A Conversation At Your Norwegian Class

The best way to learn Norwegian is to attend a Norwegian class. You get to learn from your teacher and you meet other students who are learning the language as well. And there is no better way to learn Norwegian than to listen, speak, read and write.

We have learnt Some Norwegian Nouns You Will Find in The Classroom and also Some Norwegian Phrases You Can Use At School.

Let’s look at a conversation that usually takes place at a Norwegian class.
