Teach Yourself Danish
is the course for anyone who wants to progress quickly
from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing
Danish with confidence. Although aimed at those with
no previous knowledge, it is equally suitable for anyone
wishing to brush up existing knowledge for a holiday
or business trip. Key structures and vocabulary are
introduced in 18 thematic units progressing from introducing
yourself and dealing with everyday situations to talking
about work and shopping for presents. Teach
Yourself Danish follows the journey of George
Wilson, a businessman, who travels to Denmark to establish
a market there for his products. He has been invited
to stay with his friends who live in Copenhagen. The
emphasis is on communication throughout with important
language structures introduced through dialogues on
the accompanying recording. There are plenty of exercises
to practise the language as it is introduced and tips
throughout to help with grammar. Cultural information
sections give useful advice and information for anyone
planning a trip to Denmark.
