PD3 FAQ
(in Danish)
Ervin, kan du garantere at jeg med din metode kan bestå PD3 med høje karakterer?
Der er ingen garanti. Det kommer meget an på:
- dit eksisterende danskniveau:
- er du fx på modul 3? Modul 3+? Modul 4? Eller er du startet på modul 5?
- har du andre sprogfærdigheder, fx. engelsk (altså evne til at tilegne sig et nyt sprog)
- hvor mange timer om ugen du kan bruge på at lære dansk
- om der er mange 'distraktionskilder' i dit liv (fx arbejde, børn, familieliv, osv.)
- din 'sprog-intelligens' og dine læringsfærdigheder
- hvor lang tid du har boet i Danmark
- om du har købt 'PD3 full' og bruger tid på at gennemgå materialet

Skal man købe PD3 full for at deltage?
Nej. Men det er optimalt for de kursister, som ønsker at bestå med 7, 7, 10 at købe PD3 pakken”PD3 full”, men samtidig synes jeg at min undervisning skal være tilgængelig for alle.
Jeg vil i min undervisning bruge min online-PD3-pakke og referere løbende til den. Valgfrit hjemmearbejde vil også være fra den samme online-PD3-pakke.
Bedste hilsener
