Did you know? Norwegian is unique: it has two official written forms, Bokmål (used by 90% of Norwegians) and Nynorsk (10%). This duality is unique in the world. Norway is the world's 2nd-largest natural gas exporter and owns the largest sovereign wealth fund on the planet (~$1.5 trillion). A linguistic curiosity: Norwegian Bokmål is often described as 'Danish that Norwegians pronounce like Swedish'. The Viking sagas, written in Old Norse, the ancestor of Norwegian, have influenced English: 'ski', 'fjord', 'troll', 'saga' all come from Norwegian.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about learning Norwegian

Is Norwegian really the easiest Scandinavian language to learn?

That's what linguists and learners say. Norwegian Bokmål has very regular grammar, phonetic pronunciation (you read it as it's written), and is the ideal entry point into Scandinavia. Once Norwegian is mastered, Swedish and Danish become far more accessible through mutual intelligibility.

What's the difference between Bokmål and Nynorsk?

Bokmål ('book language') is used by about 90% of Norwegians and is the form taught in our classes. Nynorsk ('new Norwegian') was created in the 19th century to represent rural dialects. Both are official and taught in schools, but in everyday life, in Oslo and the major cities, Bokmål strongly dominates.

Does Norway offer good professional opportunities?

Norway has one of the highest average salaries in Europe. Sectors with high demand for workers include maritime, oil and gas (equipment, engineering), tech (Oslo is a Nordic startup hub), and healthcare. Speaking Norwegian is essential to integrate and advance, English is enough in the city but not for permanent residency.

Is Norwegian useful for understanding other languages?

Absolutely. Norwegian is the Scandinavian language that sits closest to the middle between Danish and Swedish. With Norwegian, you can read Swedish and Danish without much difficulty, and understand speakers with a bit of practice. The three languages form a continuum that linguists call 'skandinavisk', a macro-language with 20 million speakers.

How long does it take to learn Norwegian?

Norwegian is in Category 1 of the FSI, one of the easiest languages for English speakers (around 600 hours). For a French speaker, expect 6 to 9 months with 2 lessons per week to reach B1–B2. The simple grammar and clear pronunciation offset the novelty of the Scandinavian vocabulary.

How much do Norwegian courses cost on Targumi?

Targumi offers 3 plans: quarterly, yearly, and lifetime access. All plans include live small-group classes with native teachers, interactive lessons, and the community. See full pricing on the pricing page.

Are the Norwegian courses online or in person?

100% online. Live classes happen twice a week in small groups via Google Meet. You can join from anywhere in the world. The mobile and web app stay accessible 24/7 for interactive lessons.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Targumi offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans. If you are not satisfied, just email [email protected] for a full refund.

Verified learner testimonials.

“Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.”

CamilleVerified purchase

“What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.”

DamienVerified purchase

“Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.”

SorayaVerified purchase

“Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.”

AntoineVerified purchase

“The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.”
