Norwegian Grammar Course A2 – B2
About Course
This Norwegian grammar covers what is needed to pass formal Norwegian language tests from A2 to B2/C1 level.
This is the perfect companion to your online Norwegian courses. For A1 students it might be a little difficult since the spoken language in the videos are in Norwegian. Any student from A2 and upward will understand the spoken language in the videos.
The course starts with the very basic grammars and covers more advanced topics as the student progresses.
After each section there are links to exercises connected to the subject taught. There are also links to other external resources covering the same subject. This is useful in case you need the subject explained in a slightly different manner. This is also good for repetition of the subjects.
My Students Thoughts
Henning is a great teacher! He has many different materials to keep the learning process interesting and speaks very clearly and understandable both in English and Norwegian. If you want to learn Norwegian I would highly recommend taking his class.
During this first lesson, I had the opportunity to speak norwegian for the first time. The teacher has been patient and he encouraged me a lot. He sent me a link to a book to improve my grammar. He also agreed to answer my specific questions and to work on a text I wrote here, in the "Italki notebook". I really appreciated our exchange. Thank you.
