I'm dying to learn Norwegian properly!
(or at least somewhat properly)
I guess you could start with the alphabet/pronunciation?
And then, like, basic greetings, introducing yourself, etc.
Then maybe verb conjugation!

allright, I'll start writing stuff tomorrow! I can't today, I got a french test at school tomorrow, and I gotta practice... But just remenber, the french alfabeth, and the norwegian sound almost the same, and norwegian got three more letters: Æ, Ø and Å! they are the three last letters in the alphabeth!
Well, just take another look in this thread tomorrow, I've probably posted something by the evening! mrgreen

Looks like I got some time after all. I'll start with pronouncing the alphabeth! It sounds a bit like french, just so you know!
A - a
B - bé
C - cé
D - dé
E - e
F - effe
G - gé
H - hå
I - i (pronounced like E in english)
J - jé
K - kå
L - elle
M - emme
N - enne
O - o
P - pé
Q - qu
R - erre
S - esse
T - té
U - u
V - vé
W - double vé
X - eks
Y - y (like in you) or the german version: Ü
Z - sett
Æ - Ant (the english version)
Ø - Ö like in the german alphabeth. (Mötely Crüe)
Å - Born
and we almost never use C, Q, X and Z

And just a bit about norwegian.
It is similar to swedish and danish, and it is sort of a new language. Norway had this big fight about wether to keep talking danish or to turn the danish to something more norwegian (Some time ago, something around a hundered years ago or so... I really can't remember). and then we ended up with to different types of norwegian (of those written, we got alot of dialects!!): bokmål (what I'm teaching you now) and sidemål. If you come to Oslo, then you can hear a lot of people talking bokmål. it's in the "country side" that they talk sidemål. (Also called nynorsk, or newnorwegian if I translate it.)

Quote: See you later - Ser deg senere nei, det er "Vi ses" eller "Ha Det" (godt eller bra) That depends on who's the translater. some will translate it like I did (and there is some of us!!) and some translate it like you. It depends on the dialect. Quote: Thank you - Tusen takk (Tusen Takk is thank you very much) I was going to fix it, but didn't have the time, I saw it after I had posted it... Thanks/thank you - Takk Quote: You're welcome - Vær så god Det er Ingen årsak! Can be both, but "vær så god" is the most used one. But then it's either "Vær så god" or "Ingen årsak." "Det er ingen årsak" is not a sentence we use. Quote: May I help you (be so good)-Vær så god? errh...no... That is "Kan jeg hjelpe deg?" Nei, jeg er fra mars, tenk! xp

Kokoroki Sol_Angelica og det er "Jeg liker å lære norsk!" blaugh Nei, jeg sig "Jeg liker lærer Norsk (as in "Learning" not "to learn") You can't say that. That's why she corrected you. You can't just translate each word from English one by one. You do the same thing in Danish, and it rarely ever works. I think you should trust the native speakers when they correct you! They speak it, and they know better than you what is correct. lærer is the present tense conjugation of the verb. You can only use it as the verb in the sentence. You cannot use it as a noun the way you can with an infinitive such as å lære. You can't do this in English either. Saying "Jeg liker lærer norsk" is more like saying "I like learns Norwegian" than "I like learning Norwegian." In English, you can use the -ing form as a noun. In Norwegian, there is no -ing form. For example, in English, you can say "I like" or "I am liking." In Norwegian, you can only say "jeg liker." You cannot say "jeg er liker" or "jeg er like." It just doesn't make sense in Norwegian. And neither does "Jeg liker lærer."
