Complete Danish Beginner to Intermediate Course: (Book and audio support) (Teach Yourself Language)

Good

Exactly what was needed. Needed help with learning grammar. what is amazing is that it is linked with the Teach Yourself Library. Supports with hearing how words should be pronounced.

The book is well laid out with information on language and culture. The audio support is good and essential for learning the correct pronunciation of Danish. I have only just started the course and I find it very enjoyable. Many thanks.

I have never cared enough about something on amazon to write a review. Maybe a few years ago. If you're serious about learning danish as I am, and like me you actually missed a flight trying to read a danish newspaper and lost track of time at the airport, you need this book. This book is something else. It's almost cheating.Edit 1:I'm done the first four chapters and I must say, I can count to 100, I know know how to tell the time in the most complex ways, I can talk about buying food, tickets, flowers, red wine, pretty much things you do on a date. I can say that I called someone and talked to them, I can ask what something costs, I can pretty much read danish text messages and comments on youtube and reddit. And right now in chapter five I'm about to learn how to say something is a good idea, ask someone what they want to do today. I'll do another update once I reach chapter 8. Not a single negative thing to say about it so far, this is the closest thing to sling shooting yourself from beginner to advance.A note, you need to know basics words like han, til, for, at, jeg, har, i, godt, du, skal, os, en, er before reading this book. If you don't memorize the meanings before chapter one you will burn a lot of time trying to figure out what something means instead of memorizing new vocabulary. I suggest duolingo and pass it's first test before trying this book, so that you are comfortable with the bread and butter words. If you can pick them up some other way great. This is not to say if you straight jump into this book you can't pick them up, but it feels good when you know something before they introduce it too you with other unknown stuff. Kept me motivated and I didn't burn out.

As someone with a decent level of Danish, this book was just what was needed to boost and refresh my learning. The book resource pack including a CD-audio guides you through a variety of Units covering areas of life with useful phrasing, local insights and vocabulary to boost your understanding and awareness. In distinction to other TeachYourself courses, the audio is perfect. The speed of the spoken text is perfectly timed to allow you to appreciate the lenitions and accent. Every phrase in the book (pretty much!) is included in the audio CD which is really beneficial.I would definitely recommend this purchase to anyone wishing to pick-up the language for the first time, or returning to it (like me!). Held og lykke (good luck in Danish!)

Haven't used very much. I bought it to impress my Danish friend as we speak quite often on the telephone. However as her English is brilliant and I haven't been able to find time or energy to learn much, not much progress made, but very pleased to have something compact as a back-up and to pick up and put down when I feel more able, or if I ever get round to that trip to Denmark.

I bought this because, often with Danish, the pronunciation of words is very different to how you'd say them in English, and I needed to understand more than the theory of how to make the various sounds required.I'm using it in conjunction with other materials (online sites, radio etc) and am making good progress. Not sure how successful it would be as a stand-alone course, but certainly helps with the spoken and listening aspects of a new (and quite challenging) language.

Fantastic book!

Perfecto para comenzar, muy buena calidad y completo con las actividades.

O livro é muito bom. O áudio não está disponível para ser baixado. Tem que escutá-lo no próprio site. Esse é o defeito.

Good resource to learn danish

Nice book, lots of details and work sections. Only wish the book was a larger size as it can be hard if you want to write in the work pages. Includes CD for listening excersizes.
