5.0 out of 5 stars Learn Norwegian the fun way, August 29, 2002

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Norwegian - Beginning Level (CD-ROM)

I am a Scot living in Australia who married a Norwegian. I wanted to learn some Norwegian ready for when I make my first visit to Norway. So the place to start was the 'Talk Now! Norwegian' CD which I thought it might be a fun way to learn some basic Norwegian, and it was.
I found the CD easy to install on my computer and easy to work through the different lessons, covering first words, food, phrases, time etc. The aim is to make 100% on each of the quizzes that are with the lessons, so far I have not quite reached that point, just missing the odd question or two in a couple of the quizzes. You can print the picture dictionaries as a study aid, you can also print your score award sheets.
I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn language basics. Other products from the Eurotalk company are 'World Talk' which is at the intermediate level, and 'Vocabulary Builder' which is for children 3 - 12years (but might be also be helpful for some of the bigger kids too).
Enjoy.

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Norwegian - Beginning Level (CD-ROM)

This CD-ROM provides an interactive format in which to begin to learn Norwegian with the help of your computer. The instruction is pitched at the absolute beginners level and covers some basic vocabulary and useful phases. The instruction typically links a Norwegian word or phrase with its pronounciation in Norwegian and with an English translation. Pictures and graphics are provided to reinforce the word or phrase. The various segments of instruction include quizes to test comprehension. The format is likely to be very user-friendly for children; adults may outrun the instruction fairly quickly.

This product is likely to be most useful for those with no background at all in the Norwegian language.

This review is from: Talk Now! Learn Norwegian - Beginning Level (CD-ROM)

I'm a person that loves learning new languages and with a couple of my friends being Norwegian, I thought I would give it a go. I use to know some basic Norwegian when I was younger, but over time, I forgot most of them. My Norwegian friend travelled back to Norway over Christmas and came back with this "Talk Now! Learn Norwegian" course for me.

After installing everything, at first I thought, it looked like it was for kids, but this is extremely entertaining and teaches you the basics of numbers, clock times, objects, food, countries etc. You won't get bored with the games you play. Even though you're enjoying yourself, your required to think, with the quizzes they give you at the end of each section.

I found this rather enjoyable and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about the very basic Norwegian. Hey!! Even your children can join in on the fun too! It's excellent!!
