Norwegian Course A1 – Beginner Level (Norskkurs A1 Nybegynner) Course Description: Start your Norwegian language journey with our A1 Beginner Norwegian Course (norskkurs A1). This course is designed for students with no prior knowledge of Norwegian, guiding you through the fundamentals in a friendly, immersive environment. You’ll learn to understand and use basic everyday expressions, greetings, and simple sentences – perfect for handling daily situations like introducing yourself, ordering food, or asking for directions. Our experienced instructors emphasize practical vocabulary and correct pronunciation from day one, ensuring you build a strong foundation in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. By the end of A1, you will be able to participate in simple conversations at work or in social settings and understand slow, clear speech on familiar topics. The course also introduces essential grammar (such as present tense of common verbs and basic word order) and Norwegian culture, so you get a comprehensive introduction to Norwegian life and language.

• You will learn to:
  • Understand and use basic phrases in Norwegian for everyday needs (e.g. how to meet and greet, talk about yourself and your family, shop for groceries, tell time and dates).
  • Carry out simple conversations (short dialogues about weather, interests, routines) and answer simple questions when spoken to slowly.
  • Use fundamental Norwegian grammar: present tense of common verbs, singular/plural nouns, definite/indefinite forms, and basic sentence structure.
  • Improve pronunciation of Norwegian sounds (such as å, ø, y vowels and the Norwegian sj and kj sounds) so you can be understood clearly.
  • Read and write simple texts like short emails, messages, or descriptions (e.g. introduce yourself in writing, fill out basic forms).

This beginner course (A1) is the most important building block for learning Norwegian. It’s perfect for expats, students, and anyone new to the language who wants a supportive, engaging introduction. Classes are taught in English and Norwegian, ensuring you understand instructions while being immersed in Norwegian from the start. After completing A1, you’ll be prepared to progress to the A2 level with confidence.
