Imagine reading “Around the World in Eighty Days” in Danish – and understanding every page

“Around the World in Eighty Days” (in Danish: “Jorden rundt i 80 dage”, orig. Around the World in Eighty Day) by Jules Verne – is a complete, engaging story adapted specifically for the B1 (intermediate) level. You don't need to know every word. You understand 95% of the text immediately, and every new word is explained in the margin. You simply read – and learn naturally.

What is this book about?

  • Phileas Fogg, a precise English gentleman, wagers his fortune that he can circumnavigate the world in eighty days.
  • His meticulously planned global dash is fraught with peril, unexpected delays, and the relentless pursuit of Detective Fix.
  • Amidst daring escapes and cultural encounters, Fogg and his valet Passepartout rescue the Indian princess Aouda.

Why does it work better than apps and textbooks?

Our books are based on the Pentecost Method – the only approach 100% grounded in scientific research on language learning. The result? You learn faster, remember more, and actually enjoy the learning process.

  • Read without interruption: Translations of the most difficult words are found in the margin of each page – you don't have to break away from the story to look them up in a dictionary.
  • Consolidate what you've read: After each chapter, there are exercises (crosswords, gap-fills, anagrams) tailored to the B1 level – new words stick in your mind.
  • Learn anywhere: A mobile app with games allows you to review vocabulary on your commute, in line, or whenever you have a moment.
  • Build lasting vocabulary: Flashcards at the end of the book allow you to systematically review the most important words – so you don't forget what you've learned.

Matched to your exact level

The vocabulary in this book has been selected based on an analysis of 2 billion words from authentic texts, precisely matched to the B1 level. You learn exactly the words that are most useful in everyday life.

Inga Clay

Translator and editor

Inga Clay prepares English-facing materials for Danish fiction in the graded-reader line. Danish often drops subjects; she makes sure the English scaffolding still feels natural while the original stays visible on the facing page or in the margin notes. She enjoys working on small-town settings where everyday vocabulary carries most of the plot.
