Short stories in Norwegian: Levels A2 – B2

If you want to improve your Norwegian skills, and are currently at levels A2 – B2 or above, this book may provide a fun learning experience for you!

This language learners ebook and accompanying audiobook aim to provide intermediate learners of Norwegian with a tool to practice their writing.

The book may be said to consist primarily of two components: the selected texts, which are short essays and stories on a given topic, and simple exercises derived from those texts. All the essays are written by a single learner over the span of around one year.

This is not a traditional language textbook, and as such will not contain any systematic representations of grammar or vocabulary beyond what is directly relevant to the sample texts. Since the texts were compiled with intermediate to advanced learners in mind, the reader is assumed to have a corresponding level of familiarity with Norwegian grammar and vocabulary.

Some chapters of the audiobook are read by the Norwegian learner who wrote the stories/essays (who is not a native speaker of Norwegian), and some other chapters are read by the Norwegian co-editor.
