According to learners, 'Introduction to Norwegian 2' is a largely positive experience, offering a solid continuation from beginner stages. Students particularly commend the clear grammar explanations, especially for verbs and sentence structure. The course excels in providing practical and relevant vocabulary through engaging sections on 'life in Oslo', 'shopping', and 'job interviews'. Many found the pronunciation exercises, including r-combinations and Norwegian prosody, to be very helpful for sounding more natural.
