Why Learn Danish?

static block photo

One of the oldest languages in Europe, Danish is considered a North Germanic language, with its roots stretching back to 800 AD. Around 6 million people speak Danish – primarily in Denmark, but also in the Southern Schleswig of Northern Germany, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Sweden, Norway, and even Argentina! Like all other North Germanic tongues, Danish is an offshoot of Old Norse, the historic language of Germanic peoples during the Viking era. A handful of dialects remain extant, while some dialects, namely Dano-Norwegian and Angel, no longer exist. Danish is regulated by the Danish Language Council and is officially recognized as a minority language in Germany and Greenland.

Pimsleur is the best option to learn Danish. Our Premium Monthly (Danish only) and All Access Monthly (every language in the Pimsleur catalog) subscriptions use the Pimsleur Method™ to build speaking proficiency, help you retain key words and phrases, and learn Danish the fun, enjoyable way!

Common Questions About Learning Danish

Is Danish a difficult language to learn?

If you’re using traditional methods to learn, like tedious grammar lessons and thick textbooks, it’s not easy to learn Danish. However, if you opt for a user-friendly, fun, immersive solution like Pimsleur, it’s relatively easy to learn Danish. We help put you on a sure track to success! How? With our convenient app-accessible tools and Danish lessons, you can practice anywhere, at any time. And since we help you learn the language like a child (similar to the way you acquired your native language), the learning curve is considerably shortened.

How long does it take to learn Danish?

We get this question a lot from our customers, no matter what course they’ve signed up for. The answer is largely dependent on two factors: the type of platform you use to learn the Danish language and your amount of effort and enthusiasm. With Pimsleur, you can learn to speak Danish in no time at all; in fact, you should be able to speak some basic Danish phrases and words by the end of lesson #1. From there, you’ll build on what you learned to eventually speak Danish conversationally. The time frame depends on HOW you study Danish – and with a Pimsleur subscription, it doesn’t take long!

What are the main challenges when learning the Danish language?

One challenge to learn Danish is the distinction between “strong” and “weak” stems. A stem is just one part of a word that provides meaning. Like other Germanic languages, you’ll have to navigate your way through this hurdle, along with casing and genders for particular pronouns. Plus, Danish has unique plural patterns that aren’t seen in most other languages. But don’t worry – our language learning system helps you learn the Danish language efficiently by listening to and speaking the language. Our Danish lessons provide a logical yet fun method as you work through Pimsleur’s Danish courses.

How important is pronunciation in learning Danish?

Pronunciation is a paramount factor as you learn Danish. The language’s significant vowel usage – there are more than 25 in all – requires varied stress and certain syllables, which can differ when used in context with other Danish words. What’s more, Danish has one of the most unique pronunciation characteristics – referred to as “stød,” a refined pitch that’s known as “creaky voice.” This slow, almost starchy sound is critical for correct pronunciation as you learn Danish. Yet again, Pimsleur has the perfect tool at your disposal – our Voice Coach with AI pronunciation feedback ensures you capture every nuance of this complex yet fun-to-learn language.

Are the Danish lessons suitable for complete beginners?

Pimsleur’s Danish courses aren’t just suitable for novice learners – they’re perfect for someone with zero experience speaking the language. We’ll help anyone learn to speak Danish, whether you’re starting from scratch or you have a few Danish phrases in your lexicon. Learn the Danish language from any launch point with Pimsleur – you’ll be amazed at just how quickly you’ll start speaking a new language!
