Language learn Norwegian

Why would you want to learn the Norwegian language?

Well for a start if your husband or wife is from Norway then you would consider learning the Norwegian language. And then again your children might want to learn their parents mother tongue, if you already come

With some countries where they learn more than one language at school, you will find that most young people speak English. 

But you will still have many opportunities to practice your Norwegian. This is a problem you will find in most of Europe as they learn many languages at school. People like us in the English speaking world don’t need to learn languages as nearly every country tries to teach their children English. A rather limiting situation for people with English as a first language, because as there is no serious need to learn another language, we don’t. 

To learn languages like Norwegian you should start learning the language before going there, as this will give you a head start. 

And also this way you should be able to pick up more of the language when you are there. Even though Norwegian is not one of the major spoken languages there are still courses available that will teach you the language. 

When you are learning any language you must realize it takes time and effort so the more time you put in the more you will learn. Even if it is just listening to a tape or mp3 and reading aloud in Norwegian to try and get your mind and your mouth working together in the new language. Any adult who has learnt a second language will tell you it takes time so you have to put in the time to get the results.
