Danish Language and Culture

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This class will introduce you to Danish language as well as Danish culture. You will never be able to immerse yourself in a culture unless you know just a little bit of the local language. The course will explore how language serves as an opener to culture. The language itself and the interactional conventions and etiquette reveal something of the values and worldviews that form everyday life in a community and how we perceive others and ourselves. By analyzing keywords and concepts and applying appropriate etiquette while speaking the language, you learn how to navigate in a foreign culture.
