepared individually, catering for special wishes and needs.

Course length
We recommend a module of 20 hours as a minimum, if the language skills acquired are to be of any practical use. People have very different learning rates - some pick up the language very fast, others need more time to allow it to consolidate.

A customer wrote
'The lessons quickly gave me practical help with Danish for everyday business and social situations.

The feedback from my employees on my forays into the Danish language with simple things like my voicemail greeting, toasts, short speeches and the like, was very rewarding and fulfilling.

The language is the key to a culture and having a grasp on some of the basics has helped me integrate into the business and everyday life here.

All-in-all, I would say that the time invested in the course certainly paid back many times over.'

Alexander Hardy, CEO of Novartis Healthcare Denmark
