Questions
Is this the Danish they speak in Denmark?
Yes, standard Danish as colleagues talk in an office in Copenhagen or Aarhus. It’s close to Norwegian on paper, so the cards stick to the Danish forms: møde, opgave, travlt.
Should I say du or De at work?
Du, to everyone, your manager and the CEO included. De is almost gone; you’d only hear it from the very old or in letters to the royal family.
What level is it for?
A1 to B2. It starts with small talk and the end of the working day, and ends with the words of project meetings: stakeholders, scope, handovers.
Is the pack really free?
Yes. A free account keeps all 48 words in your deck, with audio, an example and a note on when to use each one. No card needed.
