Danish for people who moved to Denmark and have to use the language for real — at the kommune, at the doctor's, at work, with the neighbors.
WHAT IS INSIDE
• 11,368 Danish words and phrases from A1 to C1, the most frequent first
• 351 reading texts from A1 to C1, including a four-episode story series — tap any word to see what it means and which form it is
• 72 grammar rules, each with an explanation, and 2,675 drills: en / et, the definite ending, plurals, word order, where ikke goes
• The alphabet and pronunciation from zero: æ, ø, å, the soft d, silent letters, stød
• 8 role-plays: the doctor, the pharmacy, Borgerservice, the jobcenter, the landlord, the kindergarten, a clothes shop, the first day at work
• 159 short facts about the language
LIFE IN DENMARK
The words of the system you actually deal with: borger.dk, MitID, e-Boks, SKAT, the kommune, the jobcenter, the health card, the rental contract.
SCAN A LETTER
Photograph a letter and every word in it becomes tappable. Dates, payment deadlines and amounts in kroner are picked out. The text is read on your phone and the photo is never uploaded.
WORDS FOR WORK CERTIFICATES
Vocabulary for nine certificates people need to get a job: the driving theory test (kørekort), taxi, hygiejnebevis, first aid, forklift, arbejdsmiljø, hot work, door staff and serveringsbevis. These are the words and terms — not exam preparation, and not a replacement for the course.
HOW IT WORKS
Spaced repetition shows a word exactly when you are about to forget it. Gender (en / et) is learned with the word, not from a separate list. Tap an inflected word in a text and the app names the form. Examples are read aloud by your phone's Danish voice.
WALK MODE
Start it and put the phone in your pocket: the word, a pause to remember it, the meaning, the word again. Works with the screen locked.
OFFLINE, NO ACCOUNT
Everything lives on the device. No sign-up, no ads, and your progress is never uploaded. Anonymous usage statistics help us fix what breaks; one switch in the app turns them off.
FREE
20 new words a day (50 on the first day), unlimited reviews, the first 4 texts and the first 8 grammar rules — forever, with no trial period.
DANSK PRO
Removes the daily limit and opens every text, every grammar drill, all certificate themes, the placement test and your personal path. Monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
Interface: Ukrainian, English, Finnish, Swedish — those four languages and no others.

A handbook: how to learn a language
New on the You tab. Six stages, from your first two weeks to C1: what to do
every day and every week, how to tell you are ready for the next stage, the
usual mistakes, and a tap that opens the right part of the app. Plus what
learning science actually shows, a page of life hacks, and a part about
Danish itself: what is hard (stød, tens counted in twenties), what is easy,
false friends, where to hear Danish, and words & terms for work certificates.
Gender and plural, straight from the dictionary
5,187 new noun cards built from the tables of Retskrivningsordbogen: en or
et for the 1,500 most frequent nouns, then the plural and the definite
plural, with all 813 exceptions to the rules: mand → mænd, øje → øjne,
museum → museer. Every wrong option tells you which form it is and why it
does not fit here.
Numbers at speed, and the clock
A round now mixes five kinds of card: hear a number and type it, see it and
pick the word, hear it and pick the digits (13 or 30? 25 or 52?), read the
word and type the digits, or catch two or three numbers in a row. New: the
clock. Turn the hands and hear how Danes say the time, every five minutes,
144 phrases checked by hand. Then race it in a 60-second round.
Dialect map
In Language facts: tap Jutland, Funen, Zealand or Bornholm to see how people
speak there and how close it is to the Danish the app teaches. «Æ hus» in
western Jutland, the sing-song of Funen.
Danish words in iPhone search
Swipe down on the Home Screen and type a word in Danish, Ukrainian, English
or your interface language. Its card opens straight in Dansk. You can switch
it off in You › Settings.
Siri and Shortcuts
"Start a lesson in Dansk", "Word of the day in Dansk", "Play the next story
in Dansk", "How many words do I know in Dansk". The same four actions are in
the Shortcuts app.
101 new word pictures
Drawn by hand: potato, butter, scarf, doctor, cow, passport and more. About
130 more Danish words now show a picture next to their meaning.
