Achieving Your Norwegian Goals Starts Here! 

Velkommen til norskkurset!

This guide contains everything you need to know to get started and succeed in your Norwegian A2-C1 course. Read it carefully, and you'll be ready to go!

Your A2-C1 Course Journey

Our A2-C1 courses are designed for students who already have a basic foundation in Norwegian and are ready to become fluent. We focus on building your confidence and ability to speak in any situation. This journey is continuous and subscription-based, so you can learn at your own pace for as long as you need.

CLASS TYPES

Conversation Classes:

These are the heart of our program! You'll spend most of your time actively speaking, listening, and discussing various topics with your teacher and classmates. The goal is to build your fluency and confidence in real-life conversations.

Grammar Classes:

While focused on specific grammar points, these are still very much conversational! You'll learn grammar rules by actively using them in dialogue and practice applying them correctly in spoken Norwegian.

Writing Classes:

This is where you get personalized feedback on your written Norwegian. You'll book a writing slot on the calendar, choose a topic, submit your written text to our WhatsApp group, and then receive a personalized video correction and feedback from a native teacher.

Please join our WhatsApp group with your fellow A1 students and teachers. This is a great place to ask quick questions, share successes, update us, and get updates about classes. Just remember to check your personal messages for any important one-on-one communication.


Subscription & Payments

How It Works 

Your subscription is monthly and automatic. This ensures you get continuous access to classes and materials. 

The payment will be processed automatically each month from your start date. If a family member or company is paying for your course, they can simply use your payment link. 

Managing Your Account 

If you need a temporary break (4 to 12 weeks), you can pause your subscription. This stops charges and saves all your credits. 

If you decide to cancel, you would unfortunately lose any remaining credits and access to our course materials. We always recommend pausing if you think you might return!

Unused Credits

Your credits never expire! As long as your subscription is active, any unused credits will automatically carry over to the next month.

If you cancel your subscription, any remaining credits you have will unfortunately be lost. We don't want that to happen!

The Quick Guide to Getting Started

STEP 1: Your Free Course

If your A2 course start date is more than one week away, we encourage you to take our A1 self-study course—it's a gift from us to help you prepare even more.
If you are starting at the B1 level or higher, you can focus on the verbs you need to learn.

STEP 2: Watch the Onboarding Video

This video is a mandatory guIde to get you familiar with our course and how to use the calendar.

STEP 3: Log in to the Calendar

The calendar is your main hub for all classes! This is where you'll find everything you need: your schedule, Zoom links, and preparation materials. We'll send your login credentials in a separate message.
Having Trouble? If your calendar shows classes from other levels, don't worry—that's a common bug. Just use the links and materials on your schedule that are for your course level. If you need more help, send us a message!

STEP 4: Prepare for Your Class

Classes are conversational and active! To get the most out of every lesson, preparation is mandatory.

Find Your Materials: You'll find the preparation materials you need for your scheduled class right on your Calendar. Click on the class to view the topic, required reading, or activities.

Set Yourself Up: Go through the material before the class starts. This helps you build confidence and makes it easier to engage in the conversation!

Connecting with the Community

What to Expect in Class

Scheduling

Our A2-C1 classes are all online and conducted via Zoom, so you can join from anywhere. Your schedule is completely flexible. You have the freedom to book any class on the calendar that works for you.  If you miss a class, no worries! The class recording and notes will be available on the calendar for about 10 days after the session. Make sure you download them if you want to keep them! If you're having a hard time with your schedule, please reach out to us so we can help!

All class times are in the Norway timezone.

Booking Classes

After your first month, you will book your classes yourself! The onboarding video guide will show you how to easily do this. If a class you want is full, don't worry! We add new classes regularly to keep up with demand. Just check the calendar for other available slots. If you ever feel a class is too crowded, remember to check the calendar for other available slots with fewer students, so you have more speaking time!

Learning Pace

We know that it can feel a bit intimidating to join a class where some students have already been there for a while. Rest assured, this is an intentional part of our teaching style and one of the biggest benefits of our course! You'll find a mix of new and existing students, which is a great thing! You'll learn not just from the teacher's corrections, but also from listening to your more experienced peers as they speak. This gives you a realistic feel for natural conversation and helps you build your vocabulary and grammar faster.

Class Size

We keep our classes small (max 8 students) to ensure you get plenty of time to speak and ask questions! Our teachers always do their best to ensure everyone gets a chance to speak. If you ever feel a class is too crowded, remember to check the calendar for other available slots with fewer students, so you have more speaking time!

Evaluation

Your evaluation is scheduled, but it's not a separate test you need to prepare for or attend at a specific time. Instead, our teachers will assess your progress based on your overall performance and participation in your regular classes. So, you don't need to do anything extra on that day! Just keep attending your usual classes and participating as you normally would. Once the teachers have completed their assessment, you'll receive a detailed feedback report with your results.

Specific Learning Challenges

Nervousness

Many students feel nervous about speaking in a group, but our classes are a safe and encouraging space to practice!

Improving Skills

To improve your speaking, pronunciation, grammar, and writing, we recommend mixing conversation, grammar, and writing classes. You'll get plenty of practice and personalized feedback on all of these skills.

Dialects

If you're having difficulty understanding a teacher's dialect, please let us know so we can help you find a teacher that's a better fit for you!

Switching Levels:

If you feel the level is too high or too low, you can switch classes on the calendar at any time!
