Do you want to learn Norwegian, understand the culture, and actually live the language—in a warm, supportive, and creative community? At Solbakken Folk High School, just an hour from Oslo, you get the time, space, and encouragement to grow your language skills through daily use, close mentorship, and an exciting blend of lessons and real-life experiences.
You'll have customized Norwegian instruction in a small group, but also many classes with the rest of the students at school, like choir, voice technique, dance and basic acting training, with dedicated teachers. The teaching combines grammar, vocabulary, and oral practice with fun and varied methods tailored to how people actually learn.
But Norwegian at Solbakken isn't just classroom work. We use nature, history, art, and culture as your extended classroom. From learning how to bake waffles to watching a play at the National Theatre and wandering through deep forests. We take you to Finnskogen, Kongsvinger, Odalstunet, Oslo and much more – everything within less than an hour away from our school.
This is your chance to truly immerse yourself in language and life in Norway, together with a tight-knit group of fellow students from around the world.
This course is for anyone serious about learning Norwegian—not just in theory, but in daily practice. You’ll be challenged to speak, listen, and engage in both academic and everyday situations, with teaching tailored to your level. Language comes alive through excursions like hikes, cultural visits, and theatre trips, where you learn by doing—shopping, exploring, and even naming trees and animals in Norwegian. At Solbakken, you live in a close, creative community with students from theatre, film, and other courses, joining shared classes, festivals, and social life. It’s a unique chance to practice real conversations every day and become part of something bigger than a language course.
De frilynte folkehøgskolene har verdigrunnlag som ikke tar utgangspunkt i ett bestemt livssyn. De vil gjerne ha elever med ulike interesser og livssyn.
