🎟 How expensive is it to learn Norwegian and how much should Norwegian tutors ask?
For university and college courses you can estimate Norwegian course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of fifty or so instruction hours each semester. Language academies and private Norwegian tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the better priced Norwegian tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 32 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, experience and student demand.

When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research the details in advance. With personal Norwegian tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Norwegian so difficult and are there ways to learn it more effectively?
Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Norwegian. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Norwegian fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand most phrases, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Norwegian. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Norwegian tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Norwegian?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Norwegian will require at least 600 hours of dedication. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of Norwegian or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, try typing 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.
🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Norwegian teacher?
In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of verified Norwegian tutors with video profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.
🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?
Colleges usually run classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
