Frequently Asked Questions

Is Norwegian easy to learn?

Yes and no. Norwegian is a lot like English, so most people who know English already have a good basis for learning Norwegian. However, Norwegian has a lot of dialects which can make it hard for learners to come to a rounded understanding of Norwegian speech, and there are far fewer, sparser learning resources out there for Norwegian than for a more widely spoken language like English or Spanish or even German or Korean. We Norwegians also love to speak English, which means we often switch over to English whenever we notice that somebody struggles with Norwegian. It is therefore best to get one-on-one tutoring with somebody skilled in Norwegian become fluent.

How much time does it take to learn Norwegian in Oslo?

It depends. Somebody can learn Norwegian within a few months, if they focus intensely, speak Norwegian often and read, watch and listen to Norwegian constantly. But this can be difficult to achieve alone, without accountability, consistency or guidance. With a tutor like me you assure getting lots of high-quality practice and mindful, personalized guidance.
