Velkommen!
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, 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 video, article or an opinion piece, are not large, but they will get you warmed up to the topic. The materials are accompanied by a vocabulary list and a comprehension/vocabulary quiz.
Ta norsken din til et nytt nivå!
Level and topics
The conversational course is for students who are at the B 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)
- Discuss traditions and celebrations in Norway and your own native country
- Learn and discuss what is unique about Norwegian culture and mentality
- Talk about news and current affairs
- And much more!

Jeg likte at jeg kunne øve på norsk språk. Jeg forstår bedre og jeg føler mer komfortabel med å høre eller lese norsk, men det er litt vanskelig å snakke, spesielt nå som jeg er i Hellas og jeg har ingen nordmann å øve med. Kurset var veldig organisert og rettelsene var nok uten å få meg til å føle meg dårlig.
Selvfølgelig anbefaler jeg kurset til andre!
Kurset fokuserer på praktisk hverdagsspråk og er godt strukturert. Man lærer både vokabular og grammatikk i kontekst. Kurset anbefales til alle som har liten eller ingen mulighet til å praktisere norsk ellers.
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.
