Learn DanishTo learn Danish, it's ideal to go live in Denmark. Learning Danish in Denmark is the most effective way to learn the Danish language, because you are in a 'total immersion' situation. I.e. most people around you speak Danish, the signposts and posters, the newspapers, the TV stations and radio stations all use Danish.
Learn Danish with Audio LessonsIf you are like most people and can't just drop everything to go live in Denmark, only because you need to speak and understand Danish, then you audio lessons are a great alternative! They have a bunch of advantages and even better than a personal one on one teacher: An audio class will start exactly when and where you chose, it does not need to keep fixed schedules and is ready when you are. Something that does not really work that way with a personal language coach. And if you then use the very efficient Pimsleur Danish language audios, you are guanranteed to get started on the right track: Perfect pronunciation from the very first sentence, and a vocabulary and understanding of the language that will allow you to start communicating with Danish native speakers within a short time, often only weeks after you started to learn Danish!

This means you don't have a
chance to escape into an other language and it's a lot
easier to keep the motivation and drive to learn Danish as
quickly as possible. If you then also follow Danish
classes regularly, and have a Danish mate, you're nearly
done and will speak and understand Danish very
quickly.What customers say about the Pimsleur DANISH audios:
Great intro to Danish, wish there were a longer version too.
This was my first Pimsleur course. It is remarkable how well it teaches you a spoken language - all of which you can do in your car. Because they are constantly asking you how to put together words and phrases that you know, they reinforce what you have learned and force you to invent new combinations. Very effective. Unfortunately there isn't a longer version of this available. It is just 10 lessons. -- Mark Cassidy, Naugatuck, CT, USA
Learn Danish in the car!
I bought this CD set because I am going to Denmark soon, and I wanted to be able to at least ask where the bathroom was.... :) . My mom (who is a Danish national) said that my pronunciation is great - I guess that's because I have listened to each lesson at least twice... so far anyway... It helps to have her, so I can see how her mouth is formed during words, because SOME of the Danish words I couldn't quite make out - that's why I only gave it 4 stars... well, that and the fact that people were looking at me crazy when I was sitting at traffic lights, repeating phrases... ;) -- R.

Brief introduction
Pimsleur only offers a brief, basic introduction to Danish, unlike their programs for languages which are in more demand such as French and German. Their drills are excellent, some of the best I have tried, and teach you to spontaneously say the phrases. They focus on learning a few things thoroughly, rather than learning several things which you will forget later. They are especially good for an absolute beginner. But it is disappointing that they stop after only 10 lessons. The program teaches you to SPEAK Danish, NOT to READ it. The reading is limited, but also useful. It focuses on learning key phonetic spellings in Danish, which you can apply later when you learn to read and write the language. You will have to find other training materials if you want to go much beyond the "How-do-you-do's." I would like to see Pimsleur get philanthropic with us poor learners and offer the more obscure languages in more detail, even if there isn't a huge profit in it. -- barbslc, Salt Lake City, UT, United States
