Hello everybody.

Just starting my first TAC log (yes, I usually just lurk around here, time to do something useful now lol).
So, where should I begin?

Well, I plan on being able to speak better in Norwegian. I guess I'm in a dark place between A1/A2 levels. I can read a bit on klartale, but I still have to check many words on the web. A confortable B1 would be already quite good for me...

I know it's already March buuut I feel like doing the January monthly challenge, so here it goes:

Hei, jeg heter Victor, jeg er en tjuefire år gamle studenter fra Brasil. Jeg vil gjerne å snakke Norsk fordi jeg ønsker å bo på Norge. Jeg har reiste på Norge i 2012, og jeg har elsket både byene jeg har besøket: Oslo og Trondheim.. (men landsbyga var også fantastik).
Kanske i neste år vil jeg studerer på Trondheim...

So, just to refresh I'll start studying my A1/A2 book, "Norsk på 123".
I'll try to update it daily, let's see how it goes!

Hej victoraero!

Welcome to the TAC and to team Asgard. I hope the next 9 and a half months will turn out to be extremely productive for your Norwegian.

As with another late comer to the team, DavidStyles, who joined us earlier this month, I will consider your January challenge valid as long as in the next few days you post it in the team thread and add a translation so that it’s just like the ones of every other team members.

Good luck with your studies in 2014!

Velkommen victoraero. As the "godfather" of the Asgard team, I hope you don't mind me making some corrections? I've put the corrected parts in bold:

Hei, jeg heter Victor, jeg er en tjuefire år gammel student fra Brasil. Jeg vil gjerne snakke norsk fordi jeg ønsker å bo i Norge. Jeg reiste til Norge i 2012, og jeg elsket begge byene jeg besøkte: Oslo og Trondheim.. (men landsbygda var også fantastisk).
Kanskje neste år vil jeg studere i Trondheim...

Keep up the good work!

Velkommen til Asgard, Victor!

Jeg får hope du kan brukke 2014 for å forbedre norsken din. Norsken min er ikke så bra,
men det finnes andre medlemmer og, naturligvis, godfaren som kan hjelpe med språk. Jeg
kan hjelpe med å velge bøker og tekster som kan brukes. Jeg har aldri vært i Norge meng
jeg ville gjerne reise dit. Jeg har lært meg norsk siden august 2012 og jeg leser og
hører til norske bøker og serier hver dag. Du kan få lese litt på dagboken min hvis du
vil.

Lykke til!

Emme,
Thanks! I hope 2014 will be productive of all of us.
Sure, I'll post it in the team thread :)

Ogrim,
Tusen takk! Corrections are always welcome!
After I reviewed some chapters in these last 2 days, I can see some of these mistakes are quite obvious now, but something I've always had problems with are prepositions. Any tips on how to study/improve it? Particularly about i and på .
I recall reading some rule, but it made no sense at all. (at least for me)

Expugnator,
I hope I can reach your Norwegian level! I was able to understand it but I couldn't get every word at first.
Sure, if you know any easy books let me know! I read news sometimes, but it gets a bit boring :P

Updating my last two days:
I reviewed 6 chapters of my introductory book. I realized I had forgotten much of it already, more than I thought. I was going to keep reviewing today but it seems I forgot my book at home, so I'll have to read some news on klartale. I guess I'll write something about what I read today, just to exercise grammar and try to fix vocabulary.

Jeg lest en artikkel om selvangivelsen. Det er ikke mye morsomt å lese men jeg tror det er viktig å lese forskjellige tekster. Teksten var ikke vanskelig og hadde ikke mye nyordene, men jeg har en tvil.
Teksten sier "Skattedirektoratet vil ikke si akkurat når selvangivelsen er klar i natt". Er det "klar i natt" en uttrykke?
Mens jeg skrive det, jeg har hatt å søk i ordboka (google translate, desverre)...

The use of the prepositions i and på is not very straightforward, and even Norwegians can sometimes disagree what is the correct preposition in certain cases. There are a few basic guidelines though:

Always use i when you talk about:
- being in a country (i Norge, i Brasil, i England)
- being in a city or town (i Oslo, i Bergen)
- being inside a building or a "closed" area (i teateret, i banken, i parken)

There are many exceptions to the last one though so that is where you just have to learn when to use på instead of i. Some examples:

in a room: på kjøkkenet, på badet etc.
on an island: på Shetland, på Galapagos
at work, at school etc: på jobben, på skolen, på universitetet
at a show, a concert etc: på teater, på kino, på konsert, på restaurant

You will see that ofen, but not always, på conincides with the use of "at" and "on" in English, while i coincides with English "in". So if you are unsure in Norwegian but knows what preposition to use in English, you can at least make a guess based on this. However, in the end you just need to get "the feel" for what is right.

Let me add, it is great to see people in Brazil like you and Expugnator taking such an interest in our "little" language!

@victoraero, I enjoyed reading the books from Jostein Gaarder, the author of Sofies
Verden/O Mundo de Sofia, because I could get hold of translations in Portuguese. I've
also read one book with short stories about Christmas, called "Framtidslandet". Now I'm
reading a book from Lars Saabye Christensen.

When it comes to learning materials, I've used most that are around: English textbooks
such as Hugo's in Three Months, Colloquial, TY (new and old edition), Linguaphone,
Assimil in French and monolingual textbooks En to tre, Ny i Norge, På Vei, Stein på
Stein, Her på Berget. After those I started reading books and watching TV series.
