Rosetta
There's no Danish on Rosetta Stone. We read its 25 languages on October 24, 2026, and Swedish was the only Nordic one.
DanishClass101 and Glossika teach Danish too, and both are in our Danish comparison.
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Danish. You learn from Danish you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Poppy, your AI tutor, shapes Bubblegum's Danish lessons around your week, whether that's a new job in Odense or dinner with your partner's parents.
- Chat through a lunch break with a coworker in Aarhus, speaking Danish with Poppy in live voice chat.
- A Danish noun's card shows its four forms, so you can see where the ending for "the" goes.
- Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.
- A Danish crime novel on your nightstand can't become a lesson. Paste the paragraph that puzzles you into the chat, and Poppy walks through each sentence.
- A new custom lesson costs us real money to make, so your first one is free, and Bubblegum Pro gives you unlimited custom lessons. The lesson library is free for everyone, because we believe everyone should be able to learn.

- About 910,000 learners take Danish from English on Duolingo, its course list says.

Pimsleur
