Pimsleur Norwegian Basic Course - Level 1 Lessons 1-10 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Norwegian with Pimsleur Language Programs

Love it

I am really sold on this course as a way to learn Norwegian. I used the phrases on a trip recently with no hesitation because of all the practice out loud you do. And what is learnt is useful. It is much better than smoking for retention but failing is complementary for vocabulary.Great way to learn a language during a car commute and making the time fly by.

I practiced this every weekend before I left for my trip. I even used some of it and got a nice comment from a lady when I asked her a question. Most people in Norway can communicate in English, so in a way it was disappointing in not being able to use it more.

This is a great series of CDs that gives one the basics needed to survive, really, to respect the country. English is spoken throughout the country, so, is the CD set "really" needed? No....but it's fun to be able to say a few things in the Norwegian language.

I just love the Pimsleur approach. It's great for confidence building and you get going really quickly. Hardly seems like any time since I started and already I'm feeling confident that I'll be able to manage on my holiday in Norway. It's just as good as the other great language products I've used from Pimsleur in the past...I can see why I keep coming back for new languages.
