Blogs

Blogs from people from norway are a great tool to familiarize with norwegian. At first I was afraid of not understanding anything, but when you read and read you start to recongnize some phrases and words. And people puts a lot of pics in their blogs, that helps a lot because you can know about what they are talking.

There are a few blogs that i´m following. Those are from people traveling around the world, studying or simply writing from their country.

marianneinsandiego.blogspot.com
(She is studying in san diego, good to read)

andreayork.blogspot.com
(Andrea in England, she recently got there)

kreativkristin.blogspot.com
(She write about things she do. Cards, gifts and some more things. She write in norwegian and english at the same time)

It is curious that most of the blogs are written by ladies. I do not understand everything, I barely can have a notion of what they are writing in their blogs... Right now I´m like a child with attention problems or like a husband watching a game meanwhile the wife is saying something to him... barely understand some words or phrases!!

There are a lot more and you can find the right one for yourself looking the word "norway", for example, in technorati.com

Oh yeah... Norwegian for Beginners

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

klokke? Det er ti over ti

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!!
