Great video and suggestions. How have you found understanding the different Norwegian accents and dialects? Is it as tricky as some people say?

Flasken har georgisk eller armensk skrift trykket på?

Your Norwegian is very good you have talant. i can!t speak Norwegian good but i love learn languages.But only can speak good Spanish because is my mother language.Jeg laere norsk pa KZbin .Det hjelper meg sa nya Svensk.Jeg snakker litt Svensk ogsa pa KZbin.Jeg ar 53 gammel og det kommer meg veldig vanskelig.

It's amazing how you can speak Norwegian so smoothly like It's your native language. I related to your story about "learning" a language at school over and over and yet not making any progress (in my case it was English bc I'm Brazilian), then I took a course and actually learned it. Some time later, I also tried to learn French, which I did, but only the basics and now I'm interested and studying Norwegian :)

Bottle of Georgian Borjomi on your table! 😁

Nå som at jeg har lært Norsk så mye jeg kunne... Jeg er ferdig med Duolingo nå... Må jeg finne muligheter å snakke språket. Det er ikke lett her i Sør Afrika fordi jeg kan ingen her som snakker Norsk. Det er målet mitt å snakke flyttende innen 31 Desember i år. Jeg vet ikke om jeg kan gjøre det men alt begynner med et ønske

As a Norwegian who has Norwegian as their 1st language, and being a fluent speaker, you almost sound native. Some words/tones are off, but overall it’s really good! Impressive! You and Norwegian with ilys are the only two I’ve seen that has suck a clear speech even though a few tones are off with certain words, for not being Norwegian or a native speaker, you’re really good! Well done😄😊😉

LEGEND

Alex, that is so impressive!!!! I feel so embarrased about my poor efforts in studying Norsk. Tuuusen takk for motivating !!!

Learning this level of norwegian in 6 months is totally insane man, good job (native norwegian)

Where do you find a Norwegian conversation group in the US?

As others have said, your Norwegian is excellent. Only tiny nuances reveal that you are not a native Norwegian speaker. And actually, if I were to guess where your are from, I would say Sweden. It sounds like you have a slight Swedish accent. I would never have guessed that you are an American.

Thanks for everything! Please recommend strategies to learn Norwegian when in a monolingual English speaking country.

Wow dette er imponerende! Sjekker ut de andre videoene dine!

hei, jeg begynner akkurat på språket, noen tips?

Is it just Americans who can study for free in Norway (with Norwegian speaking ability) or can Australians and or British also? I have both passports

Eg trur ein ting som mange utlendingar ikkje kjener er at dei er mange dialektar på norsk, og etter mi meining er det litt vektig for ein å bestemma kva for ein uttale ein bør læra seg på norsk. Mange utlendingar kan ikkje merka kva for ei dialekt ein snakkar, då dei kanskje ikkje kan læra ein slags norsk som dei vil bruka - kanskje dei vil bruka ein regional uttale og ikkje vil blanda han med andre uttalar. Det er ikkje ein retteg uttale på norsk, og dialektar kan vera forvirrande (det er kvifor eg elskar dei), det er kvifor ein bør vita kva ein vil læra etter mi meining. Uansett, det er ein ting som ikkje alle er interresert i og er ikkje så vektig som andre råd der du gav i denne videoen, og det er ikkje ein vanskeleg ting å bytta uttalen seinere når ein kan meir norsk. Eg er frå Hong Kong, og har lært norsk i 4 månadar. Vil gjere forskning om norske dialektar fordi dei er så interessant for meg. Bra råd uansett.

აბა ვინ მიხვდება რას ვიძახი ტრანზლაითის გარეშე:მე მიყვარს საქართველო და ყოველთვის მეყვარება

Ive been to the statue place

I’ve got about half way through this video and there’s no sign of how you learned Norwegian in 6 months. Can someone tell me that this isn’t yet another clickbait video and I’ll come back to it.

I'm learning Norwegian, such videos help me stay motivated. As well as numerous films about views, culture, construction and law that interest me. I speak Polish, Russian, intermediate English and I'm learning Norwegian. Wish me luck! haha I have one year of studies left, then postgraduate studies and I'm going to Norway, I still have time, but it's still hard to understand when they talk fast!

Humans: ok, that's expensive Increasing IQ: If I study that language I can do it free! Humans: Cool! Proud of you man, your pronounce is good!

Bergen test has been discontinued.

And i speak georgia

გამარჯობათ ჩემი მეგიბრებო😊

Thank you so much for suggesting Memrise! I like it a lot. I'm just starting studying Norsk.

Is it tough having to learn two languages at once for Norway?

0:53 ого, русский язык

я недавно начала учить норвежский и ваше видео очень мотивирует продолжать учебу, кстати это мой четвертый язык

Did you specifically learn either Nyorsk or Norsk Bokmal? I know they are similar but did you stick to one through apps / written learning to avoid confusion?

Not gonna lie im fron georgia and to say some places are beautiful some are not but mostly there are alot of grandpa's.

I love my country georgia🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪

Am I imagening hearing a northern norwegian tone/pitch pronounciation mixed in with 95% flawles bokmål norwegian? :p

This is incredibly motivating to me! Can I ask, where did you find good Norwegian content to consume? Can you recommend anything?

From US to Australia, u mean?

i’m georgia

Your Norwegian is almost flawless, and in 6 months and doing it on your own, that's amazing. I think I have used English for like 35 years and still can't speak fluently or write fluently, but it's understandable for most english people. After youtube came along my english writing skills improved and I no longer have problems with english software, I even tend to read the english manual if I don't understand it in Norwegian as sometimes some useful information get lost in translation. I follow some colouring classes online and the Australian english sometimes gets me allthough I spent a lot of time watching "Home and away" and "Paradise beach" and "Neighbours" back in the 80's and 90's there's words that are slightly different than American english, and we actually learned Oxford English in school. I'm really impressed with you learning the r, the æ,ø,å sounds and so on that good in such short amount of time. . In like three years no one would tell that your not a native Norwegian and I think people would be impressed by your english 😂. We have some British popstars living in Norway that can't speak Norwegian so you can understand even one word. This person is joking about it themself, but I think they would like to speak the language their friends use. (OMG that sentence was hard for me to write and I'm not sure I got the grammar correct.) 😮

I learnt Norsk in 8 months technically but now after 10 months I am reading without hassle, although I can't speak. 1) Still through reading I learn new words. For example, I read the Sørlandssenteret magazine I picked up in Kristiansand; 2) I speak whenever I can.. at the supermarket even though noone understands.. just saying Unnskyld meg, takk and at the deli "det holder", people know what you mean through context; 3) it helps that someone else at church is from Norway but I don't have confidence to speak yet; 4) Facebook.. if anyone cares what you are saying they'll click translate. 2300 words and still unable to speak is the same as Português for me. But I can read and write so... Your videos are encouraging

Your Norwegian is easier to understand than your English, and I am Danish but I spent one year in US so it's not foreign to me. You could teach me Norwegian!

I'm sooooo impressed 😊 You're really really good...... Du snakker SÅ bra norsk.... jeg har aldri hørt en amerikaner snakke så bra norsk som du gjør.... 😊

I'm Italian and studied norwegian for one year here, then 2 years later I moved to Norway (Oslo) for a 6 months exchange program with the local university. It was a fantastic chance to put in pratcice what I had been studying, my norwegian when I arrived there was already at a very good level, I could basically read just anything (I had to study law books in the local language) and also my speaking and writing were very good, but I still struggled to understand when people were talking. Many norwegians use dialects, or simply talk so fast and "eat" their words so much that in many occasions I had to ask to switch to english. It was so frustrating, because I couldn't understand the reason for that discrerpancy between my written and spoken norwegian and my ability to understand when others were speaking. Then, when I was finally starting to pick it up, it was time to turn back home. This was in 1999. At the moment being, I translate scandinavian languages into italian for a living, but I never had another chance to practice my spoken norwegian other than during short trips to the country or with the few norwegians I meet here and there in Italy or while travelling, and of course my ability to understand has only gotten worse. Such a shame.

Some Norwegian people on the internet told me that the standard accent is "cringe". What do you guys think? Where can I learn the not-cringe accent?

Jeg finner at Norsk er en godt blanding av Afrikaans, Engelsk, Tysk og Portugisisk

Jeg har lært Norsk i 8 måneder.. jeg er sikkert ikke så godt til å snakker sann, men jeg snakket i tre og en halv minutter i forrige uke for den forste gang.

🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪

your accent is amazing!

Recently relocated from the states to live in Norway and have begun taking classes, etc. This video is really refreshing to see because I keep true to the American stereotype and language is a hurdle for me. It's nice to see others are able to move past that disconnect American education causes and are able to learn languages! Gives me hope I'll one day be fluent!

As a Norwegian (born & raised) I would say that I have NEVER heard an American speak better Norwegian! That is absolutely impressive, especially the tone and pronunciation of å ø å, which are letters you don’t even have! I’d say you should start studying MORE languages, because this is definitely something you’re born to do! Bravo!

Lol. I’ve been speaking and reading Norwegian on and off most of my life. Your Norsk is fantastisk. Much easier to to decode that’s my Moms Bergensk.
