Wow, yeah I thought it might be in that range, considering you have to think about how best someone will assimilate something you do by second nature. I'll continue to be as patient as I can, as difficult as it is, haha! :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ok, here they are! Now i did my part, so it's time to relax with my french press made cup of blue java coffee, and
the freshly downloaded episode of family guy and desperate housewives, no I'm not gay, i just enjoy the series! lol http://rapidshare.com/files/149331675/Norwegian_05.mp3.html http://rapidshare.com/files/149333551/Norwegian_06.mp3.html Here is a funny clip from a stand-up comedian from Bergen, it will give you a little taste of the language since there isn't a lot of exposure to Norwegian in the English society. He talks about that it is strange (merkelig) that så many (mange) of his friends (venner) are afraid (redd) of sharks (hai) when ostrige, i think thats the word in english, those big birds with long legs who cant fly, when ostriges (struts) kill more people than sharks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az-VbvLxKUY Pronunciation Merkelig - Merkli Mange - mange Venner - vennar redd - redd hai - hai struts - struts">Track 5">Track 6 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm definitely gonna check these out as I'm actively learning Norwegian right now and its hard to get enough to listen to at a less advanced level.
Although, if you are from Bergen and I start learning your accent, I think my fiancee will kill me. ;) She's from just outside Oslo and when I was asking her about dialects, she said that they were all interesting and many were beautiful...except Bergen. She couldn't stand the Bergen dialect. Even if I don't learn that dialect, though, it is still very useful to hear different dialects and get accustomed to processing the various forms of "Norwegian." 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Haha! Bergen dialect is a macho dialect. Everybody speaks at the top of their voice with the eastern dialect and it
sounds... well... feminine! Not that theres anything wrong with being femeblablabla.... The main difference between the dialects is that in the oslo dialect, rs makes a sh sound, and the tone of voice swings much more, like swedish. So i would dare say that it is easier to understand the Bergen dialect. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'll definitely give your course a shot. Right now the only thing I have is "Teach Yourself Norwegian" (pretty good actually, but limited on the audio component) and asking her "how do you say this?"
If the Bergen accent is more towards the back of the throat than front, I might stand a better chance as my native language is American English. I find it very, very difficult to say all the vowels in the front of my throat. In the Bergen dialect, does "sl" make a "sh" sound as well? In Oslo, it seems that western Oslo has more of a true "sl" sound while eastern Oslo has a "sh" (examples are "Oslo", "Bislett", and "slottet"). 1 person has voted this message useful |
