Me as a Teacher
I taught over 4.000 online lessons in Danish, one-on-one. I started teaching Danish online 6 years ago. Before then, I was teaching English (one-on-one) in China. I took several long and short time courses in teaching and studying techniques. I am supportive and patient to the extreme, but I only teach students who prepare for the lessons. With a well prepared student we change activity every 5 - 10 minutes. I can give help with efficient studying techniques.
My lessons & teaching style
BEGINNERS: The first 6 to 10 lessons we focus on pronunciation, comprehension, and (simple) conversation: questions and answers. I make pronunciation a lot easier with simple phonetics. We start simple conversation from our first lesson. Pronunciation often includes training a few new sounds, so I recommend 2 - 3 lessons per week these first lessons.
INTERMEDIATE: We focus on understanding/comprehension, and sentence building (complex sentences). We do reading, exercises of all kinds, impromptu, dictation, description of what you see on a picture, role plays, you name it. If we identify gaps in your basics, we fill in. We practice conversation, and I correct a written exercise per lesson.

I've just finished my 6th lesson with Jørgen and I cant tell you how much I'm enjoying his lessons. They're well planned so you know exactly what you have to prepare and he keeps the lessons moving at a great pace.

Because of you I don't think that Danish pronunciation is scary!

I really enjoyed our lesson, today. We just started some very basic conversation in Danish between us. I appreciate Jørgen's attentiveness to accurate pronunciation--this is very important to me.
