Norwegian Vocabulary Words

How do you learn best? Is it by listening, reading, doing exercises? Understanding your best method of learning will help you to maximize your learning time so that you can build your Norwegian vocabulary quickly and successfully. Of course, the core of your learning will likely revolve around some form of Norwegian lessons, but whether you are planning on taking lessons in a formal classroom setting at a community college or adult learning center, or prefer to take advantage of the convenient accessibility and customization of online learning, you can increase the effectiveness of your studies by identifying the way that you learn best and supplementing your lessons with these techniques.

You probably already understand that there is more to being able to understand and communicate in the Norwegian language than memorizing a list of words, but in order to build these abilities you will need to grow your Norwegian vocabulary. It is on this foundation of words that you will gradually build your understanding of more complex concepts within the language such as the grammar rules and conversational phrases. While your lessons will provide you with vocabulary lists and exercises, you can take it upon yourself to increase this word bank just by slipping a few little activities into your free time throughout the day.

One way that you can do this is by investing in a good quality Norwegian dictionary. This does not have to be a bulky paper version that you carry around with you. Many resources are available online that will provide you with a virtual dictionary that has the benefit of convenience with the added bonus of being updated frequently to take into considerations fluctuations in word meanings and pronunciations and the inclusion of commonly used Norwegian phrases that will help you to build your conversational skills. You can use this dictionary in several ways. First you can simply thumb through it whenever you have a few minutes of downtime, looking up words that you are curious about, or picking a theme for each day and setting the goal to learn a specific number of words associated with that theme during the day. You can also use it to grow your Norwegian vocabulary while you are listening to native speakers such as during a Norwegian podcast or television programming. Looking up unfamiliar words will help you clarify the communication while also getting you familiar with the accents used while speaking the Norwegian language.
