Beginners Norwegian Course Outline
Beginners Norwegian Course Outline
Make new friends and learn a new language with this Open Group Beginners Norwegian Course. Study in a virtual classroom from the comfort of your home (or anywhere else) alongside learners with the same starting proficiency level and enthusiasm to speak Norwegian as you. Under the professional guidance of a native teacher, learn the foundational knowledge to speak with your classmates in Norwegian. Discover the common words and grammar for everyday conversations while taking part in fun and interactive online group exercises geared towards your interests and goals. For this, you will use the book The Mystery of Nils, which aims at teaching beginners through storytelling. Throughout the course, you will focus mostly on the Bokmål dialect, but your teacher will also make reference to the Nynorskvariety and other dialects of spoken Norwegian when appropriate. If you want to delve deeper into the other varieties, contact us to arrange a one-to-one course that meets your specific needs!
