I'm still learning Norwegian too, but at least I have the advantage of having studied Swedish in school for five years (I'm from Finland so that's compulsory), and that helps a lot! On the other hand I'm married to a Brit, so there's no chance we would speak Norwegian at home. And I don't need it too much at work either.. Yaiks. I need to come up with some creative ideas like you have done!! :) Satu VWhttp://todestinationunknown.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219175630745017261.post-71114764709531145342012-09-29T07:24:12.552+02:002012-09-29T07:24:12.552+02:00Learning Norwegian was one off the hardest things ...Learning Norwegian was one off the hardest things I've ever done! I too am married to a Norwegian and after twenty four years of marriage we still speak English. I don't think our marriage would have survived if we didn't. And we still do it to this day because if there's any place I need to be my "real" self, its in my relationship with him. (it just works for us)<br /><br />With that said... Try to talk as much Norwegian as possible with everyone else. Practice, practice, practice. Reading Norwegian text, while listening to people talk English on television helps and reading children's books also helps (work your way up gradually)...<br /><br />Remember your not alone and you can do it!<br />Good luck!<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
