Opgave 1
This part of the test is about talking simply and clearly about your own life.
You will prepare two topics before the test. These topics must be things you have real personal experience with. At least one of them must be about work, internship, education, or language school.
The possible topics are:
- My job
- My internship
- My studies
- My language school
- My home
- My free-time activity
If you choose “My free-time activity”, it must be a real, regular activity, for example fitness, football, swimming, a club, or a course. It only works if you actually do it.
For each topic, you make a mind map.
The mind map must contain keywords only, not full sentences.
If a category doesn’t fit your life, you are allowed to replace it with something similar.
You bring both mind maps with you to the test.
What happens in the test
The test has two parts, and you must pass both.
Part 1 (1–2 minutes)
You randomly choose one of your two mind maps.
The examiner cannot see your mind map.
You speak freely about the topic using your keywords.
The goal is to speak simply, clearly, and more or less coherently about something you know well.
Part 2 (3–4 minutes)
The examiner asks simple follow-up questions about what you said.
You don’t have to talk about every part of the mind map.
The examiner focuses on things where there is something to explain or expand on.
The goal is to answer relevant questions in a reasonable way, using simple language.
What is being assessed
The examiners are not looking for advanced Danish.
They want to see that you can:
- Talk in simple Danish about your own life
- Stay on topic
- Answer basic questions appropriately
This reflects real-life situations, like talking at work, during breaks, or about everyday life.
In short:
Prepare two real-life topics, practice speaking from keywords, keep your language simple, and focus on being understandable rather than perfect.
Opgave 2
What this task is about
Task 2 is a pair activity. You work together with another course participant.
The situation is designed like real life: one person has information, the other doesn’t.
Your job is to get information by asking questions.
You ask and answer questions about a person you do not know, using photos and keywords.
The focus is on whether you can ask simple, clear, relevant questions in Danish.
What the material looks like
Each task is a case with photos and keywords.
There are six different cases in total.
Each case has:
- An A-sheet: photos + keywords to help you ask questions
- A B-sheet: photos only, used to answer questions
Each case covers two topics, for example:
- Work
- Education
- Language school
- Home
- Free time
Each topic has three categories, and you must ask one question per category.
What happens in the test
You and your partner sit face to face and cannot see each other’s paper.
Round 1
- One of you is A, the other is B
- A receives the A-sheet and must ask six questions
- The questions must:
- Be based on the photos and keywords
- Be yes/no questions or wh-questions (who, where, when, how, etc.)
- Be focused and relevant
- You must not ask questions about the portrait photo at the top
- B answers using the photos on the B-sheet
Round 2
- You switch roles
- You get a new case
- The process repeats
What is important to understand
Only the person asking the questions is assessed in this task.
Your ability to answer questions is assessed in Task 1, not here.
You must ask exactly one good question per category.
Questions that are too general, unclear, or not connected to the photo or topic do not count.
How you are assessed
- You get 1 point per acceptable question
- You need 4–6 points to pass
- This means you don’t need perfection, but you do need focused questions
What to focus on when preparing
This task tests whether you can:
- Ask simple, factual questions
- Use Danish in a practical, work-related way
- Get information politely and clearly
Think of it as a structured information hunt.
You are not being tested on creativity or long sentences, but on whether your questions make sense and match what you see.
