I do not have any friends in Denmark I can practice Danish with. That is why I watch TV and listen to podcasts, but that is not enough for me to get a lot better and therefore I need to talk to people and Sprogland has given me that.

Want to join online language training?

On Sprogland.dk you can book video conversations with volunteer language trainer from the Red Cross. Together with the volunteer you can practice conversational Danish, get help practicing pronunciation, or prepare for your oral Danish exams.

If you are interested in practicing more work-related words you might want to book a volunteer with a professional background and work experience, within the field of your interest.
Currently, you can book conversations within the field of “healthcare and social services”.

Want to join one of our language cafés?

Red Cross has local language and homework cafés throughout the country. In these cafés volunteers help with homework and language training. The language cafés are primarily aimed at young adults and adults, whereas the homework cafés are aimed at children.

The Red Cross language cafés work as a supplement to the official Danish language schools. You can get help with school assignments, practicing everday Danish or difficult words from your workplace. An important part of the cafés is the positive and warm community and the opportunity for fun and socializing.

In the homework cafés children can get help with their homework, both children with refugee background and children, who have lived in Denmark all their lives. Most of these cafés are run in collaboration with schools, libraries, or housing associations.

Find your nearest language or homework café here: Sprogunivers - se sprogcafeer | Røde Kors.

Who are the language tutors and what can they do?: All our volunteers come prepared and are continuously offered courses to develop their competencies.

They are part of the Red Cross because they want to help.
Does it cost anything to participate?: No. All activities at “Sproguniverset” are free of charge.
Where else can I practice Danish?: Find an collection of relevant external websites and tools where you can practice Danish on your own by e.g. listening, reading, doing grammar exercises and much more. Please note that these are external websites that have not been developed by the Red Cross.
