Learn Danish with a smile!
My name is Hanne Walbum, and I would like to tell you a little about myself and my language school Copenhagen Danish Courses.
When you have finished reading this, and have visited our other pages, I hope you would like to take a Danish course with me. I would certainly love to teach you and look forward to hearing from you!
Warm regards and best wishes for a lovely day!

Copenhagen Danish Courses
Copenhagen Danish Courses is the realisation of an old dream for me. I started my school in 2011 with a vision of creating a school with a different course program of the highest quality. I wanted to:
-
- give each student as much individual attention and self-confidence as possible when speaking and writing in Danish. I handle most of the teaching myself and can therefore vouch for the quality of our courses.
-
- make learning Danish a good and meaningful experience, and I have therefore developed all our course materials myself so that they are fun, effective and easy-to-understand.
As you can see from our student reviews, my vision and concept have been a great success among the more than 1000 students we have taught over the past 15 years!
Who am I?
I have a Master of Arts (Danish and French languages and literature) from the University of Copenhagen.
I speak 7 languages and have been interested in languages and teaching most of my life.
I have lived, worked and/or attended language courses for 10 years in Australia, 3 years in France and a total of 14 months in Spain, England, Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
The language courses abroad have been a great inspiration to me: partly to see how other language teachers teach, partly to be a student myself so that I can constantly get better at understanding the learning process of my students and integrate this knowledge and experience in my courses and course materials.
I am Danish, but many years ago, I lived in Australia with my son and then Australian husband for many years. I therefore know a lot about what it means to leave my own country to build up a new life in a foreign country.
How do I teach
Our students come from many different countries with very different culturel backgrounds. It is therefore really important to me that I meet each student with understanding, warmth, curiosity and respect.
I always try to create a safe and inspiring space where I can show my great interest in the individual student. I do my very best to motivate each student, to unlock their potential, and to make them proud of themselves! And I always give a ton of encouragement so that my students realise: Hey! I can do this!

Hanne Walbum is, without a doubt, a great teacher
Hanne Walbum is, without a doubt, a great teacher. And anyone who has had a great teacher knows the importance of one- especially when learning a language as difficult as danish. Her method of teaching, communication and listening skills, creativity, enthusiasm and knowledge make learning danish a positive and inspiring experience... (Click here to read more!)
… After trying many different danish courses in Copenhagen (several schools and private teachers), I found even more appreciation for Hanne and her competency as a language teacher as well as the effectiveness of her teaching methods. I haven’t found any other danish program or teacher in Copenhagen yet that I can honestly recommend.
Over the past year I have taken both group and individual classes at Copenhagen Danish Courses with Hanne; and in both settings the teaching methods were extremely effective and I learned a lot.
Hanne has been, and still is, invaluable in my path of learning danish. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly excellent danish teacher.

Excellent Danish teacher
If you’re looking for a patient, experienced, and competent Danish teacher, Hanne is the perfect choice! She explains grammar and pronunciation well, the teaching materials are very helpful, and the atmosphere in her classroom is very welcoming.
During my three-month intensive course, I looked forward to every lesson. Thank you, Hanne!
Hanne made learning Danish an incredible experience
