learning Norwegian language - Part I

Starting from this semester my department has send me to a Norwegian language course. The department has the allocation for that to ensure we can communicate in their language among the colleague. It's quite difficult to learn their language. There are lots of new words that is not familiar with us. Luckily I have Mona, Martin and Randi in the office who help me to practise with the language. Anyway, I am just taking it for fun and since it is sponsored so I just attend to make sure atleast I can understand whatever letters or memo send to us either from the community, schools or other organizations..So, I'll take this chance to list few common words that we might use in our daily conversation.

1. vaer sa god: welcome / may i help u
2. tusen takk : thank u very much
3. god morgen : good morning
4. god dag : good day
5. hva heter du? what is your name?
6. jeg heter Nor. My name is Nor
7. hvor kommer du fra? where do u come from?
8. Jeg kommer fra Malaysia. I come from Malaysia.

ogsa (also), men (but), og (and), eller (or)

Flott! (Excellent)

So I guess I'd have to stop until now and we'll continue with the basic words in the next lesson. Takk for i dag (thanks for the day!)

Pa vei - the text and exercise books that we use to learn the language and of course some dictionaries/vocabularies references
