    An online course is a great way to learn a language, however if you just sit by yourself and don´t get feedback on your work and progress it´s hard to really succeed. You will sooner or later come to a point when you´ll need a tutor or teacher to help you out and guide you through some of the subjects covered in this course. This is why I offer several possibilities for interaction with me.

    First of all you can send me 5 minutes audio recordings using Audacity or any other recording software you might have. Make a recording of you reading the text and I´ll send you back an audio file with comments and hints on how to pronounce the text. It may also be questions concerning the content of the text as well as grammar. You can send an e-mail to henning.gustavsen@gmail.com and add your sound file as an attachment.

    You may also add me to your Skype contacts (Skype ID: henning55) if you like to pay for Skype lessons with me either 1 on 1 or in a group. More on this in the video.

    From time to time I will also offer very cheap Webinars for as many as 100 students where I cover topics related to what you learn in this course.

Requirements

  • You must know the Latin alphabet (If you are able to read this, you already know it)
  • Some basic knowledge of English since the instructions will be given in English. (Especially in the first part of the course)

Description

An Introduction to the Norwegian Language 

     Elementary Norwegian Course Level A1 follows The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment (CEFR).  

     As a beginner level course no previous knowledge of Norwegian is needed. However being familiar with the Latin Alphabet will be necessary. 

  1. Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type.
     

  2. Can introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has.
     

  3. Can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.

     For a complete presentatation of the course content please watch the Intro video. 


At A1 level in Norwegian, proficiency typically involves grasping fundamental vocabulary and basic sentence structures to navigate simple everyday interactions. Learners at this stage should be capable of understanding and using common greetings, farewells, and polite expressions. They should be able to introduce themselves, provide basic personal information such as their name, age, and nationality, and inquire about the same from others. For instance, they should be able to say "Hei, jeg heter Anna. Jeg er 25 år gammel og jeg kommer fra Tyskland" (Hello, my name is Anna. I am 25 years old and I am from Germany) or ask "Hva heter du?" (What is your name?).

Additionally, at the A1 level, learners should be able to handle simple, everyday tasks such as ordering food in a restaurant, asking for directions, or making purchases at a store. For example, they should be able to say "Jeg vil gjerne ha en kopp kaffe, takk" (I would like a cup of coffee, please) or "Unnskyld, hvor er nærmeste apotek?" (Excuse me, where is the nearest pharmacy?). Furthermore, they should be able to understand and use basic numbers for telling time, asking about prices, or giving simple quantities.

Moreover, proficiency at the A1 level involves being able to understand and respond appropriately to basic social interactions, such as expressing gratitude, apologizing, or giving simple compliments. Learners should also be able to engage in basic small talk about familiar topics like weather, hobbies, or interests. For example, they should be able to say "Takk skal du ha" (Thank you) or "Beklager, jeg forstår ikke" (Sorry, I don't understand) in response to various situations.

Overall, at the A1 level, learners are establishing a foundation in the Norwegian language, focusing on essential vocabulary, basic grammar structures, and practical communication skills necessary for everyday life situations.
