THE ALPHABET

The Norwegian alphabet has three extra letters: æ,ø and å. ( pronuciation: ah, ur and o with your lips really round.)

PHRASE BOOK

What is your name?= Hva heter du? ( Vah heter do)

I don't speak Norwegian= Jeg snakker ikke norsk( Yi snah-ka ik-a nor-shk)

Do you speak English?= Snakker du engelsk? ( sna-ker do en-gelsk)
