Norwegian?

Well, it´s a basic idea.

It was Sunday, I was watching movies in my house with some friends and we started to watch "The Boy With The Incredible Brain" where they show a boy called Daniel Tammet who has a extremly impressive capacity of doing complex math operations and can learn a completly new language in only 7 days. They finish the movie showing how he learned Islandic in only 7 days.

"Well" - I tought - "I would like to put a test to myself". I´m willing to learn a new language from zero and test my learning time in days.

I have a finish line in March 2008, when I want to go to Europe for first time in my life. There I will visit Norway and test myself in real life.

Well, let´s start, time is gold... Let´s find how to say "hello" in norwegian!

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...

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!!

Oh sweet music

I have a few days looking for some norwegian music. I like to hear music because I can learn the lyrics and repeat them, so i learn the language that way. I found some amazing music, looking for songs that had titles with words like: Jeg, er, mitt, elsker, ikke, deg, natt. I´m listening mostly to: Nik Og Jay (Hip hop music, very good) Unit Five (Soft rock) Postgirobygget (Traditional rhythms mostly) I will keep looking for more, may be I will try to contact someone from Norway so he/she can tell me what they listen there.
