Norwegian for Beginners Introduction Welcome to the Norwegian Course for Beginners. In five lessons we'll try to teach you the basics of the Norwegian language. Norwegian is spoken by over 4 million people in Norway. This course will not cover Norwegian pronunciation. Lesson 1: To Be To Be The verb to be in Norwegian is easy, just like any other verb in Norwegian: it has only one single form for all persons, either plural or singular! As for the verb "to be", its name in Norwegian is å være, and its present tense form is er (å is the infinitive marker for the Norwegian verb, just like the English to is. That is your very first Norwegian sentence, where you introduce yourself as Morten. Although the sentence consists of only three words, we are going to carefully examine each word. Now we've seen how to introduce yourself using jeg er, but we can also introduce other people. That's a lot of new words! Det is usually employed for things, meaning it.

Norwegian Alphabet and Pronunciation Norwegian Alphabet Learning the Norwegian alphabet is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. Without it, you will not be able to say words properly even if you know how to write those words. The better you pronounce a letter in a word, the more understood you will be in speaking the Norwegian language. Below is a table showing the Norwegian alphabet and how it is pronounced in English, and finally examples of how those letters would sound if you place them in a word. Norwegian Pronunciation You saw how a letter is written and might be pronounced, but there is nothing better than hearing the sound of the letters in a video or audio. The alphabet and its pronunciation have a very important role in Norwegian, therefore they need very special attention.

Norwegian language, alphabet and pronunciation Norwegian is a North Germanic language with around 5 million speakers in mainly in Norway. There are also some speakers of Norwegian in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, the UK, Spain, Canada and the USA. Early Norwegian literature, mainly poetry and historical prose, was written in West Norse and flourished between the 9th and the 14th centuries. After that Norway came under Swedish and then Danish rule. Norwegian continued to be spoken but Danish was used for officials purposes, as a literary language and in higher education. After Norway separated from Denmark in 1814, Danish continued to be used in schools until the 1830s, when a movement to create a new national language emerged. Landsmål was renamed Nynorsk (New Norwegian) in 1929 and Riksmål is now officially known as Bokmål (book language). Today schools can choose to teach either Nynorsk or Bokmål and civil servants are expected to be able to use both forms.

Study in Norway/Tuition/Scholarships/ Completing a university degree is often considered to be an expensive endeavour and tuition fees are usually making up the bulk part of the cost. Norwegian universities and state university colleges as a rule do not charge tuition fees for international students. However, you should take into consideration that living expenses in Norway are higher than in many other countries. "Nothing is for free" is a saying that is true in many cases. But in Norway it is possible to get quality education without having to pay tuition fees. I want to study in Norway but need financial support. We recommend that you first contact the International Office at your home university to see if institutional agreements with a Norwegian institution exist.

Bergen Bergen (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈbærɡən] ( listen)) is a city and municipality in Hordaland on the west coast of Norway. As of 14 April 2014, the municipality had a population of 272,400 and the Greater Bergen Region had a population of 400,200, making Bergen the second-largest city in Norway. The municipality covers an area of 465 square kilometres (180 sq mi) and is located on the peninsula of Bergenshalvøyen. The city centre and northern neighbourhoods are located on Byfjorden and the city is surrounded by mountains. For this reason, Bergen is known as the city of seven mountains. Trading in Bergen may have started as early as the 1020s, but the city was not incorporated until approximately 1070. The city is an international centre for aquaculture, shipping, offshore petroleum industry and subsea technology, and a national centre for higher education, tourism and finance.

Law of Jante The Law of Jante (Danish: Janteloven (Danish pronunciation: [ˈja̝nd̥əˌlo̞ʋˀən]); Norwegian: Jantelova or Janteloven (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈjantɛˌlɔ̹ːvɛn])); Swedish: Jantelagen (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈjantɛˌlɑːɡɛn])) is the idea that there is a pattern of group behaviour towards individuals within Scandinavian communities that negatively portrays and criticises individual success and achievement as unworthy and inappropriate. The Jante Law as a concept was created by the Dano-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose.[1] In his novel A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks (En flyktning krysser sitt spor, 1933, English translation published in the USA in 1936) identified the Law of Jante as ten rules. Sandemose's novel portrays the small Danish town Jante (modelled upon his native town Nykøbing Mors as it was at the beginning of the 20th century, but typical of all small towns and communities), where nobody is anonymous.[2] Definition[edit] The ten rules state: The Law today[edit] See also[edit]

More strange and weird things about Norway Since January, when I posted about a bunch of strange and weird things about Norway, I’ve discovered more stuff like this: (1) To begin with, social life. It is very common and socially approved that families are breaking apart, people divorce and remarry. (2) Studies. (3) Attitude towards foreigners. (4) Politeness and manners. (5) Sports. (6) Dress code. (7) Savoir vivre. (8) Norwegian sarcasm. (9) Special social skills. Finally, I must say that both me and my country have already changed with respect to my exchange programme. Одлазак у Норвешку – покушај објективног приказа | Српско друштво Рас Пре читања текста, скренуо бих пажњу да је ово један од текстова који не говоре 100% афирмативно о доласку и животу у Норвешкој. И да сам имао ово предзнање, вероватно бих се поново одлучио да пробам тај живот у иностранству, али свакако бих му другачије приступио и неке ствари би ми биле јасније. Овај текст нема за циљ да иког одврати од одласка у иностранство, већ је покушај објективог приказа Норвешке и живота у њој из очију једног Србина. Идеја о доласку Прво заборавите све што сте прочитали у домаћим (балканским) таблоидима. Тек када се и други супружник запосли (статистички гледано за то је обично потребно од 1-2 године), можете да се мало опустите и да размишљате о штедњи за учешће за кредит и куповину стана у Норвешкој, путовању код рођака у Канаду и слично. Па да сумирам овај свеобухватни увод. Повод за одлазак Повода за одлазак наших људи из земље има разних. Списак разлога је, наравно, неисцрпан, али једно је заједничко за све.
