Me again... {: This time, I'm interested in your experience with studying Norwegian through the Primsleur material.

I suppose it is okay to use to prepare for a short visit to Norway and you need some
survival language but you only learn in the region of 200 words as they only have one level consisting of 30 lessons. I wouldn't really recommend it, almost anything else is better and cheaper. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

It was a good starting point for me, but you need something else to follow it. It won't get you beyond A1 CEFR. Pronunciation was very good. You'll learn basic present, past and future tenses, possessives, basic genders and some prepositions. Very little vocabulary, but you'll learn how to form understandable sentences with what's taught.

Thanks for the feedback, people! My core method and resource will be the textbook "På vei", additional material will include the Primsleur stuff and Byki software for beginner Norwegian. All the things will be verified and tested through communication with a pen pal ( native and/or proficient speaker ). Having said that, anybody available for assistance? :) Also, planing to post a log about it. My goal is to learn enough so I could pass an A2 Norskprøve test. Does anybody have any practice exams? :}

På vei is excellent. I would also recommend Stein på stein after that. That should take you to a B2 level - you should have no trouble understanding broadcasts or newspapers (or any other daily reading, for that matter.) You can easily complete both På vei and Stein på stein in a year at a fairly leisurely pace. R. == Edited by hrhenry on 28 July 2011 at 4:31pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I've seen these books before when I was looking for some books on Norwegian and they didn't appear to have any English in them from what I saw. Is that right? Do they assume some knowledge of the language already? Edited by atboom on 29 July 2011 at 2:23am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

They were classroom-oriented books with audio. An available live teacher was assumed. But yes, you're correct, no English. I was able to go to På vei straight from Pimsleur, albeit with a dictionary. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That's the plan, plus I'll probably attend classes with my friends who study this book on the University of Belgrade next semester. "Stein på stein" is the next on the list. ;) 1 person has voted this message useful |
