How did u make the list of vocab ( the 8 tip ) ?

Nice👌

Tusen Takk! I am just starting to learn Norwegian, and I am trying to immerse myself in the language as much as possible. I really loved your ideas and will be putting them into practice.

Well this explains sth bout nerds

After 595 days on Duolingo learning Portuguese, I am now writing my own paragraphs in English into Google Translate and then copying the English and Portuguese paragraphs into Excel. I like your idea of memorizing the sentences to build familiarity with the language. One of my concerns is that if I construct a sentence in Portuguese, the words may be correct but no one ever expresses the idea with those words. Google Translate helps me to be sure I'm using expressions the way a Brazilian speaker would say the sentence. I really like your video and the approach you have taken to reach your goal.

I think the hardest thing about Norwegian is understanding what Norwegians are saying to you once you get into a conversation. If you speak English it's actually a pretty easy language to learn but the problem is the chances are you are not going to be speaking to someone who is speaking the same language you've learned (if you live anywhere except Oslo). Most countries you go to people would try to avoid dialects when speaking to a foreigner but most Norwegians won't or just can't conceive of not using their dialect with anyone. You have to be almost fluent before you can even begin to use all the Norwegian you have learned and that is the problem with learning Norwegian. The 'entry level' is so ridiculously high.

Tusen takk! You sound amazing in Norwegian ❤

Can you please make 1000 more videos? Thank you

My Norwegian friend also taught me about commas and ikke, that depending on where you put the comma the sentence can change meaning completely. Example that they use in elementary schools: "Häng ham, ikke vente pa mej" or "Häng ham ikke, vente pa mej" (means: hang him, don’t wait for me, or, don’t hang him, wait for me)

👏👏👏You're amazing! Norwegian is a such pretty language, and your pronunciation is very good. ❤Blessings❤

OH MY GOD THIS GUY BEST LANG LEARNING METHOD DIRECTED ME HERE

shyna

As a Norwegian myself, her Norwegian is totally excellent. Well done, indeed.

I alle dager! Du snakker veldig bra norsk! Også tonefallet er riktig! Det er skills:) well done❤

Hei Ilys ! :) Jeg er virkelig imponert over at du har lære deg norsk på så kort tid! :) Hadde jeg snakket med deg på gata i Oslo ville jeg trodd du var født og oppvokst her i landet! Jeg er 100% norsk og er veldig stol av landet mitt, jeg håper du gjør det samme. P.S. jeg har prøvd å lære meg fransk, men det har ikke gått så bra, foreløpig. Ønsker deg hell og lykke med alt du måtte finne! :) --Thor

Спасибо большое за вашу методику))

English translation under my Norwegian comment. “Jeg er Norsk og bruker denne metoden for å lære meg Nederlandsk. Og det er veldig gøy. Jeg har sett denne videoen flere ganger, og hver gang jeg ser den introen så føler jeg meg veldig patriotisk” “I’m Norwegian and I’m using this method to learn Dutch. And it’s really fun. I’ve watched this video many times, and every time I see that into, I feel very patriotic”

denne videoen gjorde meg så nostalgisk. jeg vil tilbake til norge og min norske familie😭

Jesus is the only way to be saved and enter eternal life, you should join His Catholic Church!

Greetings from Scotland. Thanks for that. One of the best videos I have seen for advice. I have been studying German for several years. You are so right for success.

This video is incredible. It's given me confidence and more structure to my approach at the beginning of my journey learning Italian. I've watched it 4 times to develop a lesson plan for self-study. Here I go!!!

Ilys, thank you very much!!!! The video is so helpful and inspiring, and you're so productive. After watching you I wanna work on my languages. And you idea about learning sentences by heart is great!! You're so right. Good luck! And greetings from Russia:)

Very inspirational. <3

Føkk you sound Norwegian. I'd think you grew up somewhere close to my area if I met you

These are such useful ideas, thanks a ton!

This was really inspiriring and usefull, thank you for sharing!

Thanks a lot!😊 I really find your tips assumedly useful, at this moment I do practice some of the aspects in the video, but now I'm going to try more of them )

que legal, agora eu aprendo inglês! abraços do Brasil ♥

Her Norwegian is so fluent you can hear some Norwegian accent in the English even, lol. Extremely impressive

Liked it a lot! Looking forward for videos alike 🩵

I'm from Wales but I went to school in Norway for a year and a half. I probably reached a B2 level and honestly I was so shy, I struggled to speak in the language at all but like you said, just constantly listening and absorbing the language is so good for learning it. It would've been more ideal if I spoke more, practised more, wrote more, but at the end of the day through mainly just listening I still picked up on so much, it's crazy. And now I'm here because I'm going to folk highschool next year and I'm determined to reach fluency! (I'm a bit rusty, it's been three years since I was there)

Living in Nirvegia for 3 years and being in-love with language and cmparing that to learning language on school ? Are you even serious people?! In 3 years 99% of human beings would be fluent! 6 months is enougth to get to Almost fluent in any language.

You're beautiful😍

This was super helpful and inspiring!! I am 1.5 years into learning Spanish on my own and this was so encouraging to hear I am on the right track, and to get some fresh ideas on how to learn. Thank you!

Like from Russia❤

Thank you so much ❤

Thank you! This video has been sooooo helpful. You have inspired me to keep going when I had all but given up because the course I was following to learn Portuguese was not working. This approach actually makes perfect sense.

Mye lære fra denne videoen 👏👏👏, kjempebra jobb❤

get to the point....

Excellent approach. I speak some Norwegian. I'm going to go back and apply your learning insights. I would LOVE to have start a series on French too.

As an uruguayan trying to learn and improve my English by myself your tip are really useful for me! Some of them are very clever! For instance I had never thought about writing stories. Thank you for your video❤

Jeg er fra Norge

I’m currently Learning Japanese ! Thank you for the advices , it’s actually really helpful!!

Amazing video! Im learning french and the tips are awesome! theres another youtuber that did the same thing, he didnt reach a native level but learned the languages the fastest he could. His youtube is Language Lords and he basically confirmed everything that you have shared!

I have wanted to learn to speak Norwegian and visit Norway for a long time and started learning Norwegian about two weeks ago , I really enjoy learning Norwegian and find your story inspirational. I hope to become fluent in Norwegian and one day visiting or moving to Norway.

du valgte det riktige språket!! uten tvil!!

Language insanity I just made myself sick looking at the wikipedia page for some Indian languages: Hindi, Mayalayam (yes, it's a palindrome), Tamil Obviously, no sane logical person would have EVER sat down and deliberately invented such languages, especially their writing, and myriad of illogical rules. The written symbols are absolutely unimaginable, unlearnable -- like trying to copy some FRACTCAL design twice the same way. I have no idea how humans evolved -- language evolution is akin to biological evolution: just solving problems that are "just good enough" but no overall plan to organize such thought. Think of human written and oral evolution as the absolutely WORST computer program the absolute WORST programmer ever wrote, and then exponentially make accelerate/increase the spaghetti code. Thank aliens (I say Thank Aliens, now - never Thank God) the next step in our human biological and technological evolution will be what aliens have: telepathy. Not ten trillion different languages with ten trillion different bleeps and blurps souinds and ten trillion different squiggles to say the same thing. Honestly, it was just depressing: no wonder humans cannot get along when there is THIS such ENORMOUS barrier to communications. It's the main reason I gave up learning/studying Russian. Like, wtf the point with 7000 other languages out there? I mean, Russian and the Cyrillic alphabet is fucking trivially easy compared to these Indian and Chinese languages Funny - in my one and only semester of Chinese, I didn't actually find the writing exercises in my books too bad. I could begin to see similarities in symbols. Obviously I never got ANYwhere far enough into Chinese to suffer the madness. But, I cannot even begin to fathom the bizarre symbols of Hindi, Dravidian languages. No shame at all in giving everyone on earth a handheld computer language translator.

I reconnected with my spanish by doing a lot of this including playing video games. It's a much more natural way to learn and it's pretty fun. Solid approach.

Yes… I think that grammar rules are good to learn, but for some reason they attack you with them on day one of most traditional classes. I never started learning anything in French until I got interested in vocabulary and pronunciation. Spanish was the same way. Two years of classes and I could say the days of the month, months of the year and count to 100. I also learned how to make one traditional dish. But that was it. Thanks for the video! Always nice to hear how others make it work… and now it’s soooo much easier to find target language content!!
