Family – the one topic that’s equally great for heartwarming chats and awkward small talk. In this episode of Norgebror, Preben Karlsen walks you through all the must-know Norwegian family words.
You’ll learn how to casually mention your siblings ask about someone’s family, and learn some grammar while you’re doing it.
No grammar lectures, no boring lists – just the kind of natural, conversational Norwegian you’d actually use when someone whips out their phone to show you 300 vacation photos of their kids.
