✅ Why should you learn Norwegian?

Norwegian (norsk) is a North Germanic language spoken mainly in Norway, where it is the official language. Along with Swedish and Danish, Norwegian forms a dialect continuum of more or less mutually intelligible local and regional varieties, and some Norwegian and Swedish dialects in particular are very close. These Scandinavian languages, together with Faroese and Icelandic as well as some extinct languages, constitute the North Germanic languages.

There are two official forms of written Norwegian, Bokmål and Nynorsk, each with its own variants. Native speakers‎- ‎5.2 million.

✅ How long does it take to master Norwegian?

In order to learn the communication phrases used by tourists in daily situations a couple days in the language course will suffice. However, if you want to master written and spoken Norwegian more properly, you should allow one to three years. In order to achieve an academic level, you will need at least five to seven years.

With time and motivation you can master Norwegian faster. The more time you dedicate to learning the language, the faster you will achieve the result. Daily communication in Norwegian will be a great advantage. And do not forget the media (radio and television), press, cultural events, music, and films in Norwegian.

 

✅ Does your mother-tongue affect your mastery of Norwegian?

If you speak Swedish or Danish or one of these languages is your mother-tongue, you will learn Norwegian easier and faster. People proficient in Germanic languages will see similarities with the Norwegian grammar system and words loaned from these languages.

Some important tips in order to master Norwegian faster:

• Learn each new word in the context it is used in.
• Repeat what you have learned often because repetition is the mother of learning;
• Use both real and virtual Norwegian language domain;
• Use the media (TV, radio, music, literature, social media platforms) in Norwegian;
• Read fiction in Norwegian, start with easy Norwegian;
• Let yourself make mistakes, use the language, jump in the Norwegian language river for a swim! You can do it!
