Jeg kan snakke Norsk!

or... I can speak Norwegian!

At least a little bit anyway... I just completed my first Norwegian language course. It was a 6 week course, for 2 evenings a week, 48 hours of tuition, so I should have learnt something! However, it is nowhere near enough for me to feel any confidence in holding a full and normal conversation.

As part of applying for Norwegian residency I am obliged to attend a further 300 hours of Norwegian language and society classes. Hopefully after that much tuition I will be a lot more confident with the language then I am now. I will be taking a break from studying until next year now tho.. as baby is just a few weeks away!

When Xandu and I first got together I bought a few teach yourself Norwegian books and CD's and although I have used them a bit, going to classes is definitely a better way to learn a foreign language. 

I am looking forward to the day when I can write my first all Norwegian blog!
