My name is Katla and I am a native speaker of Danish and German. I also taught myself to speak native-level English, Swedish and Dutch, and I have a degree in comparative linguistics, specialising in north-germanic (ie. scandinavian) languages. So I have a few language learning tricks up my sleeve, I can share with you. Outside of teaching Danish here on italki, I am working towards a post-graduate degree in computer science. In my spare time I enjoy reading, cooking, coding, learning languages, spending time with friends and family as well as being in nature.
Moi en tant que professeur
Every student is different but I always try my best to create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere in my lessons. My approach to teaching is highly affirmative. This means that I won’t just help you learn Danish, I will also help you build your confidence. So that you can use what you have learned independently, confidently, and creatively with other native speakers. Even though I am a native speaker, I am aware of the fact that the Danish language and especially its pronunciation provides many challenges for language learners and mastering Danish won't happen overnight. But I will help you get there, however long it takes, and together we can make it fun!
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
I am a community tutor who teaches. This means that I will be more than just a conversation partner, I will also provide materials for us to work with. These include texts and audio recordings suited to your level, discussion questions, images, and exercises. They are designed to help you develop all aspects of your Danish, ie. your speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills, as well as your vocabulary. I also include a little grammar but not so much that it becomes boring. My courses are designed to take you from total beginner to native level. In the end, however, it is you who decides what you most want to work on. I will design each class specific to your learning needs and goals.

Katla is an exceptional Danish teacher. She is very patient, always waiting for me to express myself, which greatly helps my output practices. Her detailed explanations and personal approach are also super helpful. I highly recommend her lessons for anyone wanting to improve their Danish.

I've been practising Danish with Katla for almost a year and she has really helped me improve, both with my vocab/grammar but most importantly my confidence. She is great at creating a safe space where you don't feel embarrassed to make mistakes. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to take their Danish to the next level!

After seven lessons with Katla I have found her to be an attentive, positive and hard working teacher.
She is great at giving positive reinforcement and encouragement. She will both take into account her students wishes whilst also herself identifying things that need to be worked on. And she frequently checks in to make sure that I am happy and comfortable with the lessons.
She provides interesting and engaging lesson materials which are often tailored to my requests and interests. She is also more than capable of improvising and answering unforeseen questions.
All in all I think Katla is an excellent teacher and I would recommend her lessons wholeheartedly.
