Danish language modules — DU1, DU2, DU3 and Modules 1–6 explained
The Danish sprogskole system is confusing if you are new. There are three Danskuddannelse tracks (DU1, DU2, DU3), each split into Modules 1–6, each ending in a Prøve i Dansk exam. This guide explains which track and module you belong to, and how DanskAI helps you progress between lessons.

The three Danskuddannelse tracks
• Danskuddannelse 1 (DU1): for adults with limited schooling in their home country. Slower pace, more focus on basic literacy. Ends with Prøve i Dansk 1. • Danskuddannelse 2 (DU2): for adults who completed primary school but no further academic study. Ends with Prøve i Dansk 2 (B1). • Danskuddannelse 3 (DU3): for adults with secondary or higher education. Faster pace, more academic. Ends with Prøve i Dansk 3 (B2), with Studieprøven as an extension to C1.
Modules 1 to 6 — what each one covers
• Module 1: greetings, numbers, present tense, basic survival Danish (A1) • Module 2: family, daily routines, simple past tense, prepositions (A1→A2) • Module 3: opinions, comparing, perfect tense, common workplace Danish (A2) • Module 4: longer texts, future tense, complex sentence structures (A2→B1 / B1) • Module 5: argument writing, abstract topics, exam preparation (B1→B2) • Module 6 (DU3 only / Studieprøven): academic Danish, complex argumentation, C1
How DanskAI fits your module
Tell DanskAI your current module in your profile and corrections, vocabulary suggestions and quiz difficulty automatically calibrate to your level. You will not be drowned in C1 vocabulary if you are in Module 2, and you will not be bored with A1 drills if you are preparing for PD3.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which Danskuddannelse track I am on?
Your sprogskole assigns you based on an intake interview that assesses your educational background and language ability. If you are unsure, ask your study advisor (studievejleder).
How long does each module take?
Typically 3–6 months, depending on whether you study full-time or evening classes. The full DU3 path from Module 1 to PD3 usually takes 2–3 years.
Can DanskAI tell me what module I am on?
Indirectly — set your goal exam (PD2, PD3, Studieprøven) and DanskAI estimates your CEFR level from your writing, mapping back to the corresponding module range.
