“Hei!” to all reading this post. As you may have guessed, it is “Hi” in Norwegian. Simple, isn’t it?
As you know Norwegian is the language spoken by the people of Norway. It’s called “norsk” in Norwegian. It’s a Scandinavian language along with Swedish and Danish. All the three languages have common origins and it is quite possible to understand the others when one is known.
There are two forms of Norwegian – Bokmål and Nynorsk. Out of these, Bokmål is the language we are going to learn because it is the most common language used in Norway.
English has been my mother tongue and I can tell you from personal experience that learning Norwegian will be easier for you if you know the English language. Just look at a few Norwegian words below:
| Norwegian | English |
| bok | book |
| hus | house |
| mann | man |
As you can see there are quite many words that are similar to those in English. So if you know English, you are better off while learning Norwegian.
So let’s begin to learn Norwegian.
To learn Norwegian fast from a Norwegian teacher, check out Norwegian Class 101.
You can get a Norwegian Beginner's Course for free at Mystery of Nils.
Hello Dear Friend,
I am very interested in learning Norsk. I am a prospective student at Trondheim . I am eagerly waiting to get other lessons from you.
I’d like to appreciate your attempts to teach us this language.
Best regards.
Thanks a lot, Mir.
You will be getting lots of lessons by email.
Morning, are you aware of any movies that can help listen to the spoken language?
Hi,

HELLO KEVIN!! I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A JOB AT OIL & GAS FIELDS IN NORWAY. I HAVE A UNIVERSITY DEGREE IN PETROLEUM AND GAS ENGINEER. THATS WHY I AM INTERESTING ON SPECIALIZED NORWEGIAN COURSES FOR THAT SPECIFICATION. ARE YOU UNDERTAKE SAMETHING LIKE THAT?

Hi Voreadis,
I am sorry. I cannot help you with getting a job in Norway. I just teach the Norwegian language.
However since you are an engineer in petroleum and gas, you will find many jobs available in Norway. However it would be good if you can visit Norway and apply for the jobs there. I don’t know from which country you are but if you are from the EU then it becomes even easier to find a job in Norway.
Check out http://www.finn.no/jobb/. You might find some jobs there.
It’s much more difficult for people like me who live far away to get a job in Norway.
KEVIN THANKS ANYWAY!! I AM FROM GREECE BY THE WAY AND I AM PLANNING TO DO EXACTLY AS ??U SUGGESED.
I HAVE STARTED ALREADY TO LEARN NORWEGIAN BY MY SELF AND NTNU- YOUTUBE-MOVIES. I FIND MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN NORSK AND TYSK IN THE PRENOUNTIATION.
HA DE BRA KEVIN!!

Hei Kevin, Jeg er sykepleier fra Philipinene :), I’m going to work in Norway next year and I already started my Norwegian language class (Bokmål). I want to learn norsk faster and to reach the level I need to be qualified in work, I hope you could give me some medical terms in norsk. We are going to have medical class in norsk in coming months but I wanted to familiarize myself with those words as early as I can so I’ll be waiting for your emails. Tusen takk!
