Danish & English · your path to fluency
Language teaching for professionals, their partners and new arrivals who want to live and work in another language — and a translation service for when words and meaning have to be exactly right.
Fluency is a skill you use, not a certificate you earn
Rødgrød is a language consultancy for anyone who wants to live fully in Danish or English — professionals navigating meetings and negotiations, partners settling into a new life here, or simply people who want to speak with more ease and confidence. I teach the language you'll actually use: at work, at the school gate, with neighbours, in the conversations that make a place feel like home.
Every session starts from where you are. No fixed syllabus. Just a clear path from your current level to what you want to achieve.
From everyday essentials — the school gate, the supermarket, the doctor's — to confident fluency at work. For newcomers finding their footing and for near-native speakers wanting to perfect their language.
Presentations, negotiation and correspondence — plus the everyday English of meeting people, settling in, and feeling at home in the conversation.
Information material, reports, web copy — and personal documents — translated and refined between Danish and English. Accurate and natural.
A course built entirely around your goals, pace and schedule — the fastest route to real progress, whatever you're working towards.
Shared momentum for colleagues, couples, families or friends learning together, with content tailored to your group.
Live sessions wherever you are.
All prices excl. VAT. Group rates are quoted per engagement, whatever the group — colleagues, couples, families or friends. Start with a free intro consultation.
Why Rødgrød? Ask any non-Dane to say "rødgrød med fløde" and watch them try — it's a beloved Danish dessert and, unofficially, a rite of passage for anyone learning the language.
Language is more than grammar and vocabulary. At its core, it's about communication and connection — and the ability to master the language whether you're at the school gates, in a meeting, or simply finding the words to express who you are.
Native Danish, I lived, worked, and raised a family in London for 25 years before relocating back to Denmark. I have spent 18 years teaching language at an international school in Denmark — an experience that gave me a firsthand, unique insight into navigating a new language and culture, both in everyday life and the workplace. That experience became the foundation for Rødgrød.
I teach linguistics. But more than that, I teach confidence. My approach is bespoke, built around your words, your context, and your vision for where language should take you.
Alongside teaching, I also translate — across English and Danish. Recent projects include translating a company website into English and translation work for a museum.
