Welcome

New tutorials and a brand new masterclass

Welcome to the oldest school of Greenlandic L2 and the most comprehensive and best established study material available.

Learn Greenlandic with Per Langgård. Modules 1-2 have now been revised and expanded with new advanced functionalities and the system has been tested on several concrete experimental classes at 4 different levels of competence. Concomitant with this upgrade a new Module 3 has been released in a test version and updated/ new material will gradually be released in the years to come. Everything is open source that anyone with a wish to acquire the ability to communicate properly in Greenlandic in the real world of Greenland is free to use provided that the user is able to form and maintain a study group.

The bottom line is that there is no excuse for not getting going with the process to acquire this fascinating language!! You can click here for a study plan we from experience know is best practice

Students unable to form a study group themselves or students who feel uncomfortable with self study can choose to join one of our tutorial classes at a very low expense. For a list of tutorial groups click here.

Since the turn of the year Per has tested a masterclass conducted in Danish for students with a background of at least one or two years of efficient study. See more about this option (in Danish) here. A masterclass with English instruction language has not yet been developed but in case of interest you may contact me at mail@learngreenlandic.com to report your interest.

The revised Learn Greenlandic with Per Langgård has been expanded with new and advanced facilities. After the experimental classes the bottom line is that our students

  • have started to communicate in real Greenlandic better and sooner than ever seen before – both our own former students and students from other language schools
  • “survive” (lower drop-out rate) better than normal in Greenlandic L2 teaching
  • are qualified users of the many free tools they in the long term cannot be without on their journey into Greenlandic speech and text in the real world outside the L2 classroom
  • have obtained their results for free or at very low expenses. All teaching material from start till the most advanced level are readily available open source

We know from both concrete observations and from scientific theory that the bullets above are more than abstract postulates. Check out how the students themselves evaluate their results and click here for a compressed review of contemporary L2 theory and with it much of an explanation of why our results are as significant as they are.

Tutorials

Learn Greenlandic with Per Langgård is designed for self-study but formal networks and structured work routines strengthen acquisition for the vast majority of learners. A tutorial is an offer of an acquisition process according to a preset progression plan with a tutor at hand. A tutor is a student who completed at least one year of study with good results. Tutors invite to and partake as resource-person in the online meetings and they make sure that meetings are streamed and distributed to all students. Per Langgård will if needed join the group meetings ad hoc.

Tutorials are formed when at least 8 students enroll. Tutorials run for a good 20 weeks including holidays and the like with 15 sessions with your tutors and a few programmed group studies. Formal exams can be arranged after tutorials for students who need/want formal tests. The tutorial fee for beginners’ tutorials is 1,750 DKK and for tutorials at more advanced levels 2,500 DKK.  See the tutorial plan here.

For individual examination and issuing of diploma a fee of 500 DKK will be charged.
