Strengthen your
expats
in Denmark
We know that language is the key to integration and well-being. With Danish for international employees, your expats gain access to both personal and professional networks, helping reduce the feeling of being far from family and friends back home – something Workindenmark points to as key to whether international employees choose to stay in Denmark.
Insight into Danish culture increases the chance of feeling comfortable in Denmark and builds confidence, which has a positive impact on job satisfaction. Encourage your expats to stay in Denmark with language training that delivers fast results.
We combine Danish language training with cultural insight, so employees feel secure, confident, and motivated. This has a positive effect on job satisfaction, collaboration, and engagement – and gives your company a stronger team in the long term.
What is Danish for international employees?
Danish is hard to learn. The pronunciation is tricky, and there are many exceptions to the rules. That’s why many expats hold back from speaking Danish at work, because they’re afraid of saying something wrong. At SprogEU, it’s perfectly fine to make lots of language mistakes. By working with the language, we build the confidence each participant needs.
In short, it’s a Danish course for foreigners, just with the job at its centre. We always start with a level test. That way, we know where the employee stands and whether 1:1 or a small group makes the most sense. Training can take place online or at your company.
Most expats actually need both: Danish for everyday life and Danish for work. We start where the need is greatest. And if the employee later needs to pass an official Danish test, we take it from there with preparation for Danish Test 3.

From everyday Danish to business Danish
Not all expats need the same level of Danish. Some primarily need to get by in everyday life – shopping, understanding a note from daycare, small talk with a neighbour. Others need business Danish: being able to participate actively in meetings, understand internal emails and documents, and communicate professionally with Danish colleagues and clients in Danish.
We tailor the programme to where the employee needs the language most – and for many companies, it provides the greatest value to prioritise business Danish from the start, so the employee can quickly contribute fully in the workplace, rather than only being able to make small talk during lunch breaks.
