Surfing Fjords - Norwegian log for TAC 2013
Welcome to my log for TAC 2013, in which I endeavor to annihilate Norwegian rather than letting it annihilate me. Right now I am part of the Scandinavian #2 team. Hopefully we get a more creative name soon! The log name comes from the fact that I live in one of California's best surfing spots. Background I am a "zero beginner" in Norwegian. Previous knowledge of French (research ability from college) and Latin. I work at a research lab and spend a lot of time hiking, doing Crossfit and reading history. Goals --Process: end year with an average of >15 hours of study/week (or 750 hours total) --Realistic: achieve A2+/B1 proficiency by end of year --Stretch: achieve B2 proficiency & confidence to list language on resume --Long-term: eventually be able to read Jo Nesbø (TAC 2014 goal?) Strategy --Textbooks: I learn best from textbooks/grammars. Planning to use FSI, TYS and På Vei to start, followed by Stein på Stein --Native materials: planning to jump into Naiv. Super as soon as possible (inspired by the Norsk Experiment). Looking for Norwegian news sites that are "easy" but "serious" (no tabloids) --Anki: vocabulary building is usually tough for me, so will be logging Anki hours separately 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Maybe you can find some news sites on this part of the forum: http://how-to-learn-any-
language.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=32 I'm pretty sure you'll pick up Norwegian as long as you stay motivated, and with 15> hours a week it shouldn't be a problem. Looking forward to follow your progress, good luck! (and maybe even more important: have fun!) Edited by Kez on 03 January 2013 at 12:07pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |
