Learn Danish in 17 minutes a day.

 
A clear plan for steady progress:
You can have a first simple conversation after about 3 hours. After about 50 hours you can hold everyday conversations fluently.
Short on time? 17 minutes a day is enough – over breakfast or on the bus. If you miss a day, the course simply picks up where you left off.
 
 
Learn Danish
How the Danish course differs from other language courses:
Recommended learning time: 17 minutes a day.
Any time, anywhere, on any device.
To emigrate, for travelling and for work and career.
The long-term memory method brings each Danish word back just before you would forget it – after 2, 4, 8 and 16 days. If you still know it, it stays. If not, it goes back into the loop.
Superlearning music: calm background music that helps you relax and focus. With it, you learn 27.4% faster. You can switch it off at any time.
You don't need a study plan:
Every day the course puts the right exercises in front of you. You open it, do your 17 minutes, and your Danish improves a little every day.
Dialogues, multiple-choice exercises, the verb trainer and the sentence construction trainer: the variety keeps your daily Danish lesson fresh. That makes it easier to come back tomorrow.

How to make steady progress in Danish:


Make steady progress in Danish with 17 Minute Languages
The daily trainer picks your exercises for you, matched to your level. It brings each word back for review at the right moment.
 
Learn over 1,300 Danish words and reach level A1/A2
With the beginner's course you learn over 1,300 words and reach level A1/A2.
 
With the complete package you learn 5,000 words and work your way up from A1 to C2.
 
The complete package also contains many more lessons and texts than the beginner's course, so you get much deeper into Danish.
Daily trainer
In the daily trainer you first read, listen to and learn the new words.
You then review them in a set pattern: sometimes you reveal the translation, sometimes you pick it in a multiple-choice exercise.
 
Over the next few days, each new word comes back just before you would forget it. A word you get wrong goes back into the loop until you know it.
That is how you memorise the translation, the pronunciation and the spelling of each word.
 
Danish texts to read and listen to
Words alone do not make a language. So you also get texts and dialogues to read and listen to, matched to the words you have just learnt.
With the sentence construction trainer you practise putting complete sentences together.
 
Danish verb trainer
The course also includes a verb trainer, so you can practise the Danish verb forms until you get them right.
 
Pick up where you left off
The course carries on exactly where you left off – you don't have to look for the right lesson.
Whether you study for three minutes, 17 minutes or an hour a day is up to you.
 
Elements that keep you motivated
There are also a few extras that keep you motivated:
For every word you learn, you earn points.
The longer you study on a given day, the more points each word earns you.
Study on several days in a row and your learning streak earns you an extra bonus.
 
Exchange points for bonuses
After each session you can compare your score with other learners and exchange points for bonuses – a bit like a frequent flyer programme.
On days when you study for an especially long time, there is a small surprise at the end.
Learn a little longer than yesterday and you earn extra points – and more bonuses.
 
Audio for the Danish vocabulary
Each word is illustrated and was recorded in our studio by native speakers of Danish – no computer voice.
 
17 Minute Languages learning community
You are not learning on your own: in our learning community you can compare notes with other learners and find a learning partner.
 
Vocabulary in English and Danish
The course runs online. Use it on your computer, smartphone or tablet and switch devices whenever you like. You have 10 years of access.
After your daily lesson you can start the audio trainer with today's new words and the ones you got wrong.
You hear each word in English and Danish and repeat it.
That helps the words stick.
 
Have a conversation in Danish
The Danish course takes you from your first words to real conversations: a first simple exchange after about 3 hours, fluent after about 50 hours.
The words you learn come back until they stick.
Step by step you build whole sentences – and you start talking in Danish.

Danish long term memory learning method

 

The long-term memory learning method of 17 Minute Languages:
Learn and never forget


The Danish long-term memory learning method is based on the latest findings from research on vocabulary learning.
 
You learn all the vocabulary of the Danish course from the beginning and repeat it in a systematic way until it is stored in your long-term memory.
This way you will remember the vocabulary permanently.
learn Danish with long term method
 
Danish language course
 
Here's how the long-term method works:
 
  1. First thing on the following day you have to correctly translate this word.
  2. The program then waits for two days.
    On the third day you will be prompted by the same word again.
    You then have to translate it correctly.
  3. The program then waits 4 more days.
    Again on the seventh day, you'll encounter a prompt with that same word.
  4. The program then waits 8 more days.
    On the fifteenth day you will be prompted by the same word yet again.
  5. The program then waits a final 16 days.
    You have to correctly translate the word just one more time.

If you knew the word on each occasion, by this time you will never forget it!
It is permanently stored in your long-term memory.
(Important to know: if you forget the word to be learned on any occasion during the repetition phase, the repetition starts again.)
 
With this learning method, you will learn all of the vocabulary in this Danish course.
New words will be added to your lessons every day.
Your vocabulary will grow rapidly.

Your task now is to put the individual words in the correct order.
 
You learn the vocabulary in the context of complete sentences and with each exercise you improve your sentence structure in Danish.
 
You will learn Danish even faster and become more confident in speaking every day.

What do our clients say
... regarding the learning methods of the language courses


"It speaks the words so I can hear pronunciation instead of just guessing how written words might sound.
I also like the multitude of ways the words are presented: written words, pictures, fill in the blank sentences, spoken dialogue, etc.
This allowed me to speak more authentically and to learn the words more thoroughly.
This is the best program I have used."

   (Ashley Crust)
 
"It is a more fun approach than other courses.
I like the repetition rhythm of words I do not know. I need a visual approach to support aural learning."

   (Andrea Matrosovs)
 
"I am very content with your language course and I really enjoy learning with it. I like the well-structured way of the course and the wide-ranging possibilities which make learning so much easier and varying as well. Besides I think it's great you can choose to listen to the language as often as you want to as well as being able to print the vocabulary on flashcards. In any case I would love to thank the experts who developed the course very much! It's fun to learn a new language with this course!"
   (Gillian Smith)
 
"Early days yet but ... I like the challenge created by the various ways of presenting the words / expressions presented in the learning process.
Both passive and active recall are interspersed following your own system and the dynamic variation keeps the experience 'fresh'.
I'm old and have a problem with short-term memory but I notice that the repetitions and 'recycling' are paying off.
Recognition is simple but recall of the target item from the English is slow. I'll get there in the end!
By combining this course (for vocabulary) with other input, I am making fair progress."

   (Piet Wade)
 
"The varied learning possibilities are gorgeous! They have something in store for everyone.
Especially being able to print flashcards has been new to me and I think it's brilliant! They are really easy to print and front and back are fitting on top of each other! The everyday situations make learning much easier since sentences out of everyday life are a great motivation learning a language. Learning varies at all times because there are so many different ways teaching myself the language."

   (Kelly Roberts)
 

What our clients say
... about the long term memory learning method


"I've been mostly impressed by the long-term method for learning new vocabulary, since I didn't expect to know the vocabulary after a pretty long break. The explanation of the psychological backgrounds and the systematics of the memory performance respectively makes the learning methods much more comprehensible."
   (Scott Wilkinson)
 
"I've been using this language course for 4 months intensively. I think it's really convenient having the possibility to repeat the vocabulary regularly with the long-term memory learning method. I really enjoy this program for it keeps asking until the correlate word is typed in correctly. Moreover the digital speech of the respective vocabulary is also great."
   (Gautam Kumars)
 
"The long-term memory learning method for keeping vocabulary in long-term memory is, in my opinion, particularly efficient. Thereby you are developing ambition which keeps you going. Also the pages which hide the vocab are tremendously good to get a quick overview and are very suitable to repeat in fast track. I find the displaying of the last seven wrong inputs in the long-term memory learning method very supportive."
   (Frank Collins)
 
"I particularly like the vocabulary-learning function with the long-term memory learning method. Not only is this method incredibly efficient but also very motivating, because success becomes apparent immediately and you can feel certain having the vocabulary stored in your long-term memory. A great advantage are the crystal clear voice recordings which don't leave you thinking about the pronunciation and makes naturally learning possible."
   (Guillaume Guerrin)
 
"I was especially amazed by learning with the long-term method. The recordings of the entire vocabulary and dialogues sound very natural and realistic since they were all spoken by native speakers. Putting it in a nutshell, it's a well-made language course."
   (Marcus Großkautz)
 
"I'd learned this language already basically before but I could hardly remember anything about my basics, nevertheless I was able to reaccess the language. For this I'm sure the clear and logical structure of the language course is crucial and also the opportunity to operate within the program in so many different ways."
   (Jean-Baptiste Novak)
 
"Every day before I go to sleep I'm practising my vocabulary with the long-term memory learning method. By purchasing your software I've made a good decision since it's fun learning and gives me a sense of achievement most of the time. As far as I'm concerned this course enhanced my linguistic knowledge because its design is varying. Another great advantage is the course being suitable for all kinds of operating systems. This is what I really like about it since I'm a Linux user and therefore limited concerning software."
   (Chris Worthingham)
 
"I really do like learning using the long term memory learning method. Using the PC is much simpler than writing manually. Moreover using the PC is much more efficient since you cannot cheat yourself - The system is correcting every single mistake also including emphasis which are also registered. Storing the different levels makes repeating the vocabulary and the texts based on the flashcard principle possible and thereby more effective. Learning foreign languages has become a hobby to me - for me, personally, it is not only learning by heart but a leisure pursuit."
   (Emily Snyder)
 
"I liked the logical structure of my language course. The dialogues are easy to follow and very comprehensible. The further possibilities which can be chosen to learn vocabulary by different styles and ways both verbally and written are very well-suited for keeping them in the long-term memory. Even after several months they are still available. My basic understanding of languages has been broadened by this course."
   (Anthony Hockner)
 
"I find the logical and neat outline very appealing. I'm also motivated by the long term memory learning method which makes it easy for me to live up to the learning success of the day before and gets me started over quickly. I've already bought the beginner's course and my experiences with the long term memory learning method are good. You can virtually follow the continuing progress the team is working on - this is what I really like since they give me the feeling that I'm taken seriously when I hand in some suggestions for improvement and changes."
   (Agatha Low)
 
"It's very beneficial being able to organize your individual schedule and also being able to print out the entire course. The variety of the teaching materials is also great.
When it comes to learning vocabulary by using the long term memory learning method you only decide once how long you would like to learn per day. Once you've decided on how long you want to learn a day, this will be happening automatically afterwards. So, once you get started you will pull through.
This is also very helpful when having a hard time with motivation. Being able to decide on your own how long you want to learn makes this course "feasible"."

   (Henry Smalls)
 

Customer reviews
... about the daily trainer


"I like the interval repetition, the division in levels and the monitor how much time is left to achieve a level, I like the reward system, when it is possible to get other courses in other languages, I like the meditation music."
   
 
"The daily exercises are the greatest thing about this learning software. In this way I'm able to learn in a structured way. Thereby, I can learn both the vocabulary training and text exercises quickly and continuously. Moreover I'm convinced by the different methods of vocabulary training and different learning methods. Above all the text input and the automatic testing of your knowledge gives me a quick and really good result."
   (Chris Osborne)
 
"I really have to thank you for the daily exercises. They really give me the motivation I need to do at least my daily exercises on a daily basis since I don't have much time left. Additionally I think the great choice of the different ways of learning is gorgeous, e.g. first, taking a look at the vocabulary, secondly finding them hidden in a text and thereby studying them and then being tested and learning vocabulary intensively. "
   (A. Svensson)
 
"I enjoy the daily exercise program because it's easy to work on and it's varying. Mostly I use the long term memory learning method and the quick repetition. This course allows me to continue my studies on a daily basis and I feel really really motivated to learn another language."
   (Jason Big)
 
"I am given the possibility to determine the learning rate myself. The daily exercises are giving me the pressure necessary I need to do them.
Apparently different brain areas are getting activated by different learning methods of the program. In my own case, the learning success seems to be lasting."

   (Craig Miller)
 
"The daily exercises are encouraging me to really stay focused even though there are no new words added. Regardless of whether working on quick repetition or text input: The recorded vocabulary combined with the written word itself is perfect for me."
   (Sabine Schwarz)
 
"I like the lessons being divided in daily exercises.
Still, I can decide by myself independently how much I'd like to learn. That way learning never gets boring.
I further like the speakers being native speakers. From the beginning, you are offered short texts which you can gradually elaborate."

   (Frank Roy)
 
"The daily exercises learning method seems very effective. It gives you a well-structured schedule that guides you through the program.
And if there is time left you could additionally use further training methods."

   (Gunther Rummel)
 

What our clients say
... in regard to structure and content of the programme


"I like being drilled - and measured against A1/A2 proficiency. I also like the dialogs. I go back over them again and again. (Occasionally the dialog translations are not real accurate but they do give the meaning.) After reading dialogs, I will also type them into my own document, give me a good practice writing. I also like the dictation."
   (Ira Lund)
 
"I appreciate the course's systematic regarding the structure, the clarity regarding the titles you can click on.
I also like being able to print out whatever I like and having the correcting aid at my disposal. It's very beneficial having the opportunity to listen to the appropriate vocabulary. This course is definitely meeting my expectations!"

 
"This course has broadened my vocabulary knowledge tremendously.
For me personally, listening to texts and thereby improving my own pronunciation was particularly helpful. Of course this is really motivating, helpful and is giving me a feeling of getting more and more confident when communicating with native speakers. The method by which you acquire vocabulary is excellent - at the same time it's a fantastic exercise to train my brain."

   (Bill Green)
 
"I like the learning units being split in small very achievable units. The vocabulary being taught is very applicable especially for beginners - that's what I really like since I want to learn this language only on a "vacation" kind of level. Additionally I want to point out the learning monitoring and the opportunity given to print out the vocabulary which makes learning a lot easier for me."
   (Mark Curtis)
 
"The listening examples are suitable for the daily use and are worth learning.
Within a short period of time I acquired essential vocabulary which encouraged me to keep going.
In addition the recording is realistic, comprehensible and I as a student was given the chance to get an impression what feeling for language means."

   (Chester Fields)
 
"I'm really motivated by the short and not too challenging lessons. They encourage me to hang in there because they are easy to process by the self-learning principle. I really like the versatile testing options. Each term or sentence can be repeated - this way the pronunciation can be memorized much better."
   (Christen Nixon)
 
"The lessons are very versatile. This program also provides the possibility to print out cards which I think is very crucial. Since we're getting ready to move these lessons are great to get prepared.
This course is great!"

   (Tess Carlson)
 
"I'm very pleased with this course and it helps a lot with my studies. This course is especially helpful when it comes to learning vocabulary and a proper pronunciation. I'm pretty sure I would have given up learning this language if it wasn't for this course. I like the lessons being short and therefore clear. Also the flashcards which can be printed out are great for taking with you and learn whenever I feel like studying."
   (Holly Wilkinson)
 
"I was positively surprised by the many lessons. The lessons aren't stuffed full and contain an appropriate amount of vocabulary. The dialogue texts are well-chosen and the basic vocabulary is extensive.
The flash cards which can be printed are a good learning method - it really worked out for me."

   (Nicki Chestnut)
