What we do

Sognefjorden

Our purpose is to be able to understand, speak and read Norwegian, using source material from text books, tape courses and books which the coordinator has accumulated over the years, together with internet extracts

Essentially we are starting from scratch so beginners are welcome.

Reports

July 2010

Doesn’t time fly when you are enjoying yourself. In October the group will have its 100th meeting, so we will have a little celebration. Then we get stuck into the next hundred. We ought to be getting fluent by the end of that! If progress to date is anything to go by that is not impossible.

March 2010:
Reading and writing skills continue to improve. Engaging in spontaneous conversation and picking up the spoken word and is the hardest part of any language but listening to native Norwegian speakers on CD recently showed just how much better we have become. What is more it is still good fun.

Reading and writing skills have improved out of all recognition. Picking up the spoken word and engaging in spontaneous conversation is the hardest part of any language but there have been vast improvements in these areas too. What is more it is still good fun.
