Norwegian audio

It´s amazing how much you can learn when you hear.

I didn´t find anyone from Norway in the skypecast, only people that have been there and know a little about the language. But I found a lot of resources on internet searching on Google the words "norwegian audio"

So that´s how I reached languageonthe.net, a web page with a lot of useful resources to learn norsk. A few days ago I closed this page without looking at it, because the navigation menu was in Norsk, but right now, thanks to what I learned I´m not afraid to visit a page in norsk anymore.

When you enter you can click in the right menu the link called alfabetet and start listening to words in norsk (yep, it has audio) . You can listen to words like "telefon" (telephone) or "gaffel" (fork) right there clicking on the little speaker.

The first part of the menú it´s an introduction to Norsk words, the second part is about grammatics, the third one it´s for start using phrases in norsk. I will try to download all the audio and make one big audio file with all the words. That way I can go out with my iPod and listen to new words in norsk.

Velkomme oh mighty link ! While looking for some info and tired of listening to a woman saying repeatedly " Ja, Nai, Velkommen, Hyggelig a treffe deg... " I found this page that have REALLY good information for begginers: Norwegian for Begginers I have to confess that I think I arrived at this link putting on Google " Norwegian for dummies " :D So ashame of myself, but I think I found the GREATEST place for norwegian dummies like me :D Like a scholl teacher, the page showed me that the verb "to be" it´s so easy that you can be ROFL for a while after beeing in front of a monitor trying to learn how to say a simple phrase like: "I am Adrian" Jeg er Adrian er... er... That´s the verb. So I can learn Jeg (I), Du (You), Han(He), Hun(She), Det(It), Vi(We), Dere(You), De(They) and start to use them on simple phrases: Jeg er Adrian, Dere er leser bloget. (That´s a Tarzan way of saying: I am Adrian, you all are reading this blog. :D) How do you pronounce

Right know it´s 10:10 at night, or "ti over ti", as you prefer... I have a few days memorizing the way to say the time in norwegian. I repeat the time in norsk every time I put my eyes in my watch. Right now I´m very proud that I can tell the hour in norsk when speaking to someone (the pronunciation is very very easy and kind of catchy, but right now I don´t have any audio to show you) The only really bad thing is to see the face of every person that hear me saying, for example: "kvart over halv fire", but well, i have to learn to live with that meanwhile i´m here in this side of the world :) It really becomes very easy to do when you remember to do it constantly. Basically, you have to follow this process to whatever hour you like to say: 01:00 - klokken et 01:05 - fem over et 01:10 - ti over et 01:15 - kvart over et 01:20 - ti på halv to 01:25 - fem på halv to 01:30 - halv to 01:35 - fem over halv to 01:40 - ti over halv to 01:45 - kvart på to 01:50 - ti på to

Start asking

Start asking questions to people everywhere, but please do it in norsk :D You can use: Hva = What Hvem = Who Hvor = Where Hvordan = How Hvorfor = Why Hva heter du? (What´s your name?) Hva gjøre du? (What do you do?) Hvem er han? (Who is him?) Hvor er glasset? (Where are the glasses?) Hvordan kan jeg kjøre en bil? (How can I drive a car?) Hvorfor leser du boket? (Why do you read the book?) Those are my first selfmade questions in norsk. I hope I made them well, if you know norsk and see a mistake please tell me!!
