Just started my Norsk journey on Duolingo 🙌🏽

Thanks Lindsay! I was really hoping you'd mention the bridge language between the other two thing (and you did!) It is absolutely a thing: Norwegians understand Swedes basically 100%, and Danes about 90%, AND (here's the kicker) it's also the closest to Icelandic. One clear example is that possessive pronouns come after the object, e.g. "Dotter min" whereas Danish and Swedish would be "my daughter" just like English. So Norwegian would be a great launching pad for any of the other 3 (probably Faroese too).
Also, here's a PRO tip that I have picked up in 3 years of Swedish:
Speak full Swedish with Swedish accent to Norwegians, and they'll think you're Swedish and you'll have a lovely conversation. BUT, to Swedes, throw Norwegian intonation and vocab in there, and THEY will think you're Norwegian and again, you'll have a lovely conversation and they'll never know that you're not legit (which means they'll never resort to English). De går veldigt bra!

Great video! I am learning Norwegian using both Duo & Babbel. Parents emigrated from Norway but did not teach us 4 children their native language. What a shame. I am determined to learn it in this lifetime.

I'm a native Norwegian, living around Bergen. Imo the language isn't "too" needed to learn if you ever plan to travel to Norway as "Everyone" under the age of like 50 speaks English.

If you know Norwegian you can understand swedes. And if you know swedish you can understand Norwegians.

Jeg laerer norsk siden januar (322 dager sier Duo). And although it's from english, which isn't my mother tongue making it sometimes harder for me, the similarities between the two languages simplifies the learning process a lot! I'm just taking the new english words as a free extra...
I just found your video while looking for some videos in Norsk and with subtitles to improve my oral comprehension... if you have any video to share on that matter i would be pleased.
Takk for videoen din ;)

I'd love to give Norwegian a try. I've been watching Vikings from History channel and they speak Old Norse a lot of times (besides Latin, Old French, Old Arabic, Old English and Modern English). They have a real fascinating culture. Besides that, learning Norwegian (specially a dialect close to Oslo) makes super easy to learn Danish and Swedish. Thanks for the video! #GreetingsfromBrazil

I have been considering starting the Norwegian Duolingo tree for awhile I love Scandinavian bands who also sing in Scandinavian languages and would like to visit Norway. But I am heavily put off by the fact 90% of Norwegians are fluent in English. And I want to stay dedicated to Spanish until I Can understand it

You did not mention one of the most important (if not the most important) reason: the variety and flexibility of the Norwegian languages. 2 official standards (Bokmal = Danish spoken as Swedish :) & Nynorsk = new Norwegian which is like a common ground of all the ways the language is spoken all over the country, mainly the West coast). And also many many amazing local dialects, like Bergensk (From the area around Bergen) and Troendersk (from the area around Troendheim).

Nice video, but let's no go making out Norwegian shouldn't take you TOO long to understand. I started learning Norwegian in 2007, and although I'm pretty much fluent, I still to this day have trouble with Norwegian regional "dialekter". This is the real challenge with Norwegian, not learning the words and grammar.
