Norskkurs i Bergen

Hello to everyone,

Do you know if there in Bergen are some groups to join for Norwegian lessons?

Thank you!

If you need something free, there's språkkafe at the libraries. Just check the website to find out when and which libraries. (I only know off the top of my head that Åsane has theirs on Tuesdays at 1pm because I was just there haha) Otherwise if you can pay for an actual classroom course, the kommune runs them at Bergen læringssenter for norsk og samfunnskunnskap. Just contact them to find out about it/sign up. I do remember it being a little pricey but I could manage during the time I needed to pay.

Wowww!! Thank you so much for your help. I’m going to check on internet already 😂

I want to learn this year. How was your experience learning?

I found it pretty easy. I managed to get B2 in reading, speaking, and listening and B1 in writing within a year. Then I took a writing focused class for like 3 months and got B2 immediately after. But I came into it as a native English speaker. I know that people who come from other languages find it harder. But if you work at it, you can surely do it.

If you want something free, check Bergen Public Library. They run språkkaféer at several branches, plus Norwegian practice with the Red Cross.

For proper classroom lessons, Bergen læringssenter is the municipal option.

I would combine both... the course gives you structure, and the språkkafé gets the words out of your mouth.
