norsk bokmål practice, total - 1h20m

general studying, vocab + grammar: ~45 mins then i spent about 35 minutes learning a bit about norwegian culture around food, typical / traditional meals, and some vegetarian / vegan options (as i'm a vegetarian of 9 yrs). i saved a vegan norske kjøttkaker med brun saus (norwegian meatballs with gravy) recipe, so hopefully i will have the means to make those and try them someday soon-ish!

i was having more fun with learning today, which i expected. i had less going on, so more energy to focus on learning <3

general improvements: overcoming some of my struggle words / phrases from the past week !

Immersion: how to immerse yourself in a language when you don’t live in that country

By someone who spends their life trying to convince themself they live in Norway

Put on background noise in your TL. Stick the radio on while you’re studying, listen to a podcast while you’re doing housework, listen to an audiobook while on the bus, whatever. Don’t worry about understanding it all - heck, you don’t even have to pay full attention. Even passively listening will improve your comprehension skills as you get used to the language’s melody (and also find yourself catching the occasional word/phrase).

Change the language of all your devices to your TL. Personally, I don’t recommend doing this until you’ve got a good grip on your basic vocab because getting a pop-up message on your phone that you don’t understand at all can be quite alarming! At least learn how to say confirm, cancel, delete, share and save.

Set your homepage to a news or webzine in your TL. I have NRK as my homepage, so whenever I open my browser I can read the headlines (and then maybe an article).

Watch the news in your TL. I highly recommend watching the news because then you get to know what issues are current in that area of the world, so then you’re learning about the culture too. (It’s also really interesting to see how world events are reported on in other countries and cultures!)

Follow people on social media who post in your TL. Not sure who to follow? News sites, TV show accounts, musicians, actors, athletes etc are always a good starting point. Also search hashtags in your TL (eg #gymnastikk #sminke #treningsglede or whatever you’re interested in)

Music. Find a playlist on spotify of your favourite genre and get listening (do the search in your TL - so for example, if you type in “norwegian rock” you may get a mixture of Norwegian and English songs by Norwegian bands, but if you type in “norsk rock” you’re more likely to get songs in Norwegian)

Video games. If you play ‘em and you have the option, change them into your target language!

Find recipes in your TL. Bonus points if they’re traditional recipes from that country because then you get to learn about the culture too! But anything that looks interesting/tasty is good.

Write lists in your TL. I write most of my shopping lists and to-do lists in Norwegian (and sometimes I post them to my blog so I can get feedback). Then, while I’m at the shop, I’ll think to myself in Norwegian: “where is the cat food? There is the cat food. Now I need soap. Where is the soap? Oh no, the soap is sold out!” Or while I’m doing my chores I’ll try to think, “now I’m washing my clothes. Next I need to clean the kitchen, and then I’ll make lunch.”

Read books. Children’s books are a good starting point if you’re a low level. Also books you’ve read in your native language, especially if you still have the original copy. (Tip: don’t get bogged down trying to translate every word you don’t know. If you can work it out from context, leave it. If you’re unsure about it and it keeps cropping up, look it up. If the sentence doesn’t make sense without it, look it up. If you wanna note down useful phrases do it, but don’t do it for every new word/phrase)

Find youtubers who create content in your TL. Again, do the search in your TL. So instead of typing “norwegian makeup videos” search for “sminkevideo norsk”

While we’re talking about youtube, try to find grammar videos in your TL, searching in your TL rather than in your native language (eg instead of searching ‘present perfect spanish’ try typing ‘el préterito perfecto español’)

Watch TV shows and movies in your TL. You can start by watching with subtitles in your native language, then move to subtitles in your TL, then eventually switch them off. (tip: watch with subtitles in your TL and then note down words/phrases that recur or words/phrases that you like. As with reading, don’t bother noting down everything you don’t know - just the odd one or two here and there that you’re like “oh hey that’s useful I wanna remember that”). You can use the Language Learning With Netflix browser extension, or google news stations in a country where your TL is spoken if you don’t know where to start.

[16.01.2018]

I’m proud of myself today! I’ve spent the last four-ish weeks since I’ve been on holidays just sitting around and watching Netflix (legit I’ve finished so many shows omg) and I finally finished Doctor Who yesterday and made the decision not to start another show! Despite not getting up untill after 1pm, today, I:

- began cleaning my room - now all the books and knick knacks etc are put away and it’s only clothes on the floor

- did two loads of laundry and hung them out

- changed the kitty litter and washed her food bowls

- read/listened to the first chapter of Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen in German

- went back and re-read the first four and a half pages, making notes and looking up every word I didn’t recognise (this took forever hence why I didn’t finish the chapter, I my vocab needs so much help aahhh, also my simple past is so b a d)

- did a whole bunch of memrise and duolingo for both German and Norwegian (like, quite a lot. 140 xp on duo and like 9000 points ish on memrise)

Now I’m exhausted, I’m going to go to sleep! Good night! 

(ps some pics of my study space today are on my langblr @languageduck)

Challenge Update Week 1

So, as some of you might’ve seen I’m doing @notglot‘s Summer Language Challenge for 8 weeks (but I’ve turned it just into the winter term 3 challenge because it’s winter and I’m working lmao) and I’m trying to learn Norwegian. I’m updating every Sunday on how I’m going!

I’ve tried a whole lot of websites etc to figure out which is going to work best for me, especially considering I’m an absolute beginner. I’ve stuck to duolingo and memrise for the most part. Others I’ve checked out are lingvist, lingq, and clozemaster. I’ve also used this Norwegian on the Web resource and the pdf from this post by @koreanbreeze. I only discovered koreanbreeze’s post yesterday but I think I’ll be using that pdf a lot as this goes on, it’s very handy.

Duolingo Norwegian Course

Level: 6

Skills completed: Basics, Basics 2, Phrases, Food, Animals, Definites, Obj. Pron., Plurals, Def. Plur., V: Present (First checkpoint passed!!)

Streak (20 XP per day goal): 10 days

Memrise Norwegian 1

Levels completed: 2 (Launchpad, I come in peace)

Words learnt (words in LTM): 49 (12)

Streak (5 min per day goal):7 days

Norwegian on the Web

I used the audio files to learn the pronunciation of the letters of the alphabet, and used the pronunciation guide to write my own pronunciation page in my notebook. Read through all of chapter 1 in the course material and grammar book.

In my notebook

I’ve written notes on pronunciation, pronouns, articles, numbers 1 - 1 000 000 000 & wrote out vocab from the first three duolingo topics (I’ve got to catch up whoops) (See pics of my notebook here)

Writing

Last but not least, every week I want to try and actually write something in Norwegian using what I’ve learned. So here goes! (If anyone spots any mistakes, please don’t hesitate to let me know!)

Hei! Jeg heter Belinda. Jeg er tjuefem år gammel. Jeg kommer fra Australia. Jeg snakker engelsk og tysk og litt norsk. Jeg har en katt. Hun heter Tori og er to år gammel. Katten er en jente. Jeg liker henne. Jeg liker å lese og å le og å sova. Jeg har en te. Jeg liker ander. Jeg er en lærer. Lærere liker bøker.

Month of languages #5 - February 2019

Italian: I finished my grammar book covering the passive voice, indirect speech, congiuntivo, condizionale and imperativo. Next month I’ll look for some exercises concerning the most difficult topics. For vocab, I finished 2nd chapter of my textbook.I almost finished the 5th part of Memrise course.  Also, my friend wants to learn Italian and I’m preparing some lessons for her

Norwegian: I did the chapters about school and education and food. I learned some vocab related to those topics, the passive voice with -s, adverbs, definite and indefinite nouns and uncountable nouns. I think that I won’t do anything new in April and just revise what I have already done.

Hungarian: Same as in Norwegian, the next month I’ll spend on revising. I did 1,5 chapter of my book, learned some vocab related to health and food. For grammar I learned some modal constructions and plural possessive suffixes.

Russian: Finished 6th chapter of my textbook related to food. For grammar I learned the accusative case, some prepositions and how to say that I like something.
