 Not readable August 4, 2008
Tasha Fitzpatrick (San Francisco, CA)
This book was too complicated and did not help out with pronounciation or speaking skills at all. It began at a very high level of difficulty, and didn't help my sister (who was going to Denmark for study abroad) at all.

Good course, which I am still working on, and I recommend getting the CD that accompanies the book (you can buy in on line), since the trick with learning Danish (as it is with English) is in the pronunciation. Good exercises and fairly good progression. Most helpful with a complete dansk-engelsk/English-Danish dictionary which you can find on-line at used booksellers. All in all it is a good way to learn current Danish.
Not for beginners... January 17, 2008

I would not recommend this book for beginners. There is not a lot of vocabulary in each lesson, so one is left constantly looking up words in a dictionary. Also, no real introduction to grammar and pronunciation. This book is pretty good if you have some basic knowledge of the language or if you know someone that already knows the language (preferably a natvie speaker) that can help you along.
Rather Amateur and not too well organized November 9, 2006

Let's face it, once you've zipped through Rosetta Stone Level one there is no level two or three - in Danish at least, so there's precious little out there if you want to get beyond boys jumping on or off tables and women pointing or not pointing!
This product is actually quite useful as a grammar primer - something totally lacking in most orally based instruction methods but as a tool for practising oral Danish it's rather limited - then again it's pretty cheap so I suppose you get what you pay for.

This has been the best book I have ever used when working on learning another language.
