FVU-Danish and FVU-start

FVU Danish and FVU start are free courses for you who can already speak and understand Danish at a basic level, but who want to get better at reading and writing Danish.

The teaching is based on your needs and the language you can use at work and in leisure. It strengthens your understanding of the Danish language and Danish culture, and gives you skills that help you in your everyday life.

At FVU-start, you strengthen your vocabulary and your linguistic correctness. The course focuses on spoken and written Danish, which is relevant to you in your everyday life. In order to participate, you must be able to hold small conversations in Danish.

FVU Danish strengthens your vocabulary, your reading speed and improves your writing. You can participate in FVU Danish when you have passed FVU start or have a similar level.

At FVU-Danish, you obtain skills in reading, writing and using different texts that are relevant to you in your everyday life. The texts can be messages, letters, e-mails, magazines, newspapers, instructions or texts from your workplace.

    For FVU start, the test consists of you talking to a supervisor and telling about yourself, about why you want to go to FVU and what your plans are for the future. You must also read a text and write an e-mail or a text about yourself.

    For FVU-Danish, the test consists of an electronic screening and a writing task on paper. The screening consists of three parts: A reading task, a task in word knowledge and a task in hearing the sounds of the letters.

    If you have participated in FVU within the past two years, you must speak to a supervisor who will assess whether you can start without being tested again.
