I can help with Norwegian
 

Hi :ywave: I can help with Norwegian, if anyone needs it. I can also (try to) answer questions you have about Norway.

I need more help to speak it. I read Norwegian really well. but speaking it is the hardest.

question : if my dad was looking to move to norway and his grandparents came to the states from there, would it be easy for him to acquire citizenship ? (i know they do that in Scotland)

question : where do you live so i can move there and court you ?

Ahh oki. Do you mean pronounciation or just using it?

1. No, they don't do that here. If you have a job offer in Norway, want to study here or have a Norwegian fiancé, wife or husband, you can apply, but it's not easy, I have heard of people getting mentally ill because of the process.

2. You can't ^^,

I am already mentally deranged, so there is no issue there. Looks like spouse is the way I'll go.

do you know anybody in the market for a handsome, intelligent, strong, crazy husband with a unicorn obsession and an affinity for computers and cars?

Both, it is getting easier in using it this year, im at the point where i can hear it and answer without thinking in english. but still at a basic simple level.
pronounciating the words is the most frustrating for me and putting long sentences together is still a tab difficult.
At the moment im working in Denmark and that does not help me. one month to go and i will be back in Norway working. can't wait. ha det

I think that's very good. I'm not sure, but sometimes it seems like English-speaking people have more difficulties with pronounciation.

Btw; when I tried to learn English, I read Harry Potter and the Prisoner From Azkaban. In the beginning, I didn't understand anything, but after a while it got easier, and when I finished the book I could read fluently. Maybe you could read the same book in Norwegian, it makes it easier to write long sentences. It's called Harry Potter og fangen fra Azkaban in Norwegian.

Oh, that's good :) Ha det :)

i have a question i recently visited some relatives in Norway And Sweden

norway being the better ;) prettier girls. rrrr

i was wondering since i forget if my norwege(?) cousins did this to.

but do you say "Jah" and why do "you" over pronounce it ?

like jAAAAAAh. sort of starts calm then shouts in the middle then the (h) just softens it out. (i laughed everytime they randomly said that)

Hihi :p

Do you know in what kind of situation they said it? Because "jah" sounds like "ja", which means "yes", and unless I am really annoyed, I wouldn't say it like that. But for example if you're a teenager, and your mother would tell you to come down to eat, and you were in the middle of something you concidered important, then you probably would say it like that, but normally "ja" is pronouced really fast. :p

I have been wondering how widespread the use of English is in Norway. I really want to learn the native language of wherever I end up living so I will have to start learning Norwegian, but it would be a nice transition if bi - trilingualism included l'anglais
so, basically, do lot's of people understand english, or is it like Malta where mostly the younger generation speaks it, or are you just an odd one? :D
(I really don't want to be the dumb american who can't be bothered to learn the language.. god help me if i'm ever looked upon like i look upon the illegal mexican's in our country...although I am kind of ok with the illegal immigrants who bother to learn english)

I think all scandinavian countries are the same regarding english. It's mandatory in school.

Therefore "everybody" is capable of speaking english. (I use capable because there will be all between the people sounding exactly like americans or englishmen and then there will be the cases of Swedish chef)

The problem being on the other hand that it tends to be very hard for a foreigner to learn the native language without going to a class for it, because everyone tend to speak english with foreigners!

I had a French friend that learned to write and speak Korean within 6 months of living there.
He then lived 6 years in Sweden and NEVER learned Swedish more then the casual and odd sentences. We all spoke English to him and it drove him nuts! :-P

Hihi :p No, I think most adults and most of the youth know Norwegian, and many old people too. If you're an adult and don't know English, you would probably have difficulties finding a job, because so much is in English. Also, many of the study programes are in English, for example computer studies and many economic studies. So at least most of the youth and adults know a lot of English - but the women are usually better at the pronounciation part :p Here's an example: YouTube - Thorbjørn Jagland (Nobel Committee ) speech for Barack Obama

By the way, the word "ja" is pronounced with a soft "j", so it sounds more like "ya" :)

It's not hard to get into Norway, it's really simple actually, harder to get into the states! Though a job offer speeds it up alot. If you live in a European contry, example Germany (Eller Nederland, mange Nederlendere som flytter til Norge) they bearly have to fill in papers:rolleyes:

Superbump aside, it's good to see some fellow Norwegians here. :D
(Østlending her.)

Do you play Norwegian Black Metal? o.o

No, I don't :p

Vel, da jeg skulle søke etter informasjon, kom jeg over en blogg om en dame som var forlovet med en amerikaner, hvor forloveden ville bosette seg i Norge. Hun skrev om alle problemene de støtte på, og om prosessen generelt. De endte opp med å ansette en advokat, fordi det var såpass lett å fylle ut feil, overse noe, osv. Jeg vet ikke om det er noen forskjell på Europa og Amerika, jeg har bare erfaring med ikke-Europeiske land, type Asia og N-Afrika. :) Enkelte har ventet i flere år, men det er jo selvsagt annerledes enn for amerikanere. Beklager at det ble på norsk, jeg forsøkte å skrive det på engelsk først, men er ikke like lett å formulere seg da. ^^

I lige måde :D Jeg er en Oslo-ing :p

Kan godt være sant det:eek: Hmm, må sjekke mer om det... Veit bare at enkelte sier at det er kjempe enkelt... Sikkert vanskeligere hvis du er fra USA da:vsign:

Ja, kan godt hende :) Jeg vet ikke så mye om det, dette var første gang jeg leste om det, så. :p
