@Claire2k So how did you end up in Australia?

@Claire2k Norwegian is really easy. Lots of similar words or at least words with some common etymology, even more if you speak German. Very simple grammar, fewer tenses than English, no complicated case structure (not like German).
But it takes years to learn it because Norwegians speak such good English, at least in the areas around Oslo. For a poor, and lazy, language student like me it was difficult especially as I worked in an export oriented company where English was heavily used. It wasn't until I visited more outlying areas that I really had to use Norwegian because the people around me were as poor at English as I was in Norwegian; if I wanted a beer or a pizza I had to ask in Norwegian, that really gives you an incentive to get over your shyness!
