Jeg vil gjerne...lære norsk

Apparently, "Jeg vil gjerne" is quite common in Norwegian ("I would like to...")

So, imagine, these are the exercises I am doing lately...

Jeg lære norsk. Jeg vil gjerne bo i Norge
(I study Norwegian. I would like to live in Norway)
Jeg er student. Jeg studerer.  Jeg vil gjerne bli lærer. Jeg vil gjerne bli lærer på en stor skole i Norge.
(I am a student. I study. I would like to become a teacher. I would like to become a teacher at a big school in Norway)

That sort of thing.

Here are some words...



I am listening Norwegian every day in the radio. It is cool but also terribly frustrating: I cannot understand.

I thought I would make you listen to it a bit.

Here is a video so that you can listen to Norwegian!

You might recognize the interviewee. He is the former the singer from Ah-ha!; remember "Take on Me" from the 1980s?  I was very surprised at how little he has changed. (And I must confess that all these years I had thought he was British!)
