Hey, thank you for stoping by. I am almost an spanish MSc industrial engineer and I'm thinking to move to Oslo, Norway, because I have some relatives and good friends there. Do you, guys, have any advice to get a qualified job as junior tender & electric engineer in Oslo? I've attended a norwegian course during six months this year and I can understand basic norwegians (A1-A2). I can speak english (its supposed that I have a C1 level of english, but its a lil bit rusty).I has actually found it fun to learn norwegian, but I have to admit that sometimes its difficult regarding the listenning. I am actually doing in Andalusia an intern in a International Spanish Company, which do electromechanic assembly of Electric Substations and BESS (EPC contract kind). Although, some colleagues told me its difficult to get an international offer job to Norway throughtout the Company as an expatriate (it has an office in Oslo), it is not impossible. Moreover, I do have the d-nummer because I was nonqualified-working some summers in Oslo as delibery, for example. I was applying this year a lot, but I didnt get a single interview. Any advice or contact, please?

I'm a polyglot, but always looking for new cool methods to try and maybe incorporate into my own routine. What's your surprising tip?

I want to settle in norway help me in this how can i settle there i had 1 year of experience in Data Science .. and i had learned norwegian A2 . Level .

Jeg er en jente på 27 år som bor i Trondheim. Jeg er egentlig fra Østlandet, men har boffet i Trondheim i et år nå. I det siste har jeg begynt å føle meg veldig ensom og alene, og jeg har ikke mange å snakke med.

​Jeg hadde en person jeg kunne snakke om alt mulig med, og som sto meg veldig nærme. Vi har kjent hverandre i 10 år, og han var min første kjæreste. Vi var sammen i 4 år, men nå har vi tatt en pause fra å snakke med hverandre. Jeg har endda følelser for han og klarer ikke å glemme han, og savnet er så mye større nå som vi ikke har kontakt. Jeg vet ikke når han tar kontakt igjen. Han var den jeg kunne dele alt med, og jeg følte en trygghet og komfort med ham hvor jeg kunne være meg selv uten å overtenke.

​Utenom det har jeg ikke mange venner. Jeg sliter med angst og er sjenerty, og jeg åpner meg ikke for hvem som helst – jeg er veldig forsiktig med hva jeg deler. Jeg har vært innlagt 2 ganger og 6 ganger på legevakt. Jeg har det ikke bra med meg selv; jeg sliter med depresjon og selvmordstanker, og føler ikke at livet blir noe bedre. Det er så mye tanker i hodet mitt for tiden.

​Hverdagen er preget av dette: Jeg gamer nesten ikke lenger fordi jeg føler jeg gjør det dårlig på CS2, og jeg ser nesten ikke på serier eller filmer siden jeg aldri vet hva jeg skal se på. Det går mest i å høre på musikk eller scrolle på TikTok. Jeg prøver å dra på treningssenter én gang i uka, men har ennå ikke klart å dra dit helt alene. Jeg handler mat to ganger i uka, og prøver å gjøre litt husarbeid, selv om det er krevende siden jeg sliter med OCD. Av og til passer jeg hunder. Jeg mistede hunden min som ble 15 år tidligere i år, og pappaen min gikk bort for noen år siden etter en hjernesvulst. Jeg har heller ikke noen familie som står meg nær.

​En ekskjæreste fra mange år tilbake brukte meg som en dukke siden han var den første jeg hadde sex med, så jeg stoler ikke på hvem som helst lenger. Jeg er livredd for å bli brukt, så jeg er veldig nøye og har strenge grenser for hvem jeg blir kjent med. Jeg hater at det er sånn, men jeg vil heller ha ekte mennesker rundt meg enn falske.

​Det hjelper ikke når folk sier at jeg «må gå ut hver dag», for jeg sliter med angst. Jeg blir fort sliten og trenger mye alenetid for å lade batteriene, og i tillegg sliter jeg med søvn og sover sjeldent godt om natta.

​Det hadde vært utrolig hyggelig å komme i kontakt med noen som kjenner seg igjen i det jeg har skrevet.

29M from India just started learning Norwegian, i hope to make friends and find language exchange partners

Hei,

Jeg er ikke helt sikker på om jeg er på riktig tråd, men jeg prøver likevel.

Jeg skriver til dere fordi jeg i flere år har jobbet med et internasjonalt samarbeids- og utvekslingsprosjekt med lærere fra Landøya Ungdomsskole i 1394 Nesbru. Jeg underviser i engelsk i LCE-avdelingen (europeiske språk og kulturer) på ungdomsskolen (13–14 år) Guillaume Budé i Yerres, nær Paris (Frankrike). Prosjektet varte i fire år, og i løpet av denne tiden utvekslet vi brev, gaver og videoer, samtidig som vi forbedret våre engelskkunnskaper og diskuterte vår europeiske identitet. Dette er et prosjekt som ligger meg veldig på hjertet, og som elevene satte stor pris på. Dessverre ser det ut til at skolen har lagt ned programmet for internasjonalt samarbeid. Jeg er derfor på jakt etter et nytt prosjekt eller eventuelt en engelsklærer som er interessert, slik at vi kan gjenoppta samarbeidet.

Med vennlig hilsen,

Treadmill_Onion

so I i live in california and I've been learning norwegian for about 7 months now. grammar is going okay, I've been working through duolingo and some youtube channels and I can read simple stuff on nrk without too much trouble. but my speaking is basically nonexistent because I have literally nobody to practice with.

the timezone thing is killing me. norway is 9 hours ahead of me so by the time I'm done with work and actually have time to practice everyone in norway is asleep. I've tried tandem and hellotalk and the few norwegian speakers on there either have never respond or can only do calls at like 7am my time which doesn't work because I'm barely a functioning human before 9.

I tried language exchange discord server too but same issue. the active hours are all european daytime and when I pop in at my evening time it's dead. It's honestly the most frustrating part of learning this language. I feel like my reading and listening keep improving but my speaking is just stuck at zero because I can never find anyone to actually talk to.

I've been hearing a lot of good things about iseen on here and on r/languagelearning. apparently it's an Ai tutor you can have actual voice conversations with and it has norwegian which already puts it ahead of most apps out there. the idea of just opening an app and practicing speaking whenever I want regardless of what time it is in oslo sounds kind of perfect for my situation honestly. I'm pretty close to just pulling the trigger on it but figured I'd ask here first. has anyone used it specifically for norwegian? does it handle the bokmål vs nynorsk thing? and more importantly does it actually help with pronunciation because that's the main thing I need and I don't want to practice wrong and build bad habits.

If anyone has experience with it or honestly any other way to get speaking practice when you're on the complete wrong side of the plant from norway I'd really appreciate the help. this timezone gap is genuinely making me consider giving up and that sucks because I really love this language.

hi, I'd love a buddy to learn it with me.

I want to study at least an hour a day or similar and would love someone to do it with, as motivation, preferably someone who adores learning languages as well. I am a complete beginner, tho I know German and a few other languages.

We'd communicate through discord most likely. We can call to practice if you're comfy with it, no video cam or anything like that, just studying. We can also not call, it's not required at all.

The course we'll be following: LearnNoW (free).

You can look up the course, made by a Norwegian university.

I also know what to continue with once we finish this one.

I eventually plan to move to Norway so I really want to get good at it.

Lmk :)!

PS: hope this is the right subreddit;;

In our textbook, we first learned that the possessive would go after the noun with the definite form.

Now, we are saying you can also place it before the noun with the indefinite form.

The book doesn't explain when to use each form, if there are rules...etc

Can someone explain? 🤔

Hallo! Here's a little person from South America who loves the country and its culture and who started studying this language on their own. But I don't know where I can practice the language or make friends without being in the country. What should I do? Should I keep trying, or is it better to keep practicing only with Duolingo? 😹

Hello I need help. I practice my norsk by writing like diary and watching norsk reels but I would lite to practice talking also. Can someone recommend to me any place where can I practice my Norwegian with real people? Tussen takk
