Welcome to my conversational group classes!
You get to speak!
In the conversational classes, the focus is of course on YOU, and the opportunity for you to speak as much Norwegian as possible. My job, then, is to create an environment for you and the others in the group to grow by providing relevant materials, vocabulary, quizzes, grammar explanations, live notes and giving instant feedback when you speak.
Structure
We will meet on a weekly basis (full schedule below), and in total the course package includes 8 group sessions of 75 minutes each. Having 75-minute sessions enables us to get into depth about the topics we discuss, giving everyone plenty of time to speak. The group size is up to 8 people.
Materials
What you’ll also get when buying the course is one or two pieces of material per lesson, which you can use to prepare for each class. These materials, typically a vocabulary list and quiz (sometimes a video or article) are not large, but they will get you warmed up to the topic.
Level and topics
The conversational course is for you if you have an A2 level of Norwegian and who want to develop fluency, expand your vocabulary, and feel more comfortable conversing in Norwegian in real-life situations. In the course you’ll get to:
-Talk about place you come from
- Have structured speaking practice focusing on subject verb inversion (verb in 2nd place)
- Talk about your daily habits
- Talk about traditions and celebrations in Norway and your own native country
- Talk about travel and transport
- Talk about your hobbies and interests
- Talk about weather and seasons
- Talk about health and wellness

Testimonials
Chiara
I enjoy the topics we were discussing: the fact that each time we had a different topic to talk about, and they were all relevant for the course level. I also enjoyed activities like quizzes, or guessing the words, etc. The course has helped me in learning new words and improving my spoken Norwegian skills. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve Norwegian because in this context you are kind of forced to speak and so it's easier to overcome the language barriers and feel more and more comfortable.
Helen
I enjoyed the fact that Ola corrected me as I spoke. It has made me feel less afraid to speak Norwegian. I would recommend it because you get a lot of practice in speaking and can learn from your mistakes.

Jeg likte kurset og lærte mye. Jeg var fornøyd med måten du brukte til å balansere tema, tid og spesifikke mål. Vi hadde nok tid til å snakke og lære grammatikk. Vi var en liten gruppe, men vi snakket og hørte på hverandre. Det hjalp oss å forstå andre mennesker. Oppgaver var også gode å prøve. Jeg kan anbefale at vi kan velge et tema før hvert kurs, det kan være en survey eller poll med ulike temaer og elevene kan velge og du kan velge fra dem.
