Why Learn Norwegian?
• Because you have a spirit of adventure. Learning Norwegian connects you to five million native speakers. Norwegian is an official language in Norway, but is also widely spoken in other Scandinavian countries, Russia, and the U.S.A. • Because you want to connect. Norway has become one of the richest countries in the world, and it has an important role in the world economy. Maybe your interest is technology, business, or world affairs. Immersing yourself in Norwegian at the Language Villages will leave you with knowledge and understanding that you’ll use again and again. • Because you’d like to understand your past. Uff da! There are more than 4.5 million people of Norwegian ancestry in the United States today. Learning about Norwegian language and culture will give you a deep appreciation for your family and friends’ Scandinavian history. • Because you like having fun! Perhaps you’re hungry for smørbrød (open face sandwich), or want to try your hand at treskjæring (woodcarving). Authe
