    I have been wondering how my Norwegian great-grandparents sounded when they spoke English after immigrating to the US over 100 years ago. Your video has certainly given me some clues. Thank you for making this video.

    Hilarious! "They own a lot of reindeer they sound very relaxed, and the reason they sound so very relaxed, is because all the winter is so very long, so they just keep on waiting for the summer to arrive, and then finally, when the summer arrives, they just start then to for the winter to come back again so they can drive their snow scooter". ha ha ha!

    This video was interesting. I'm from Northern Minnesota USA. We are mostly Norwegian Swedish, Finish and German. The accents sound most like the Oslo accent where I live. There are a lot of different accents in Minnesota, especially in the older Generation. My great Grandmas first language was Norwegian. My great great grandparents on the other side of the family immigrated from Seim Norway to South Dakota. That side of the family sounds most like the Bergen impression. It's funny how long the accents stick around.

    My dad's parents came from Norway. Grandma svanee came from alesund and Grandpa angel came from Bergen I think. He was 20 years older than her born in 1897 came to Canada 1906 by himself. Joined Canadian army sappers 1914 and was at messines and worked on the mine. Mustered out 1919. Worked for CP rail the rest of his life and was in 3 train wrecks. Died in 1964 right after my older brother was born. Grandma went in 1983. She had 7 siblings so we have lots of family still there. Great video thanks!

He is shy to talk on the telephone and I have yet to hear him speak on the telephone! So I really wonder now which accent he was raised with. Either way I'll learn to love the way he speaks. Love conquers all. Thx for video.
