🤷 How long does it take to learn Norwegian?
Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Norwegian will take at least 600 hours of practice. The amount of time can differ quite a bit depending on your current level of Norwegian or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Norwegian out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Norwegian classes online.
🤳 Can I choose my own Norwegian coach?
In learning centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, always! The largest selection of verified Norwegian tutors with extensive profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
