FIRMANORSK contains several different online Norwegian courses at level A1 and A2, and it is essential to start out with the course that´s right for you. Here´s our advice about which courses to choose:
FIRMANORSK includes Norwegian courses on the following two levels:
A1 (beginner)
A2 (lower intermediate level)
If you don´t know any Norwegian at all, or only know a little bit of Norwegian, you should start off with a course on level A1.
If you know quite a bit of Norwegian already, you can start off with a course on level A2.
Below, you can find a brief description of the courses that are included in FIRMANORSK:
These are our most comprehensive courses on level A1 and A2, and it is therefore the courses that we recommend most participants to start with.
These courses are bilingual: Norwegian and English.
These are courses that you can use to review what you have learned on level A1 or A2. If you have learned Norwegian quite well on either level A1 or A2, you can use these courses to review and reinforce what you have already learned.
These courses are only in Norwegian.
These courses contain a number of brief lessons about various topics on level A1 or A2.
If you have completed one of the A1 courses above, you may want to study through this course to learn more Norwegian on level A1.
If you have completed one of the A2 courses above, you may want to study through this course to learn more Norwegian on level A2.
These courses are only in Norwegian.
Please note: Whereas for the courses above, the course materiel is included inside the course system, the "Temaer (A1/A2)" courses require you to click on links to access the course material for each lesson outside of the course system.
Not sure which course is most suitable for you? No worries - since all of the courses above are included in FIRMANORSK, you can just start out with one of the courses, and then freely switch to any of the other courses if you don´t find the first course to be suitable for you.
If you have read the instructions above, you are now ready to start learning Norwegian!
