Re: Accents

Fun fact, in Norway where we live, the people here think that we're from the USA when we speak Norwegian with some English vocabulary in it. It is the English that make them think that we're from the USA? That is because the USA is the bigger country that speaks English. It is why we UK people have...

Re: Is anyone else trying to learn a language?

It's 5 weeks now, that we're living in Norway. I got a new job starting the 1st of August as a truck driver. Glad they want English as their main language, and any Scandinavian language as a secondary language. But hey, I'll be learning Norsk anyhow, living in Norway. Now that I've got a job, the No...

Re: Is anyone else trying to learn a language?

Please, I'd like a cup tea sir.

4 uker nå, og det går ganske bra å lese norsk. Opptatt av å søke jobb.

4 weeks now, and reading Norwegian is going well. Searching for a job now.

In Dutch: 4 weken nu, en het lezen van Noors gaat redelijk goed. Druk bezig met zoeken naar werk.

Re: When you're asked why do you wear skirts?

The first time someone asked why was in Rotterdam. I was wearing a Unaligned Skirt from Skirtcraft and I was visiting the local market when a woman asked me why I was wearing a skirt. I told her why not. I liked wearing skirts a couple of weeks by then. I was still in the closet so to say, but not ...

Re: Weather in your location ?

Divided over two seasons, namely a white and a green season.
In other words, winter and summer.
Typical Norwegian weather

Right now in the Netherlands: light freeze this morning, but it will be a somewhat chilly dry day with some sunshine

Re: Is anyone else trying to learn a language?

I'm learning Norwegian because we will emigrate to Norway in a couple of months. I started learning Danish 30 years ago and it took me about four years to become something like fluent. It's an easy language for a native English speaker. Danish is very similar to Norwegian, especially in its written...
