About Let's Dansk!
Dr. Melissa Lucas has taught Danish to community members in Seattle for 12 years at the Scandinavian Language Institute, and taught Danish to students at the University of Washington for 5 years. She noticed that the inquiries received from those venues tend to fall into 3 broad categories:
Classes

family letters and documents?
academic resources/historical records?
