Why speak Norwegian while traveling?

A land of natural and social wonders

With around 5 million inhabitants, Norway is a dream destination, with its fjords, forests, glaciers and islands which inspire the imagination of many authors and screenwriters around the world. 
Beyond these natural wonders, the country is extremely attractive to researchers thanks to its successful policies of social capitalism which have made it one of the richest and most developed nations in the world, being at the top of the HDI rankings and among the top 50 in terms of GDP. 
With embassies in 86 countries around the world, and diplomatic relations with many others, Norway is a major player in international negotiations, mainly in regard to peace and diplomatic relations.

A rich language and culture

Composed of dialects, Norwegian has as official languages ​​Bokmål and Nynorsk. Linked to the Danish occupation period, Bokmål is the language of books and of administration, being present in urban areas. Nynorsk, on the other hand, is the heir to the language of the countryside, which has not suffered so much from the influence of the Danish crown. 
Whether in one language or the other, during a visit to Norway you can immerse yourself in the works of great names of Western culture, such as the composer Edvard Grieg and the painter Edvard Munch.
So, do you dream of experiencing the dazzling landscapes of Norway, discovering the legends of the trolls or reading Ibsen's classics in their original language? Start learning Norwegian now with Loecsen!
