What's included

12 live meetings
11 in-class hours
Homework
1-2 hours per week. Students will have between 45 minutes to 2 hours of homework between classes on the Ny i Norge website and by practicing words/prounciation and other concepts learned in class. I highly suggest students watch www.nrk.no/tv to see the May 17th celebrations, and find any learner-frendly (age appropriate) Norwegian movies on Netflix, in order to get exposure to hearing the language being spoken outside of class.

Class Experience

Students will learn the basics of the Norwegian language and culture. Topics covered will be:
Lesson 1: Greetings and Norwegian letters/sounds
Lesson 2: Question words/word order
Lesson 3: Norwegian Geography
Lesson 4: Family and Subject Pronouns
Lesson 5: Commonly used Nouns & the Possessive
Lesson 6:  Numbers, months & days
Lesson 7: More Numbers, Culture about Shopping & Prices
Lesson 8: Verbs, typical Norwegian food, how to express the negative
Lesson 9: More verbs, Commonly used Nouns, Word Order
Lesson 10: Norwegian media, movies and social life. 
Lesson 11: Road/Street Signs, Demonstrative Pronouns
Lesson 12: The Weather, Colors and Adjectives
Students will interact with each other via video chat. I will teach using examples on a whiteboard, screen sharing, sharing my experiences and by showing realia. My teaching style is kinestic and I use Total Physical Response (TPR) gestures a lot in my teaching. I encourage interaction from students on the slides, during games, and via discussion. No prior knowledge of the Norwegian language is necessary.
