Course content
The textbook ANDERS AXMARK FRA NAKSKOV OG HANS FAMILIE is intended for students of Danish at A2 level, loosely based on the textbook AKTIVT DANSK. It is based on sociological studies which divide the Danish population into 4 segments with an individualistic or community orientation on one axis and a materialistic or idealistic orientation on the other. Anders, his family and friends thus represent different groups in Danish society with different preferences and different ways of expressing themselves. The book consists of 7 parts, which are related in content and describe a coherent but often surprising course of events. Each part consists of a series of chapters, which in turn consist of a basic text, comprehension questions, pronunciation exercises, grammar exercises, exercises with idiomatic structures and free exercises that require internet searches. They progress from relatively simple exercises using only present tense forms to more complex constructions such as the use of the subjunctive, different types of sentences, conjunctions and hypothetical constructions.

Learning outcomes
In the sixth semester of Danish, the aim is to further expand the vocabulary of the language, acquire the ability to read more complex texts and consolidate phrases in everyday communication. We will work with a new textbook of a higher level - Anders Axmark og hans familie fra Nakskov (the author is the well-known Lise Bostrup.) In the real world this time we will focus on history, philosophy and geography.
During the 6th semester of Danish, you are expected to deepen your knowledge of the language, both in spoken and written form, and to understand texts that contain vocabulary frequently used in everyday life or that relate to your work or school. You can understand descriptions of events, feelings and wishes in personal letters. Listening With B1 level knowledge, you can understand the main ideas expressed in written language about common topics you encounter at work, school or in your leisure time. You can understand the meanings of many radio and television programmes on current affairs or topics related to your personal or professional areas of interest if they are spoken quite slowly and clearly. THINKING Oral interaction You can handle most situations that may arise when travelling in an area where the language is spoken. You can engage in conversation without preparation on topics that are familiar to you, of interest to you or that relate to everyday life (e.g. family, hobbies, work, travel and current affairs).
