| Cultural Insight |
| Michael: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Inger: On the phone, some Norwegians tend to talk quite fast—try to listen for key words, and, if you still find it too hard to understand the conversation, you could just ask them to switch over to English. Most Norwegians are quite comfortable with this, and some are even happy to get a chance to speak English. |
