About My Danish Tutor

My Danish Tutor helps English speakers learn Danish, from the first words to real conversations and the Danish exams. The website has free guides and practice that anyone can use, and the app adds guided lessons and practice built around your own goals.

It’s for anyone learning Danish: people who have moved to Denmark or are planning to, partners of Danes, learners preparing for an exam, or anyone who is simply curious about the language.

What makes it different

You choose what you learnThere is no set course to work through. You pick the topics and goals that matter to you, for example:
  • Moving to Denmark soon? Start with everyday phrases, numbers and pronunciation.
  • Already speak some Danish? Take the level test and work on what you still get wrong.
  • Want to talk with Danish friends or family? Practise real conversations until you can join in.
  • Taking a Danish exam? Go straight to practice in the format of your exam.
  • Just curious? Start with whatever interests you.
  • Why your answer is wrongChoose the wrong word and you are told why that word doesn’t fit, not just which one was right.
  • Everything in one placeThe aim is that you never leave an exercise to look something up: the words in it come with a translation, example sentences to listen to and a save button.
  • Replying, not just translatingIn a practice conversation you hear each line and choose how to answer, the way you would when someone talks to you.

Why I built it

I started My Danish Tutor in 2026, while learning Danish myself after moving to Denmark. The apps I tried taught me words, but not how to hold a conversation, and every course followed the same fixed path whatever I already knew or needed Danish for.

Smaller things got in the way too. When I got an answer wrong, there was often no explanation or example to show me why, so I had to go and find out myself. And when I came across a new word or phrase, hearing it, translating it, seeing it in more examples or saving it for later meant leaving the exercise to do it somewhere else.

So I built the site I wanted to learn with.
