Jeg tenkte det samme da jeg begynte herWow tenk at the nordmenn her. Joina nettopp.
Er det forresten noen Oslo skribenter her som kanskje er interessert i å ha en skrivekompis?
Sitter en del på Kulturhuset og jobber, men det hadde jo vært koselig å hatt noen likesinnede å jobbe sammen med nå og da. Så blir det ikke så ensomt på skrivekontoret
My grandparents were first generation Norwegian. I supposedly was fluent when I was very young (like around four years old) leading my grandmother to tell my mother I was an "old soul." Nowadays, the only Norwegian I still know are the songs for the Lucia Fest---Santa Lucia, O du Saliga and När Juldagsmorgon Glimmar (the words I learned don't seem to be the Swedish version)..
One of these days, I'd like to relearn the language. What method would you recommend? Has anyone had any experience with things like Rosetta Stone in the Scandinavian languages?
Cool. Many from my grandfather's family settled in Minnesota where I've heard there is also a large Norwegian community.My husband is American but his grandmother was from Norway. Lots of Norwegians in Nort' Dacodah, ja, you betcha. In my mother-in-law's generation, Norwegian was the first language for a lot of folks who were born in North Dakota.
