Hey,
I've been considering starting this log for a while and I think that now it's high time to begin. I wanted to take part in 6 weeks challenge but unfortunately I couldn't register with Norwegian, I'm not sure why. But it's another reason for starting this log. My goal is to reach a decent level of the language in question by June/July 2013 (probably B2 or higher)due to the fact that I'm planning to take an exam. I started learning Norwegian 26 days ago and I managed to study every day =)Sometimes it's hard to be motivated but I hope that this log will come in handy so that I'll keep track of my progress. I also think that it'll be another source of motivation. I also want to share my experience with other people who are currently learning Norwegian or any other language. So here we go :P What I did today: Revision of all units that I've covered so far. Listening to Norwegian songs. Here is a link to one of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFTl1LGJEp0 I picked this one for a reason; the lyrics are quite easy to follow so after 3-4 weeks of studying I was able to understand it. I recommend it to people who have already started learning Norwegian. regards! :) Edited by Marya on 14 January 2013 at 2:26pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Hello to a fellow enthusiast of Norsk :)
What materials do you use? I currently try to plough through 'Vil du lære norsk' by Stanisław Łęcki which is about the only worthwhile Polish-based coursebook I've managed to find. I also use Memrise for vocabulary practice and watch Norwegian films - I understand a tiny bit of dialogues but somehow I just like the sound and 'flow' of this language. I'll follow your log with great interest. Powodzenia! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hei!:)
I mainly use eskk kurs norweskiego :) I found it on the internet and it's pretty good. It's a self-study textbook so everything is explained, all grammar issues and so one..BTW, it's in Polish. I can send you links if you want. I've heard of "Vil du laere norsk" but I haven't had a chance to have a look at it yet. I also have a book entitled "Norsk for utlendinger" but I don't focus on this one so much because the whole book is in Norwegian and currently my level is not that high. I mean I can manage with first chapters but it takes me too much time to do the translations. How long have you been learning Norwegian?:) I've never heard of Memrise, what's that?:) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Memrise is one of a countless number of flashcard programs used to help you memorise
stuff. They're quite handy, in fact! Og det er alltid morsomt å se at det finnes folk der ute som vil lære norsk! Lykke til videre! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Well, I've been dabbling with Norwegian for far to long and this needs to change in the near future. I have to devise a routine for this language and listen a lot cause that is the trickiest part for me. I think that the fact that my German is pretty decent helps me understand more than I deserve to, given my lack of systematic dedication.
Memriseis a tool for memorising vocabulary, Anki-like website where people place word lists for many languages, it's engaging. It uses the concept that our memory is like a garden where we plant new flowers/words and water them by revising, try it :) I currently use it for Spanish and wanted to use it for Welsh but since the decks rarely have Welsh audio I resigned for the time beeing. 'Vil du laere norsk' is packed with vocabulary with IPA transcriptions that always a great help for me. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

In that case I'll definitely check out Memrise. Maybe it'll be helpful in my case because
sometimes I feel like getting lost with vocabulary. Stifa, tusen takk. Jeg synes norsk er et interessant språk. Jeg elsker å høre på norsk musikk og jeg håper jeg vil vite lyrics en dag :P 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ah, ok so Memrise is similar to Anki. I rarely use this device because I see it as a
little bit time consuming but I'm not saying is not useful. Although I don't think it'll work for me. So Gosiak wish you good luck with your Norwegian:) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hi again.
I didn't update my log for few days but anyways I was studying Norwegian. I covered 2 chapters so now I'm about to start the 12th one (my textbook consists of 40 chapters). I try to review the covered material so that it somehow stays in my mind. Another thing that I do is practicing speaking. I read dialogues aloud (sometimes many times until I think my pronunciation is more or less ok). Actually it's the 29th day of my studies and after that time I can say that my motivation is still high and I see a progress. I've been studying everyday so far, sometimes for 3-4 hours a day, and I'm quite satisfied with it. I'm thinking of starting conversations with native speakers but I'm not sure if it's not too soon because it happens that I lack words :P It's really hard to come up with some words but when I see them on paper I know the meaning, the most difficult part is to recollect vocabulary in the right moment. But maybe it'll come with time. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
