This site has not been updated - see the links below for resources in Norwegian.
This site was originally made to fit with my classes in Norwegian (see the link under language resources below).
Creating a new site with material you can find in a book
seemed more time consuming than what benefits it adds.
I have, however, started a new site where a complete layout for A1 will be developed - Norwegian Course.
I have also added basic learning material in my Youtube videos here - Norwegian course
General information about Norwegian: In comparison to German the Norwegian language has some similar looking words but it is quite different with much easier grammar. Norwegian grammar is also even easier than English which is not known to be the most difficult. Moreover, when you are a basic learner it is usually OK to translate to your native tongue in the beginning before you get a feel for the new language. If your native language is English, this generally does not cause a lot of problems. Norwegian is therefore a not too difficult language to learn.

Do you need to know Norwegian to live in Norway?
If your English is at an intermediary level, you will get around almost perfectly in Norway. Most Norwegians know English quite well.
Naturally it depends on which Norwegian group will have contact with. If you are in groups of college students they will feel comfortable with speaking English. For most Norwegians they you will have good English, albeit with an accent, but might not feel comfortable speaking English as they generally don't have much training in doing so. classes in Norwegian |
