Today we chatted a lot about our holiday. I also had a couple of further questions to ask Christina about completing my application form, as I'm about to send it all off to the Danish Home Office. Christina has been an invaluable help with all of this.

We continued reading about Anders Axmark. It's really great for developing descriptive vocabulary and simply pure enjoyment, as his character is hilarious!

Really enjoyed today's lesson. After the essential grammar input, applying the three rule endings to verbs, Christina introduced a fun and hilarious fictional character, Anders Axmark, to practise reading and translating - I couldn't stop laughing!

Christina helped me with the application form for Danish naturalisation. There was a lot of very bespoke language, which I needed to follow clearly.

We discussed the Greenland crisis and its history. Christina has forwarded a link, which I can watch to discover more made by Danish TV.

Christina always has some fascinating historical context to share in a lesson, and current affairs. She shared a current news story about the Danish parliament's/ royal ceremony and reaction to a protester over Greenland.

Teaching Approach
My first goal is ensuring that you have the opportunity to speak and practice a maximum amount of the time during each lesson.
At starter level we will familiarize ourselves with daily subjects while assimilating useful vocabulary and grammatical principles.
At higher levels, we will only speak the target language. I challenge my students with interesting texts and conversation subjects that help develop fluency and confidence.
Regardless of the level, a strong foreign accent makes communication difficult. I therefore pay special attention to improving and perfecting pronunciation.
