Learn the Nordic languages in classes offered in-persona and virtually at Scandinavia House!

In this class all four core skill areas (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) are covered with an emphasis on conversational Norwegian. Continue to expand your vocabulary and master grammatical structures, while enhancing your conversational abilities, and deepening your cultural knowledge of all things Norwegian, through study of themes related to daily life.

Students are encouraged to bring Norwegian topics of interest, into class, for discussion. You will get to practice more in-depth conversations in class which will put your grammatical structures to the test, all the while building on your listening, and speaking skills. Focus will be given to pronunciation, Norwegian structure, tone, and flow.

There will also be weekly at-home assignments, focusing on reading, writing, and grammar, as well as a recommend end-of-semester presentation. This course builds upon Norwegian 2, or its equivalent.

The required text will be provided via pdf before the first class.

This hybrid class will be held both in-person and via Zoom; in-person attendance for the first four classes is highly recommended. Classes take place on Mondays from 7:10–9:10 PM beginning September 23 and ending on December 9. Please note that there will be no class on October 28 and November 11.

No prerequisites required; instructions for remote learning will be emailed upon registration. For questions about language levels, please contact Marie-Therese Bjornerud. Tuition is $675 ($607.50 ASF Members); 20 hours total class time.
