Opgave 1
What this task is about
This part of the test is about talking in a connected and understandable way about your own experiences, opinions, and habits.
You will prepare two topics before the test. These topics must be things you have real, personal experience with and be suitable for a short presentation where you can explain and give examples. The topics should relate to your life in Denmark, but they may also involve school, education, or previous work in your home country.
Typical topics include:
My job or previous job
My education or studies
My experiences learning Danish
My health habits (for example exercise, diet, smoking)
My green habits (for example recycling, transport, energy use)
My free-time interest (for example fitness, dancing, sewing, a course)
My digital habits (for example social media or online shopping)
Some topics are not suitable at this level, such as “My home”, “My family”, or “My everyday life”, because they are usually too simple and don’t allow enough explanation.
For each topic, you prepare a mind map.
The mind map must contain keywords only, not full sentences.
The mind map is a support, not a script — reading aloud is not allowed.
You bring both mind maps with you to the test.
What happens in the test
The test has two parts, and both parts are included in the overall assessment.
Part 1 (about 1–2 minutes)
You randomly choose one of your two topics.
The examiner cannot see your mind map.
You speak about the topic using your keywords as support.
The goal is to speak in a reasonably connected way about something you know well — explaining what you do, what you think, and what your experience is.
Part 2 (about 3–4 minutes)
The examiner asks follow-up questions about your topic.
The questions invite you to explain more, give examples, or briefly justify your opinions.
You don’t need to talk about every part of the mind map.
The goal is to understand the questions and respond relevantly, even if your language is simple and not perfect.
What is being assessed
The examiners are not looking for advanced or perfect Danish.
They want to see that you can:
Speak in connected Danish about familiar topics
Explain experiences and preferences
Answer follow-up questions meaningfully
Stay on topic and keep communication going
This reflects real-life situations such as talking with colleagues, explaining choices, or discussing everyday matters at work or in education.
In short
Prepare two suitable topics, practice speaking from keywords, focus on coherence and explanation, and aim to be clear and understandable rather than perfect.
Opgave 2
What this task is about
Task 2 focuses on interaction. You work together with another course participant and talk about a shared topic.
The task is designed like real life: you exchange opinions, ask questions, and explain your preferences based on what you see.
You talk about situations shown in pictures and relate them to your own experience.
What the material looks like
Each task consists of:
One topic
Four pictures related to that topic
The pictures show different situations, choices, or ways of doing something — for example related to work, education, leisure, habits, or everyday life.
What happens in the test
Part 1: Pair task (about 4 minutes)
You and your partner sit together and receive the same pictures.
You talk about all four pictures.
You must:
Ask each other questions
Express your preferences
Briefly explain why you prefer one situation over another
The conversation should be balanced and cooperative. It should feel like a focused discussion, not two separate presentations.
Part 2: Individual follow-up (about 3 minutes per person)
After the pair task, the examiner asks you individual follow-up questions.
You are asked to explain your preferences and relate the topic to your own experience.
The goal is to give short explanations and examples, not long or complex arguments.
What is being assessed
The task is assessed as a whole.
The examiners want to see whether you can:
Participate actively in a conversation
Ask and answer questions
Express opinions and preferences
Explain experiences in a simple but connected way
What to focus on when preparing
This task tests whether you can:
Use Danish interactively
Express viewpoints politely and clearly
Explain everyday choices and experiences
Think of it as a guided conversation, not a performance. You are not being tested on advanced grammar, but on whether communication works and makes sense.
