  • Learn Norwegian with a fully qualified language teacher

    This course is a result of my own teaching practice. I know what can be difficult to learn in the Norwegian language. A lot of you like to study on your own. Here you can do this, but not get stuck learning things that is not correct. I have seen so many students trying to learn Norwegian on their own. When they start a proper Norwegian course, many of them have to ‹unlearn› much of what they have learned. In this course you learn the basics of the language, and it will give you a solid foundation for your Norwegian language journey,

  • Private online lessons

    You can also buy one-to-one online classes with me on Zoom. I am a native Norwegian teacher. I hold a master's degree in Norwegian (focusing on acquisition of Norwegian as a second language). I am familiar with the process of learning foreign languages, I have learned Spanish as an adult both in Spain and in Norway. I hold a bachelor's degree in Spanish, and I have also studied English. I have taught Norwegian to foreigners at different schools and also at UiB (University of Bergen). I have a great interest in grammar and languages in general, and I am always looking for ways of making language learning (and teaching) fun and effective. No questions are stupid, and please don´t be afraid of making mistakes! We all make mistakes, and most of the times we learn from our mistakes!
