Language School
Lolland Language School is a municipal language school with branches in Nakskov and Maribo. We have 14 teachers and approx. 340 students spread over more than 30 nationalities, and we have room for you, too.
The schools main aim is to teach Danish language and culture. They offer courses at all levels, depending on how much Danish you already know and how easy you learn, the school will help you to choose the right level and course. The language school wants everybody to succeed and know how to understand, speak and write Danish on their own level and in their own speed.
On every level, you will have different learning goals and you will have to prove your skills in tests (understanding, reading writing and communication test) which will give you the required access to the next step in your Danish education.
Why learn Danish?
Learning Danish will give you a better understanding of Denmark, it will most likely make you feel more at home and you will be able to integrate at work and particularly in Danish society.
In most Danish companies, working language is Danish. In some workplaces there is even a requirement that you speak Danish or at least that you intend to learn it.
Learning Danish will also open up so many more areas of your life in Denmark. It will make it easier to be part of a network and make friends, you will feel less isolated when you learn Danish.
Attending language school and going through the gradual path of the education opens up many new opportunities for studying or take courses. If you want to study in Denmark, you need to attend language school and reach a certain level of Danish skills.
