This novel from 1905 follows a young girl named Helga and her interactions with her teacher. The language reflects the early twentieth century, featuring older spellings and sentence structures that can be challenging for modern learners. The vocabulary is descriptive, focusing on classroom dynamics and social expectations of the time. Because the dialogue is sharp and the narrative style is somewhat formal, this book is best suited for intermediate learners who want to explore historical Danish prose and nuanced character interactions.

Questions about this book
What level of Danish do I need for this book?
The estimate is B2, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 4 h 10 min at a native pace, spread over 21 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
