If you want to learn Danish but no longer qualify for free Danish education, or perhaps never did, how do you get started? This article will answer that question by exploring the alternative options available to you.
If your right to Danish education has expired
However, if you have lived in Denmark for more than 5 years without completing the program, there's a high chance that you have lost your right to free Danish education.
You can contact your municipality to find out if you are still entitled to free Danish education, or you can contact A2B, and we can check for you. If it turns out that you are not entitled to free Danish education, there are several alternatives available where you can start learning Danish.
Take a private course
You can sign up for a private Danish course, which is not part of the Official Danish Education. Among others, A2B offers some options, which you can find here.
You can choose to pay for the Danish course yourself.
You have the option to pay for the Official Danish Education yourself. Many language schools offer the Danish Education program on a fee-paying basis, where you can enroll as a self-payer. As a self-payer, you still have the opportunity to take the official module tests and final exams.
You can get started by finding a language school near you and either signing up as a self-payer, or you can contact A2B to learn how to enroll.
Take advantage of volunteer opportunities
You also have the option to make use of voluntary language training programs, which may be free of charge. There are several volunteer associations, libraries, and NGOs that offer free Danish lessons conducted by volunteers.
These can be a good option to start learning Danish.
