If you want to progress quickly from
the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Norwegian
with confidence, then Teach Yourself Norwegian
is the course for you. Although aimed at those with
no previous knowledge, it is equally suitable for anyone
wishing to brush up existing knowledge for a holiday
or business trip. Key structures and vocabulary are
introduced in 16 thematic units progressing from introducing
yourself and dealing with everyday situations to writing
a letter and making a complaint. In the later units
you will become familiar with many aspects of Norwegian
life as well as the language. The emphasis is on communication
throughout with important language structures introduced
through dialogues on the accompanying recording. The
course is centred around an English student, Sue, and
her adventures in Norway, including a hospital visit,
celebrations and family life. There are plenty of exercises
to practise the language as it is introduced and tips
throughout to help with grammar. Cultural information
tips give useful advice and information for anyone planning
a trip to Norway.
The new edition retains the tried-and-tested structure
of the lessons but has been updated to include a brand
new double CD of the audio material. Popular features
of the previous edition have been retained:
- an English-Norwegian vocabulary,
- a glossary of grammatical terms,
- a taking it further section directing you to further
sources of real Norwegian.
