| Correction - I am going to add a pronunciation correction Saturday Oct 09 09:51pm PST According to the pronunciation guide used by Norword, the following section: [quote]PRONUNCIATION: (GOO DAHG / MOHRN /HAI! YAI HEH-TER MAH-RIT. VAH HEH-TER DO?)[/quote] Should correctly be written: PRONUNCIATION: (GOO DAHG / MOHRN /HAI! YAI HEH-TER MAH-RIT. VAH HEH-TER DEW?) The section: [quote]WORD LIST: du (DO / you) like (LEE-KEH / like)[/quote] Should correctly be written: WORD LIST: du (DEW / you) like (LEE-KEH / like) | |

| - This is an excellent resource for anyone learning Norwegian. It starts you off with one or two sentences and builds up from there, also giving you grammar and a little about culture, recommended reading, writing excerises etc. This program is not to be missed!! Mange takk til Nancy Aarsvold og Louis Janus for listen!! | |
