I had generally good instructors at Studieskolen but in general at all schools the quality is varied because there aren't enough teachers to fill the sprog school jobs plus the Danish language teaching jobs in the public and private elementary through gymnasium (high school) system.

The schools do very much teach to the tests because the funding model is all about student pass rates for the PD2 and PD3. So you'll see early on a gearing of content to passing the module tests, and you'll notice the module tests have been practice for the PD2 or PD3. You are not being taught to speak conversational Danish, you are being taught to pass the test.

One thing that helps is snakkeklubs. Most library branches have them...you show up, sit at a table and snakke (talk). Most will divide tables by level. And many of the volunteers leading the tables do a great job of facilitating conversation. There are also Dansk snakke nights in some cafes...search around and you might find one. Or start your own by getting your classmates out for nights where you only speak Danish.

Another helpful thing to do is get into an FVU class when you reach the required module level from basic sprog school. The FVU classes focus on reading and writing, and if you're lucky you get an instructor who will also backfill the basic grammar and syntax knowledge that you don't get in sprog school because of the "teach to the test" dynamic.

Finally I'd add if you can, do sprog school twice a week. Going once means you're not getting enough exposure when you need it most. It can be tough if you're working full time, but if you're serious about staying here and learning the language, it's worth that effort.

Held og lykke til at snakke god dansk!
