The Norwegian Language

Dear student,


          I have compiled the following must-see links for you out of belief that they constitute the best introduction to learning the Norwegian language. My aim is to make it easy for all learners to access practical websites such as: interactive books taught at adult education centers across Norway, free on-line Norwegian dictionaries, newspapers, universities, TV and Radio, jobs websites, the Government's website, ministries, municipalities, and yellow pages!

Always remember the saying "No gains without pains!" So, you need to hit the books really hard in order to get a very good command of any language. Luckily, Norwegian is an easy language in many aspects. So, roll up your sleeves now and check out the followings useful links.

Reading Norwegian Texts

                 KLARTALE - Read news in Norwegian











     




Klar Tale is a online weekly newspaper written in easy-to-read Norwegian. It has 12 pages of news, written in simple style in large font. It should be an excellent resource for people learning Norwegian.


Reading Norwegian Texts 
     
The book
Naiv Super, by the Norwegian author Erlend Loewas, is written in simple language and short sentences, very good for learners of Norwegian.  You can read the first chapter of Naiv. Super. in Norwegian. The text is Loe's original, but the hardest words and phrases are translated on the side, so you pick up the colloquial meanings that are sometimes hard, and don't have to stop to use the dictionary.
