Personalized Instruction for Fast Results
Founded by Mikkel Ahlburg in 2019, AB Danish was created to offer a more engaging and effective teaching method that gets results faster. Drawing on years of experience teaching diverse international groups in Denmark and abroad, Mikkel believes that learning should be a personal journey, adapted to suit each student’s unique needs and objectives.
This personalized approach makes the learning process more efficient and allows employees to balance their full-time jobs, family commitments, and personal time—without sacrificing progress in their language skills.
Meet the Founder – Mikkel Ahlburg
“I want to offer each person the best possible way to learn Danish. And the best results are achieved when the lessons are adapted to the level, needs, and goals of each student. When the students are motivated and the lessons are flexible, they have time for their full-time job, family, and hobbies,” says Mikkel Ahlburg, founder of AB Danish.
With a focus on making each lesson relevant, engaging, and immediately applicable to the student’s professional and social life, Mikkel and his team ensure that every session contributes meaningfully to the learner’s success.
