Hi, I’m Michael.
When people hear me speak Danish (or Spanish or Italian) they often think I’m someone who is ‘gifted’ at learning languages.
But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
10 years ago, I took a beginner Spanish course at university – and failed miserably. 2 years in and I thought that maybe languages just weren’t for me.
Then I took matters into my own hands, speaking every day, immersing myself in the culture, and working on my pronunciation. By the time my final exam rolled around, I spoke like a local, and achieved a first class honours in Spanish language.
Speaking a foreign language – especially one as unique as Danish – is one of the most magical feelings in the world.
Imagine yourself 3 months from now, walking into a room and confidently speaking Danish – all those weird sounds flowing out comfortably, helping you build connections and deepening your understanding of the culture.
I know how to get you there.
Rogue Tongue is my way to spread my passion for language, in the hope that everyone can experience that magical moment.
