Class structure will build on students' prior knowledge of the learning Norwegian language. If the student has learned some Norwegian during family interactions/travel, at Skogfjorden (MN) camp or in my Beginning and Intermediate I Norwegian class, they should be able to complete Intermediate Level 2 class assignments. (Please review the Intermediate Norwegian I class description to decide whether or not to enroll the student in this level). Students will interact with each other by asking questions in Norwegian. I will teach using slides, screen shares for grammar/vocab practice and some games. My teaching style differs based on what student's learn best from (visual, auditory or kinetic). Topics such as current events and typical cultural differences may also be covered via video/newspaper clips. 
Topics covered will include:
Week 1: Verb tenses: infinitive, present, past, past perfect. Banks, budgeting and saving money in daily Norwegian life.
Week 2: Conduct/culture in the workplace & school in Norway. Commands (the imperative).
Week 3: Food & typical meals in Norway; descriptive adjectives; compound words
Week 4: Conjunctions; the Norwegian State Church and other religions observed widely in Norway 
Week 5: Family traditions tied to the State Church (baptism, confirmation, weddings, etc.). Festivals and holidays on the Norwegian calendar.
Week 6: the Difference between the two official languages of Norway: nynorsk and bokmål; Idioms and slang
