Colloquial Danish consists of eighteen units, each containing about ninety new words. Each unit is built around a series of smaller units including texts, dialogues, explanatory language points and exercises. On pages x–xiv there is a brief pronunciation guide, a review of the main language points, a key to exercises and English–Danish and Danish–English glossaries. Below, we explain the aim of the various units and the best way of working with them. If you want to derive maximum benefit from the book, we suggest you do not skip this introduction!
