Do you want to learn Norwegian?

You can start learning Norwegian today! We've compiled a list of resources that will help you on your way.
Attaining cultural knowledge about a new country usually requires getting to know some of the local lingo. Many
Norwegians are proud of their language, and in fact, there isnt just one Norwegian comes in two forms; Bokml
and Nynorsk, and in addition there are a total of six recognized minority languages in Norway North Sami, Lule
Sami, South Sami, Kven, Romani and Romanes. However, this should not put you off learning Norwegian, knowing
Bokml will get you very far indeed, as it is recognized by the majority of people.
Naturally, the best way of learning a new language is to submerge yourself in it completely, meaning spending time in
Norway, but there are many ways to learn Norwegian on the sly, part-time and online. Here are a list of resources to
get you started, good luck lykke til!
