Look, we’ve all been there – you’ve memorised "Jeg liker..." and "Jeg heter...", but the second a Norwegian asks you a real question, your brain blue-screens. In this episode, Preben Karlsen shows you how to hack the system by recycling simple sentence structures to sound way more confident than you actually are.
It’s like linguistic LEGO – snap a few pre-built pieces together, and suddenly you’re having actual opinions and conversations instead of just staring nervously.
Norgebror: Because fluency isn’t about knowing everything – it’s about pretending convincingly.
