Ready to move beyond "hei" and "takk"? In this episode of Norgebror, Preben Karlsen makes Norwegian sentences actually make sense. We’ll keep it simple: a few handy verbs, some natural word order tricks, and before you know it—you’ll be stringing together real phrases and talking about breakfast.

No textbook fluff, just the bare essentials to help you start speaking properly. Because let’s be real—you didn’t sign up to study a language, you signed up to use it.
