What students say

• “I have enjoyed the tutoring of Mrs. Anne-Birgitte Mullins in the beautiful Danish language for the past six months, as this has consistently added to my knowledge and ability to speak, read and write Danish, on a daily basis. I feel that my vocabulary has increased significantly and my self-esteem for communicating in Danish has grown in equal measures. The lessons are an interesting mixture of reading and discussing articles and texts on different issues, talking about what to do and where to go in Denmark and tips on Danish grammar, do‘s and don‘ts. It has truly been a pleasure to tackle the Danish language in this manner, and I am immensely grateful to Anne-Birgitte and Danish & Denmark for their work in linking countries and cultures together by teaching expatriates their language and thus contributing to diminishing barriers between people”.

• “I can highly recommend Anne-Birgitte Mullins as a Danish language teacher. She has come to my workplace at the Icelandic Embassy once or twice a week for the past few months and my Danish has improved significantly. The lessons are always interesting and she has taken care to adapt them to my needs and interests. Anne-Birgitte is very knowledgeable about Danish history, culture and politics and has therefore taught me a lot about Danish society, as well as Danish language. She is very professional and a skilled language teacher”.

• “Under Anne-Birgitte’s guidance, my oral English improved a lot. Now I am more confident in speaking English. In each lesson, Anne-Birgitte took some topics and made targeted training for me to improve my oral English. I’m really pleased to have participated in this English course.”

• ”I started my Danish lessons with Jette this year. Her classes are very entertaining, always discussing current issues with interesting articles, reviewing grammar, comprehension of texts, debates, writing etc. I never felt any teacher-student pressure, but rather the caring attention from someone who understands that the student is perhaps a little less focused, but yet her classes revive us to continue ahead with our studies and have fun in the process. She is an excellent teacher who has the ability and flexibility I need to learn a difficult language like Danish, after a long day at work.”

• “Learning the local language is extremely important for all diplomats, in order to better understand the environment in which they work, and for a better quality of life during a posting. In Denmark, the vast majority speaks very good English and knowledge of the Danish language is maybe not essential, but it makes a big difference. Jette is an exceptional teacher, with a lot of energy, knowledge and experience. She knows how to adapt to the individual and how to bring this difficult, but very interesting language, closer to the learner from a linguistic and social point of view. There are no bad days with Jette, and her biggest motivation is your language learning progress”.

• “Jette was my Danish teacher from module 1 to module 4. She is one of the best teachers I have ever met. She is very experienced in Danish language teaching with structured lessons and well-organized plans. Apart from teaching the language itself, she also taught me a lot about the Danish culture, which helped me a lot to better understand Danish language and Danish people. As long as you follow her steps, I believe you will be a fluent Danish speaker as well as a local person very soon.”
