Michel Thomas Foundation Norwegian

£80

Nine hours of structured learning takes you from the basic building blocks of the Norwegian language to creating your own sentences.

 

Listen as two students with no previous knowledge of the language are guided through the foundations of the language and join in as the third student in the class. Pause and respond when prompted to start to put your speaking skills into practice. The courses are unscripted: you hear the students’ real progression from absolute beginners to confident speakers – including their mistakes and the teacher’s corrections. You’ll learn in small, manageable steps, building your ability to produce ever more complicated sentences.

 

You will start with common and loan words, giving you a substantial starting vocabulary within your first hours of learning. By the end of the course, you will be confidently formulating sentences in the present, future and past tenses.

 

This course is taught by Angela Shury-Smith according to the principles of the Michel Thomas method. Angela Shury-Smith has been teaching Norwegian for over 25 years, both at the Norwegian School in London and as an Associate Lecturer in Norwegian translation at Surrey University. She is also an accomplished translator of Norwegian literature into English.

Why learn Norwegian?

 

There are some 5 million speakers of Norwegian, mainly living in Norway – but also in other parts of Scandinavia (Denmark and Sweden), Europe (Germany, Spain, and the UK), and further afield in the USA. As a Germanic language, Norwegian is relatively easy for English speakers to learn not just because it has hundreds of recognizable words but also because the grammar and the sentence structure are significantly closer to English than either German or Dutch.
