Learning Danish at Skovsøen, our Danish language virtual immersion program will be an experience you’ll treasure for a lifetime. Learn the language and culture of Denmark from anywhere in the world you find yourself!
Skovsøen’s Virtual Village began in 2020 and allows villagers to learn Danish all year round. From one-week sessions in the summer to club sessions during the academic year, villagers are able to be immersed in the Danish culture and language from the comfort of their home.
Have fun learning everyday Danish you can really use with friends and in games, arts, sports, cooking, baking, environmental, historical and cultural activities.
Enhance your language skills with active learning! At a Skovsøen Virtual Village session, you may visit a Danish museum, sing traditional Danish songs or watch and discuss Danish dramas.
Activities are based in Danish culture and utilized to further villagers’ language acquisition.
In order to best take advantage of this interactive experience, you will need the resources necessary for e-learning (reliable internet access, a device per villager with a webcam and microphone) and any individual adaptive devices needed; headphones are recommended but not required. Use of Chromebooks is not recommended as villagers cannot access all the features of the Virtual Village platform. As a program of Concordia College, we are coordinating our efforts with the college so that all virtual platforms will have the necessary and appropriate security features to protect the privacy of users, including compliance with FERPA and COPPA.
We have multiple scholarship opportunities for those looking to attend a Virtual Village session at Skovsøen:
