I think they'll be really excited to hear you're learning Norwegian, that's the usual reaction when we hear of someone learning our language. For me at least I think of Norwegian as a lovely language, but unforunately rather useless to learn for people who aren't either moving to Norway or have a special interest in the country/language - so I'm always very happy to hear that people try to learn my dear little language. ^^
I'll be glad to help out if you want me to read through any of your Norwegian texts or something, just post it here or send it to me by PM. ;) Btw, would you happen to know where in Norway you're going later? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks, that would be really helpful :). As for where I'm going, they don't tell you beforehand, but I want to find a way to make sure that I go to a bokmaal area, so that I can attend actual norwegian classes like everyone else. I especially want to go to oslo or another city, like tromso, since I already live in a town with practically no people ;p

Most Norwegian cities are practically no people compared to US cities, our capital has about 500,000 citizens. ;p
They will most likely teach bokmål at the school you attend even if it is in a nynorsk area; Norwegian students are required to learn the other as well (and we tend to hate that ;p ). You won't be able to spend as much time on it as the main written language in your area though, so you might want to call them and ask just in case. ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Heureux de voir que tu vas à Québec, c'est ma vile natale et j'adore cette place, même si c'est un peu petit :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Norwegian cities are somewhat small for cities, but that's what I love about them. I don't really like big cities, I think they're ugly ;P. Another concern of mine is going to an area with a really weird dialect.
Thanks for the corrections, Pitwo! It definitely helped me to remember some of the more basic parts of the grammar I've forgotten. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There are "weird" (different from Oslo-dialect, which is phonoetically bokmålish) dialects almost everywhere except from in Oslo, but they will still write bokmål at least. Unless you're in a nynorsk area of course.
Da lærer du jo ihvertfall å skrive bokmål. :) Alle norske dialekter forstår hverandre enkelt, så det bør ikke være noe problem for deg om du lærer en annen dialekt. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This will be full of mistakes, I'm sure, because I'm talking about the past, and I haven't started learning about the past tense yet - I just have some basic knowledge of it. Oh well, I'll give it a try ;P.
Jeg har vært på driver's ed. Det var et tre-uke kurs som var KJEDELIG! Jeg liker å kjøre, men jeg er en dårlig kjører ;P. Jeg har kjørte fra en venns hus til hos meg hver dag, som tar tretti minutter hver dag. Jeg må ha ti timer av kjører for å få min learner's permit. Jeg tror jeg har fire eller fem timer nå. Når jeg er seksten jeg kan få min driver's license. Fordi av driver's ed jeg bare studerte litt norsk, fransk, afrikaans, og latin. Jeg er glad det er over nå, og jeg er også glad jeg skal ha min learner's permit snart! I don't know if there are equivelants of driver's ed/learner's permit/etc in Norwegian, so I just used the English words. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When you're listing something, such as "norsk, fransk, afrikaans og latin", you skip the last comma and replace it with "og". Driver's ed, as I explained in my paranthesises (is that the right word? lol) could be explained in two different ways. We have quite different ways of getting our driver's license in Norway. From what I know, American driver's licenses are dirt cheap, takes few hours and can be acquired at age 16. In Norway you must be 18, there's a few theorietical courses and a lot of driving lessons with specialized lessons in cities, slippery surfaces, passing cars, driving far and so on, with a theorietical (more than 50% fails) and a practical driving test. It also costs a ridiculous amount of money (I paid the equivalent of 4600 USD for mine). I would use "kjøreopplæring"/"kjøreskole" for theorietical lessons or anything looking like a school, and "kjøreopplæring"/"kjøretime" for practical lessons. When you're 16, you can take a theoretical course which allows you to practice driving with parents etc, I assume this would be the Norwegian equivalent of what you call "learner's permit". We call that "grunnkurs" - basic course. Haha, this turned into a little driver's ed in Norway-course. ;p Edited by mrhenrik on 23 July 2009 at 10:45pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
