Through in depth comparative language studies - and wide teaching experience from European universities - I understand how languages work, and more importantly, how to acquire them. Through teaching Norwegian at university level for years I am able to design a step-by-step language program that will benefit rapid language acquisition and comprehensive learning. My teaching style is dialogical, warm and welcoming. I want you to feel at ease with the process and I want us to explore Norwegian language together.
