Je studere norsk fordi:

• jeg elsker norsk kultur og tradisjoner
• jeg elsker Black Metal
• jeg elsker øl, og vil jeg gjerne dra til Kornølfestivalen i Hornindal. Halv konferanser er på engelsk, men halv konferanser er på norsk og ønsker jeg forstå alle.

I study Norwegian because:

• I love Norwegian culture and traditions
• I love black metal
• I love beer and I want to go to Kornølfestivalen in Hornindal. Half the conferences are in English and half in Norwegian, and I want to understand it all.

Also, I find it quite hard as there are no native Norwegian speakers around me. I spent a year on Duolingo but stopped because fuck Duolingo and I spent a lot of time learning obscure concepts busy still can’t count up to ten. I’m starting again with a couple of Anki decks. We’ll see.
