Plan A — Zero to PD2 (125 days)

Take a PD2 past-paper reading section cold — no study first. Time yourself (45 min). Score it. This number is your honest baseline.

Read the grammar overview: V2 word order, tense system, modal verbs, adjective agreement. Don't memorise — just orient yourself.

Listen to the first 50 Oral-383 phrases with audio. Don't study — just hear what PD2 Danish sounds like.

Read the PD2 exam format: Del1 = 2–3 min monologue (assigned topic), Del2 = examiner dialogue (about you and your daily life).

Daily oral warm-up (non-negotiable): 15 min Oral-383 flashcards + 20 min Del1 practice + 15 min Del2 practice. Do this before anything else.

Complete all 383 Oral-383 phrases by the midpoint of this phase. Shadow with audio, not just reading.

Oral-3783: do 100 phrases per session, flashcard mode with audio — listen first, then say the phrase, then check.

Del1 framework (master this): Greeting → Topic intro (1 sentence) → Point 1 + example → Point 2 + personal experience → Point 3 + opinion → Wrap-up. Practise with 5 topics per session.

Del2 drill: practise 10 common examiner follow-up types. Key skill: give a 2-sentence answer, then add one elaboration. Never answer with just 'ja'.

Self-record every 3–5 days: Del1 monologue (2–3 min) + Del2 mock (5 min, self-Q&A). Listen back critically — count grammar errors, note missing vocabulary.

Grammar: one topic per week, applied in oral. Fix whichever error appears most in your recordings.

Vocabulary: learn 15–20 new words per day, applied in oral sentences immediately.

Oral maintenance (non-negotiable minimum): 30 min daily. Don't let it drop to zero.

Reading: work through PD2 past papers under 45-minute time pressure. Strategy: skim structure first → read questions → find evidence → eliminate.

Reading tip: contrast words (men, derimod, til gengæld) almost always indicate where the answer is. Underline them.

Writing — formal email: Kære [name] → purpose in first sentence → polite body → Med venlig hilsen. Practise 1 email from a past-paper prompt per session.

Writing — short description/report: intro sentence → 2–3 factual points → brief conclusion. At PD2, accuracy beats complexity. Short correct sentences outscore long incorrect ones.

Grammar consolidation: indefinite vs definite article (en/et/den/det/de) is the most common PD2 written error. Write 10 correction sentences per session.

Full mock every 2 days: oral (Del1 + Del2) + reading (45 min timed) + writing (45 min timed). This is your dress rehearsal.

Final oral recording: listen critically — does it sound like a grade 10 performance? Varied vocabulary, complex structures, natural pauses?

Fix your single most persistent grammar error. Write 10 correction sentences for it. Nothing else for grammar.

Day before exam: light review only — 5 Del1 topics you know well, 50 key phrases. No new material. Sleep 8 hours.
