I'm losing it, anybody here is a teacher or student in linguistic or languages?[views:1561][posts:15]_____________________________________________ [Feb 2,2006 9:12am - armageddanne i Oslo ""] So this is the deal: I have been learning Norwegian now for 5 months, by myself, with books and internet based programs. I am not allowed to free classes here cause I'm part of the EEU and these programs are only for refugees and other immigrants (dont get me started) and I cant afford paying classes yet. The problem is that I dont have some kind of program that I could follow to go forward. I basically need some kind of "school regularity" if I can call it that way. Ok this is a long shot but I dont know, maybe Carina you can help? I'm trying to remember the crap at school when I was learning English and German but this is so fucking long time ago (ok, I'm not that old). Help...please...my brain is melting |

| _____________________________________________ [Feb 2,2006 9:52am - armageddanne i Oslo ""] I wouldnt expect any less from you Joe. But yeah, I guess I'm just losing patience in this thing, which unfortunately I need a lot. I actually speak with people at the bar when I'm drunk...it can be very entertaining...obviously. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2006 11:13am - anonymous ""] seriously? spend less time studying and more time talking to people who speak the language. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 2,2006 11:23am - HailTheLeaf ""] I took French, but my teacher was an asshole so I didn't pick it up very well...I probably know more Spanish at this point... |
| ______________________________________________ [Feb 2,2006 11:44am - armageddanne i Oslo ""] Well, yeah I can talk and read and understand a bit, unfortunately people just dont articulate when they speak between them and if I try to understand...well I'm not even close. Plus they want to practice their English and I just wanna speak Norwegian...it's a bit confusing. I just need to get in a routine of some sort I guess. The learning process is the same for any language. I did a bit of research today on google and I guess I will try to build a schedule for next week. |

| __________________________________ [Feb 2,2006 12:55pm - succubus ""] I have a friend fomr Norway but he moved to Switzerland...and so the closest would be another friend in Sweden...haven't spoken to either in about a year though...do you need info about schooling? |

So, you majored in some kind of language I assume. But at the end I just lost it. I've been studying straight for 2 weeks now, and I just dont see any progress but as I said before I lost it. I'll figure shit out, just need some patience. I'll go out for a few beers tonight so we'll see. |

Eller det er ikke bokmål, jeg lærer bokmål. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 2,2006 3:13pm - Yeti ""] damnit i wish i could respond. i myself have been attempting to learn norwegian. i love how the language flows so smoothly but its so commanding. ei er det sviktende soken etter englemakt |
| _____________________________ [Feb 2,2006 4:51pm - Mary ""] I have friends in Stavanger. I don't know how that's any help. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 2,2006 9:07pm - pam nli ""] I don't even know how to make all those wacky letters. Wish I could help. My Norwegian editor told me once that it was one of the most difficult languages to learn...so if you can ask where the bathroom is in Norwegian, Anne, I am impressed! haha I got a B in French last semester. But I mostly cheated. |
