Practical tasks

Students in the Norwegian course will have plenty of practice when learning the language, being submerged in a «mini» Norwegian society. They will interact around the clock with other Norwegian students. There are also many activities within the school year planned and held by the students.

By using music, imagination, humor, roleplay, songs, games and dialogues you increase your learning potential. For faster and more joyful learning we emphasize the oral language in class, but offer writing tasks you can do on your free time.
