NOR-INTRO student

Exchange student learning Norwegian

Georg Benger studies cultural studies at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. In the autumn 2020 he was an Erasmus student at UiB and attended NOR-INTRO, Short Introductory Course in Norwegian Language.

Hovedinnhold

Bergen has inspired me mainly because of the scandinavian culture, the Norwegian language and the nature surroundings.

Why did you choose Bergen and NOR-INTRO?

Bergen has inspired me mainly because of the Scandinavian culture, the Norwegian language and the nature surroundings. The study program at UiB offered a vast range of courses that attracted me, especially in directions of Scandinavian area studies.

I love speaking languages and I want to learn Norwegian in preparation for my studies this year, which is Scandinavian studies. 3 months before the start of the fall term, I started to learn Norwegian on my own to be well prepared.

 

What did you think about the course?

The course in Bergen offered me a fantastic overview of certain basic comprehension in grammar and vocabulary. I could use the knowledge I already had as a foundation, and improve my skills through speaking. Despite the fact that we had to handle the situation with online seminars, I never had the feeling of not being supported by the teacher. Furthermore, I had a lot of contact with my fellow students. We had a good time and I suppose and hope that everybody felt the same.

I can absolutely recommend this course to everyone. The course leads you through a lot of topics and learning success comes fast with the right motivation. I have already started to attend a Norwegian course in Germany. I still have contact with Norwegian friends that I speak to more or less on a weekly basis.

 

Any last advice for our future NOR-INTRO students?

It is not necessary to learn Norwegian before the course, so one does not need any experience.
