1Læs teksten og svar på spørgsmålet. (Read the text and answer the question.) Jakob arbejder på et kontor i København. Han cykler til arbejde hver dag, men i dag er vejret meget dårligt. Hvad gør Jakob sandsynligvis i dag? (What does Jakob probably do today?)

A.Han cykler alligevel til arbejde (He cycles to work anyway)

B.Han tager offentlig transport (He takes public transport)

C.Han bliver hjemme (He stays home)

D.Han kører med sin chef (He rides with his boss)

Explanation: The text says Jakob cycles every day but today the weather is very bad. The most logical conclusion is that he takes public transport instead. This is a typical B1 reading inference question where the candidate must deduce likely behavior from context rather than find a directly stated answer.

2Vælg den rigtige sætningsstruktur i en bisætning. (Choose the correct sentence structure in a subordinate clause.) 'Jeg ved, at hun ___ ikke ___ hjem tidligt.' Hvad er den rigtige ordstilling? (What is the correct word order?)

A.kommer ... ikke (comes ... not)

B.ikke ... kommer (not ... comes)

C.kommer ikke (comes not — as a main clause)

D.ikke kan komme (cannot come)

Explanation: In Danish subordinate clauses introduced by 'at', the adverb (ikke, aldrig, altid) comes BEFORE the finite verb. So 'hun ikke kommer' is correct. This is the key V2 vs. sub-clause rule: in main clauses the verb is in position 2, but in subordinate clauses negation/adverbs precede the verb.

3Hvad betyder ordet 'ansøgning'? (What does the word 'ansøgning' mean?)

A.An advertisement (en reklame)

B.An application (e.g. for a job or permit)

C.A complaint (en klage)

D.A receipt (en kvittering)

Explanation: 'Ansøgning' means 'application' in the sense of applying for a job, a permit, a course place, or a benefit. It is a core B1 civic and workplace vocabulary item appearing in letters, emails, and government texts at this level.

4Lyt til teksten og svar. (Listen to the text and answer.) En kvinde ringer til et lægehus. Hun siger: 'Jeg har haft feber i tre dage og hoster meget.' Hvad er årsagen til hendes opkald? (What is the reason for her call?)

A.Hun vil have en recept fornyelse (She wants a prescription renewal)

B.Hun vil bestille en tid hos lægen (She wants to book a doctor's appointment)

C.Hun vil spørge om åbningstider (She wants to ask about opening hours)

D.Hun vil betale en regning (She wants to pay a bill)

Explanation: The woman explains she has had a fever for three days and is coughing a lot. The most logical reason for calling a doctor's office with these symptoms is to book an appointment. B1 listening texts frequently involve telephone calls to healthcare, public offices, or service providers.

5Vælg den korrekte form af verbet 'at have' i perfektum. (Choose the correct perfect tense form of 'at have'.) 'Jeg ___ aldrig set det program.' (I have never seen that program.)

A.havde (had — past tense)

B.har (have — present perfect auxiliary)

C.have (infinitive)

D.haves (passive form)

Explanation: The present perfect (perfektum) in Danish is formed with 'har' (have) + past participle. 'Jeg har aldrig set' = I have never seen. The auxiliary 'har' is used for actions with present relevance. 'Havde' would make it past perfect (pluskvamperfektum).

6Læs opslaget og svar. (Read the notice and answer.) 'Fællesvaskeriet er åbent alle hverdage fra kl. 7.00 til 21.00. I weekenden er det lukket for rengøring. Vask skal bookes via app'en.' Hvornår kan beboerne IKKE bruge vaskeriet? (When can residents NOT use the laundry room?)

A.Om morgenen på hverdage (On weekday mornings)

B.I weekenden (At the weekend)

C.Om aftenen på hverdage (On weekday evenings)

D.Når app'en er nede (When the app is down)

Explanation: The notice explicitly states the communal laundry room is closed at weekends for cleaning. This is a straightforward factual retrieval task common in PD2 reading: candidates must locate specific stated information in a short practical text.

7Vælg den rigtige relativpronomen. (Choose the correct relative pronoun.) 'Den mand, ___ bor nede ad gaden, arbejder på hospitalet.' (The man who lives down the street works at the hospital.)

A.hvem (who — object form)

B.der (who/which — subject relative pronoun)

C.som (who/which — subject or object relative pronoun)

D.hvilken (which — formal/written)

Explanation: 'Der' is used as a subject relative pronoun referring to a specific antecedent (here 'den mand'). 'Som' is also possible but 'der' is the more common spoken and written choice when the relative pronoun is the SUBJECT of the relative clause. Both 'der' and 'som' are correct, but 'der' is the expected B1 answer.

8Hvad betyder 'at søge om noget'? (What does 'at søge om noget' mean?)

A.To search online for something

B.To apply for something (formally)

C.To ask a question about something

D.To look for a lost item

Explanation: 'At søge om' means to apply for or make a formal application for something, such as 'søge om opholdstilladelse' (apply for a residence permit) or 'søge om kontanthjælp' (apply for welfare benefits). This phrasal verb is critical B1 civic vocabulary.

9Lyt til samtalen og svar. (Listen to the conversation and answer.) To kolleger snakker. Anders siger: 'Jeg synes, vi burde mødes om fredagen i stedet for om torsdagen.' Maria svarer: 'Det kan vi godt, men kun hvis chefen er enig.' Hvad er Maria enig i? (What does Maria agree to?)

A.That meetings should be cancelled

B.That the meeting could move to Friday, subject to the boss's approval

C.That Thursday is a better day than Friday

D.That Anders should speak to the boss alone

Explanation: Maria says 'Det kan vi godt' (We can do that) but adds the condition 'kun hvis chefen er enig' (only if the boss agrees). She is conditionally accepting the suggestion — agreeing in principle but making it contingent on managerial approval. B1 listening tests frequently focus on nuanced agreement/disagreement.

10Vælg den korrekte konjunktion. (Choose the correct conjunction.) 'Han kom ikke til mødet, ___ han var syg.' (He did not come to the meeting because he was sick.)

A.selvom (even though)

B.fordi (because)

C.men (but)

D.når (when/whenever)

Explanation: 'Fordi' introduces a causal subordinate clause explaining the reason for the main clause. 'Han kom ikke til mødet, fordi han var syg' correctly explains the cause. Note that 'fordi' always requires an inversion of the regular adverb placement in its subordinate clause.

Prøve i Dansk 2 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Download the official sample exams (prøveeksempler) from danskogproever.dk — PD2 sample papers for læseforståelse and lytteforståelse are freely available and show exactly the text length, task format, and question types you will face.

2Master subordinate clause word order: after conjunctions like 'at', 'fordi', 'selvom', 'hvis', 'da', and 'når', negation ('ikke') and adverbs come BEFORE the finite verb — 'Jeg ved, at han ikke kommer' not 'at han kommer ikke'. This is the single most tested B1 grammar point.

3Build civic vocabulary systematically: 'opholdstilladelse' (residence permit), 'ansøgning' (application), 'folkeregister' (population register), 'dagpenge' (unemployment benefit), 'sygedagpenge' (sick pay), 'vuggestue/børnehave' (nursery/kindergarten). These words appear in nearly every PD2 reading text.

4For lytteforståelse, practise identifying speaker attitude and purpose in addition to facts — many B1 listening tasks require you to infer whether a speaker is certain or uncertain, agreeing or refusing, recommending or warning.

5Study Danish modal particles in context: 'jo' (shared knowledge — 'as we all know'), 'nok' (probably/reassurance), 'vel' (I suppose/seeking confirmation), 'vist' (apparently). These particles appear throughout spoken and written B1 Danish and signal attitude rather than propositional content.

6Practise reading authentic Danish texts: municipality letters (kommunebreve), job postings (stillingsopslag), health information leaflets, and newspaper articles at B1 level. These genres mirror the exact text types in PD2 læseforståelse and will build both vocabulary and reading speed.
