Hello! Here is a video of me trying to speak Norwegian. While I technically first started learning Norwegian last December I only started actively studying a few months ago. I traveled to Norway and stayed in Trondheim and Oslo for two and a half months from August to mid-October. I loved it and hope to go back soon! Below is an English translation: Hi, my name is Alex. I am an American and will try to speak Norwegian. I have studied Norwegian for one year and have recently come back from a 2 and half month trip to Norway. I thought to write a travel blog, but I was too lazy and never started it. But now that I am back in New York again I have finally started this video blog to talk about my experiences and to document my progress with learning the Norwegian language. Why in the world did I decide to study Norwegian? That will be a theme for another video. But after my trip I decided to apply to study there. I withdrew from an American college and have spent the past few years self studying and taking online classes, but now I wish to continue to study at an institution again. If I will study at a Norwegian school I have to take the Bergens Test first. But learning a language takes a long time and a lot of energy so I hope to be inspired to study more. I hope Norwegians can help me with my pronunciation and grammar by giving feedback, and perhaps some people would like to help me improve my conversational skills as well. I hope to meet others who are also studying Norwegian, foreigners and international students in Norway, Norwegians in the US, and anyone would like to talk about Norway! I was like to meet new people and make friends. That was it for now, thank you for watching! See ya!
