Hei! Jeg heter Knut. That is Norwegian and means “Hi, my name is Knut”. I teach my mother tongue online in private lessons. The course is tailor-made for you, to suit your needs.

Interactive Norwegian classes
I teach in an interactive way, just like I if we were in the same room. It is like an advanced video call, and there are endless possibilities.
There will be a strong emphasis on oral practice during our online lessons. However, reading and writing are also very important parts of the course.
We will be able to look at any text, e-book or website together. Using the digital whiteboard, we can write texts together. We can also share short videos or do some listening exercises. The possibilities are endless, and the course will always be for you, at your level.
Video made for the textbook På vei
A textbook is of great help when learning Norwegian as a foreign language. Using an e-book, the teacher and the student can look at the same page together and share written comments. Do you prefer to use a printed book? No problem at all! A printed book can also easily be combined with online exercises and other online resources.
I usually work with textbooks from the editor Cappelen Damm. They are available in both printed and electronic versions, and they cover all levels up to B2. Are you a beginner in Norwegian, or almost a beginner? At level A1 and A2, I usually work with På vei. For a faster progress (A1 + A2), we can also work with Norsk på 1-2-3 from Cappelen Damm or the online course NoW from NTNU.
Did you already reach a higher level? For a level B1 course, I often use Stein på stein, and at level B2, Her på berget. The textbooks from Cappelen Damm include numerous online exercises and other resources, like videos.
Supplementary online resources
The course is organized for you, at your level, and it is adapted to your needs. As a customer, you will also have access to extra online resources. They provide you with supplementary explanations to the textbooks, including translations. The extra resources on the customer pages make it possible to follow the lessons in a more autonomous way.
During the lessons, we will spend time to help you master Norwegian pronunciation. However, you can also exercise between the lessons. The online resources provide you with explanations, sound files and videos that can help you more easily master the sounds of the language. Below, you see a video where I explain the Norwegian alphabet. However, as a customer, you will have access to a lot more resources.
