What people are saying

importantly clearly laid out

I found this course really enjoyable and more importantly clearly laid out, which is I guess helped by the platform, FutureLearn.

where learners could chat

Built around the activities of a group of foreign students at Oslo university, each section started with a couple of videos with dialogue presenting new vocabulary and grammar, followed by explanations of the grammar introduced, language exercises, a video demonstrating pronunciation of particular letters, and finally a "chatbot" where learners could chat - supposedly with one or other of the students featured in the course, but in fact with a program which generated more or less relevant replies to what you said to it.

basis for anyone wanting

I think the course provides a good basis for anyone wanting to learn Norwegian: if you don't take it all in at once, you can go back and consult it later.

bit daunting for absolute

My sole caveat is that it may be a bit daunting for absolute beginners: I'd already started learning Norwegian with another course, which helped, and clearly quite a lot of the other learners were either foreigners living in Norway or at least people with some knowledge of the language.

my sole caveat

chat - supposedly

either foreigners living

neat little checkbox

It was very clear what we were supposed to do and in which order, with a neat little checkbox at the end of each section.

refresher than from-scratch

I actually completed the course in just over a week, allocating just over an hour per "day" because I was using it more as a refresher than from-scratch, and the only thing I would want more is that they extend the scope and length of the course.

video demonstrating pronunciation
