Is Norwegian a hard language to learn to speak? ?

Question

just wondering,

Answer 1

It can be kind of tough-some of the sounds disappear in connected speech and the orthography isnt phonetic really...  

Answer 2

Hei. A few sounds might be challenging for many non-Norwegians. Each multi-syllabic word is one of two tones, but very few learners worry about that aspect, and they get along just fine. The grammar is relatively simple for English speakers.

Why not join us on NORSKKLASSEN, and have a look at my website for people learning Norwegian -- see the two links below. On my website, you can look at a few recommended resources, and a few lists I've provided of nouns, verbs etc.

Answer 3

Nope. My friend speaks Norwegian, and she teaches me bits and pieces of it every now and then, and I find it easy to pick up on. It's a very beautiful language actually.

Good luck if you plan on learning it! =D
