Learn the Nordic languages in classes offered at Scandinavia House. This course is for absolute beginners.

In this beginner’s course, you will build your Norwegian vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar skills, while also learning about Norwegian culture and life. By the course's end, you should be able to conduct simple conversations in Norwegian. Students are welcome to bring facts they know about Norway into class discussions.

You will get to practice small conversations and

reading in class, and there will be a focus on pronunciation and certain

Norwegian vowels and sounds which may be new to your ear. There will also be

at-home assignments focusing on reading, writing, and grammar, as well as an

optional end-of-semester presentation. Outside of class, students are

encouraged to watch Norwegian shows/movies, read children’s books, and have podcasts on in the

background.
