All Western dialects are easy to understand if you study Nynorsk ;)
As for posh bergensk: it's called penbergensk, and it's used only by some girls and woman in the suburb of Fana (that's why they call it: Fana-bergensk). In the Bergen city proper, no one speaks penbergensk anymore. Furthermore, only girls and woman speak penbergensk/Fana-bergensk I've never heard a man speaking it. :)

The closest one can get to male-speaking penbergensk are audiobooks of Gunnar Staalesen's work, read by actors with a Bergen accent. (This is Bokmaal read by Bergen-born actors).

I know two fellows who do, so there are definitely guys who speak it.

Norwegian linguists now use Fana-bergensk instead of penbergensk, since outside Fana suburb, the posh variety of Bergensk is rare (just like posh-oslosk, if may call it, is rare outside Baerum and parts of West Oslo)).

Kez, thanks a lot:) I'm not going to write Bergentest but I'll take an exam at my university in order to study Scandinavian studies there. It's going to be an oral exam and the student is supposed to talk about his future thesis. As as matter of fact, conversational skills are very important for me so after dealing with grammar point etc. I want to focus most on speaking. That's why I'll have to find a native speaker with whom I'll be practicing conversations :)However, it's quite difficult since there aren't many Norwegian speakers in my area.
Camundonguinho, tusen takk for information about Bergentest and dialects!I wasn't aware of the fact that there is something like penbergensk. I'm curious if all dialects are understandable for Norwegians?
Mae, how can I rename my log? I'm not sure how to do it ;P

You can change the name and tweak some other thread-level settings when you edit the first post.

I'm not Norwegian but I say yes. Unless the speaker deliberately uses muddy pronunciation and a very local vocabulary, s/he should be understood more or less - by all Scandinavians. Norway may have a million dialects/regional accents, but that's nothing unique...

That is not how these fellows spoke either - they were even less Western-sound.

During January I didn't study Norwegian that much but I managed to keep my current level. I started learning
more in February and since that time it's going quite ok:) I wrote two essays, the first one explaining why I
decided to learn Norwegian and the second one about my city. I found this method of creating your own
content very good since I have to come up with my own sentences and use the vocabulary that I acquired.
I'm going to stick to this method and I'll write another essay soon. After writing samples in Norwegian, I try to
learn and present it orally. Since my biggest problem is speaking, I hope that this method is going to help.
Besides I'm using various textbooks, currentlyStein på Stein.
Here is challenge nr 4:
Challenge 4- description of your city
Beskrivelse av Gdynia
Jeg bor i Gdynia som ligger i Nord Polen. Gdynia er en ganske stor by, det er faktisk en av de største byene i
Polen sammen med Sopot og Gdańsk som ligger i nærmeste min byen. Derfor er Gdynia et fantastisk sted
for å slappe av eller beyundre. Dessuten, Gdynia er de ungste polske byer. Her ligger en havn - døra til Polen
og Gdynias symbol. I Gdynia er det mange butikker og kjøpesenter, for eksempel Klif som er veldig kjent
mellom menneskene fra min byen. Det er veldig vikte å se Świętojańska gaten fordi denne er hovedgaten i
Gdynia. Det er klart at dette sted er sentrum av Gdynia.
