In this video you will learn how to greet someone, introduce yourself, ask how someone is doing, how to respond to such an enquiry, and how to say goodbye! That was a mouthful. In other words you will learn a lot in this one!

I've always been fascinated with Scandinavian countries and now that I've just come back to my home country (Italy) I missed those amazing places so much. People were well mannered indeed and everything seemed so well cared after! I liked Norway the best because of its diverse landscape and I decided to learn the language to come back again and be able to converse freely with natives. Thanks for making this video series!
I always coming back here as I couldnt find any better teacher for Norwegian!😃
Finally i got this channel ✨ I really interested learn Norway language. Greeting from Indonesia 🇮🇩

As a Norwegian, I really wanna shed light on something; learning variations of words is not at all important! Although, if there’s a slang version of it (like “halla”, or “hva skjer’a?”) and you plan on learning it, I’d recommend learning at least one of the normal words.
Thank you
The bonus word reminds me to the Norwegian word for an Aed. Hjetestarter.

These lessons, though simple, are teaching you one of the dialects in Norway, of which there are several. Usually though, you will not be too lost if you speak the eastern Norwegian dialect, as that permeates almost all national television and radio, so all will understand it. These lessons are mainly, in that dialect.

Can you teach me how to pronounce the final sound in Nowegian, sometimes i hear you speak it, but sometimes don’t. For example , Takk For Sist, I can hear your “t” sound in sist, but in “hvordan går det”, I don’t hear it.

I'm not sure, but I think that when a the "t" is at the end of a word and there's an "e" right before it, you don't pronounce it.
3:55 Would it be correct to say "Navnet mitt er..." instead of "mitt navn er..."? From a grammatical point of view I think it is the same, but maybe the one that is reported is more natural in the spoken language?

Adjø is found in other languages like Spanish (but they use it to simply say bye) or French (where they only use it to say goodbye if they won't ever see the person again; adieu, à Dieu, to God, as in they'll see each other after death)
People use "Hei" as a way to say goodbye because in french you say "salut" as in "hi" and to say bye in french you can also say "salut"
