Learning Norwegian

[karpsmom]

I was curious how good this site is for learning Norwegian. http://www.sofn.com/norwegianculture/languagelessons/index.html

I would really like to learn the language. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This will be awesome to learn, I would like to record a song in Norwegian in my black/thrash metal band.

i'm curious what the lyrics are about on Borknagar's first album. also Solefald wrote some songs in Norwegian.

That site looks quite good, especially since it includes pronounciation. I'd recommend it.

 

[Agah]

If I were you I would also listen to Norwegian tv/radio shows to hear how we pronounce all the words.

A friend of mine on the Sigh message board translated them for me, he's Norwegian! I'm in a bit of a hurry right now to leave my house so I'll just post a link to the thread right now! http://sigh.gospel-virus.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=66

I didn't get my shirt yet, I'm having credit card troubles, those three little numbers on the back of the card that they need (CVC number or something), faded away on my card, so I don't know what the numbers are! I'm gonna use a friends card.

Well, remember that there are many variants of Norwegian. We actually have to languages (which aren't that different really) and lots of weird dialects. The first thing you should do is to decide if you want to learn Nynorsk or Bokmål.

Norwegian.. Interesting... At least a basic is important to learn.
Anyone already have interest in learning portuguese? hahaha. Aren't so brutal or mythologic, but is sooo hard...

 

[rammpeth]

i always thoguht it was similar to french, italian and spanish which are all fairly easy to learn (well my mother tongue is spanish but i found french easy to learn)

 

[Borealis-]

hehe.. nei vel.

Norwegian is very different from other European languages because of the article system. Example: 'Et bord' (a table) is bent to 'bordet' (the table). 'En bil' (a car) is bent to 'bilen' (the car). Instead of changing the words, the articles are added to the word. That's what most immigrants have trouble with, I think.

Eg heitar Daniel Josephy.

Learning norwegian isn't difficult at all. It's the easiest language I've learnt so far. (ok, I have a teacher from Bergen )
