NORWEGIAN FOR FOREIGN SPEAKERS

At out school, we offer students Norwegian langue training with a very effective tool called Lingu included in the price. A high-quality language program that combines interactive app-based learning with engaging classroom teaching, helping you reach a confident conversational level in everyday Norwegian.

Except from the Norwegian classes, most teaching are held in Norwegian, and fellow students will help with translation. Norwegian youth speak English very well, and are helpful with translation in everyday life.

Our experience is that integration for foreign students tends to go very smoothly. Folk High School is probably the best way to learn Norwegian, and gain experience with Norwegian culture.
