Studying school assignments.
Contexto cultural
The 'Lektiecafé' is a common feature in Danish schools where students can stay after hours to get help with their homework from teachers or volunteers. There is a strong emphasis on 'fritid' (free time). Many parents and educators argue that 'lektier' should be minimized to allow children to be children. In contrast to Denmark, American schools often have a higher volume of homework, and the phrase 'doing homework' is rarely replaced by 'reading homework'. Homework in Japan is often seen as a matter of discipline and character building, whereas in Denmark it is more about academic preparation.
Always Plural
Even if you only have one math problem to do, always say 'lektier' (plural).
Not for Work
Never tell your boss you are 'læser lektier' unless you are actually in a training course!
