| 3. For å oversette "to do translations" |
| Jeg lærer språk for å kunne oversette. "I learn languages to be able to do translations." |
| The Norwegian word oversette actually means over put. So maybe that makes it easier to remember. |

| Jeg kan nå se på norske filmer uten teksting og fortsatt forstå mye. "I am now able to watch Norwegian movies without subtitles and still understand a lot." |
| It is very nice to have subtitles in the same language as the movie you are actually watching. Then, you can listen and read at the same time. That’s what I prefer to do. |

| Jeg lærer norsk på nettet for å kunne bo i Norge i fremtiden. "I am learning Norwegian on the Internet to be able to live in Norway in the future." |

| A lot of the modern songs made in Norway these days are all in English. So, if you want to practice your Norwegian, folkeviser is a good alternative. |
| 7. For å få nye venner "to make new friends" |
| Når jeg snakker norsk er det lettere å få meg norske venner. "When I speak Norwegian, it is easier for me to get Norwegian friends." |
| Especially if you are interested in working in Norway, most companies would require that you can understand and speak Norwegian. |
| 8. For å kunne snakke med norsk familie på telefonen "to be able to speak with Norwegian relatives on the phone" |
| Jeg har norsk familie i Norge og snakker med dem på norsk når jeg snakker med dem på telefonen. "I have Norwegian family in Norway and speak to them in Norwegian when I am speaking to them on the phone." |
| On the other hand, there are so many technological options out there for you. So, you might as well use Skype or Facebook, anything. You can reach your Norwegian relatives really easily these days. |
| 9. For å forhandle med norske selskaper "to do business with Norwegian companies" |
| Mitt selskap forhandler med norske selskaper og derfor lærer jeg meg norsk. "My company is doing business with Norwegian companies, and therefore, I am learning Norwegian." |
| 10. For å ta en master i Norge "to go to a graduate school in Norway" |
| Universitet i Norge er gratis, så jeg lærer meg norsk for å kunne ta en mastergrad på Universitetet i Oslo. "University is free in Norway, so I am learning Norwegian to be able to go to graduate school at the University of Oslo." |
| University is free even if you are not a Norwegian citizen. So if you are looking for a place to get a cheap degree, Norway… And for that, you should study more with us at NorwegianClass101.com |
