    🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴 Interested in learning Norwegian with a (slightly absurd) story instead of boring dialogues? Check out my Norwegian course "The Mystery of Nils":

    "Practical Norwegian"..."not practical at all"...That line cracked me up.

    Jeg trodde at du var norsk òg. Det er veldig interessant at man kan lære norsk til et nivå at man høres ut som en innfødt. Veldig inspirerende for meg, faktisk 🙂

    Thank you for sharing, had no idea you were german originally. Fun to see the 'pharmacy' side of study as that becomes its own language. Ingenting er som innfødt fordypning. I'm glad I studied narrative originally :D

      I am advanced level in both Norwegian and Icelandic and upper advanced level in Dutch and upper intermediate level in Norse and German - I highly recommend learning Norwegian together with the other prettiest languages ever created Norse / Gothic / Icelandic / Faroese / Dutch / English / Danish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish as these languages are all equally gorgeous and way too pretty not to know, plus Norse and Gothic and Icelandic are also the most alpha languages ever, so they are super obsessive! ❤🇮🇸 🇳🇴 🇫🇴 💗

    i have discovered so many non-native speakers teaching Norwegian on the internet! But after almost a year studying, I am still not understanding spoken language very well - written is much easier for me to follow...

      Unfortunately spoken Norwegian is not easy to understand. My advice is to listen A LOT. Over time it will get better, but a lot of patience is needed.

      Same here. I’m English but now have family in Trondheim. I studiously learned Norwegian for 4 years and read it well and write too,but actually understanding native Norwegians I find really difficult unless they are newsreaders! I think only living there would make it possible for me.

    • @FrozenMermaid666
      @FrozenMermaid666 5 месяцев назад

      That’s because Germanic languages aren’t easy to understand when spoken, as they have these cool pronunciation rules and shorter words in general that are easier to be misheard when used in combination with other words, and also because natives tend to use a lot of idioms and phrases and slang etc and tend to word ideas in unusual ways that one isn’t normally taught, and many of them may be using another Norwegian-based language etc because languages such as Norwegian and Dutch and German etc have many of those unofficial languages that are based on them, which are different languages with different spelling and many of them with different words and not actual dialects, so one isn’t going to understand those if one doesn’t learn them first, though it can also be because most natives don’t speak clearly and slowly with each syllable properly enunciated and articulated, but those teaching the languages are usually easy to understand when speaking and have higher and lighter voices that are naturally clearer - it usually takes five to ten years to be able to understand the spoken languages or most of the spoken languages, so I would recommend learning over 35 thousand base words in each Germanic language and all the idioms and regional terms and slang etc automatically, by revising each word at least 30 times or more over the course of 3 years, until each word can be instantly processed and automatically remembered, and, I also highly recommend learning Norwegian together with the other prettiest languages ever created Norse / Gothic / Icelandic / Faroese / Dutch / English / Danish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish as these languages are all equally gorgeous and way too pretty not to know, plus Norse and Gothic and Icelandic are also the most alpha languages ever, so they are super obsessive! (By the way, I am advanced level in both Norwegian and Icelandic and upper advanced level in Dutch and upper intermediate level in Norse and German at the moment, and am mid intermediate level in Welsh and Swedish and three other languages, and beginner level in Faroese and Gothic and Danish and most other target languages, as I am learning more than twenty-five of my target languages at the same time!) 🇮🇸 🇳🇴 🇫🇴

    I used to be fluent in German (Austrian pronunciation), and I thought it was your second language, too. I can’t hear a hint of German accent when you speak English. . . You make an excellent point here: studying diligently. Language acquisition is like weight training; it takes time and attention. Consistency is what matters. . . My education bucket list is a PhD from Norway. I want to get one in training student teachers. I’m not sure about University of Oslo, I’ve read that Innlandet University actually trains more teachers than any other university in Norway, and then there’s Norwegian Technical University. 🧐 I finish my 3rd Masters in May 2025, so I don’t want to start any later than September 2025.
