Norwegian Language Schools in Norway

Ahh, Norway. Where a knighted penguin dives into a sea once sailed by the vikings, the midnight sun shines through the night, and modern day socialism is arguably at its best. If you want to learn a Scandinavian language, Norwegian is the best place to start, and Norway is the best place to put your skills in action. While the people aren’t notoriously the come-into-my-open-arms type, the friendships you’ll form will give you a personal look into a culture quite different than your own — and a huge boost to your language skills. Discover hygge as you learn Norwegian in Norway!

No matter where you choose to study in Norway, nature will be just a step (or more likely, ski) away. The country is known for its majestic fjords— narrow seas between cliffs or mountains— and the northern lights, but it’s with the people you’ll form the most lasting bonds. Important to remember throughout the country: dialects. Even people living just a kilometer down the road from each other might speak in entertainingly different ways!

The capital, Oslo, is the most-populated city in Norway, but two-thirds of it are still forests, parks, and green spaces. Hiking and biking are popular ways to let off steam after a grueling day of study, and a great way to have fun with your new international friends. The city may have one of the highest costs of living in the world, but the standard of living is right up there too. You’ll be able to dine out, go to concerts, and otherwise enjoy Scandinavian life in this bustling metropolis.

Bergen is Norway’s second largest city, and is known alternately as the “Gateway to the Fjords” and “the city of seven mountains” for its UNESCO ranked western harbor and stunning mountain landscape. It’s a great place to be an international student; there are tons of festivals to fill students’ free time and a number of opportunities to attend Norwegian classes in Norway and stay with families.

Northern Norway has its own offerings, even as far North as the Arctic Circle. One of the best places to see the Northern lights is in Tromsø, a city with a highly skilled population and numerous research institutions, including Tromsø University. Trondheim is a history-lover’s paradise, as it was the nation’s capital during the Viking Age and a religious center in the Middle Ages. It is still home of the northernmost Medieval cathedral in the world, and it offers many opportunities to explore Norway’s past.
