Hei, alle sammen!

Thank you for being so patient with us. We haven’t uploaded a podcast in a while as we’ve just had a baby who is taking up a lot of our time. We greatly appreciate your encouragement and are excited to get back in the saddle again. We are only new at teaching Norwegian and are still working out the kinks in our lessons so bare with us. One day we hope to have the best Norwegian learning series online.

In this Podcast we talk a little bit about the grammar of personal pronouns and how to use them in sentences instead of nouns.  We also talk about words that make lists or add information such as ‘or’ and ‘and’.  There are a couple of ‘listen and repeat’ exercises as well.

These podcasts are designed around the My Little Norway Norwegian Lesson Series. For us to provide a wide variety of listening and vocal exercises, it is essential for listeners to view the text in focus. This text can be found in each podcast post, or in the associated Norwegian Lesson post.

This podcast is taken from Norwegian Lesson 103.  The length of the podcast is 9:50 mins.
