What a beautiful way of explanation! I wonder what it could have been like to be hearing ur voice everyday with all the Norwegian words! I would have been *veldig flink* with speaking your language :))
Thank you! I am learning norwegian for a 14 years, but so slightly ))) Your lessons helped me so much! I stuck in phonetics, but with your help i moved ahead))).
I have another question: "tj" is sounds like sweden "tj" (like "kj" in norwegian) (for example "tjänare")? For now I did'n find an answer. For example: tjafts, tjeld, tjodgate. Or else I've found word "tjømling", which means "born/lives in Tjøme. It's sounds like sweden "sk" in words like "mäniska" (near "english" sound, described by diphthong "kh")? Can you assist to your pupils?
Good one! Uttale er viktig! I just realized the difference between "Angrepet, og angrer på" This of course is when listening. I just passed Norskprøve 2 for voksne innvandrere and I still watch all your vidoes. Keep going! Storartet jobb!
Takk for the Good job, A vowel follows 2 consonant becomes short I wonder about ''FUgL'' whether it goes ''HUNd'' or the position of silent ''small'' makes it different.
i can help you with short explanation :) when there's a single letter, a letter before that sounds looonger... when there's a double letter, a letter before that sound is short is that right ??? in general...
Thanks for the detailed explanation! As a native speaker of mandarin, I find it’s quite hard to notice the difference between long and short vowels due to the lack of similar pronunciation rules in my mother tongue. I noticed that when you pronounce the long vowels (for instance fine), the tone of the word seems to be single (the tone of fi- sounds lower than ne), while the tone of the word finne (it’s more like firstly rise the tone of fi-, then lower the tone of nne) seems to be double. Is this a easy way to tell the difference between long and short vowels regarding their pronunciation or it’s just my hallucination? Hope you could kindly explain a little. Many thanks!
I am English trying to learn Norwegian and this is how I understand it. Do - trying saying the start of the word 'all' but with an 'o' in front. So like... ooa. Make your mouth slightly oval, not round. Du- your mouth will be round, use the 'oo' in 'balloon' I hope this helps
Very good job, Karin. I think that Norway must have an excellent program for teaching English because your spoken English is almost completely unaccented. I have noticed this among other Norwegians, and my compliments to you and the language education system there. One note though . . . it's "bear" with me, as in to bear a a burden or to suffer something, rather than "bare." Great lesson, and keep it up! You're a great teacher.
I have a question. So in the word 'mørket', it sounds like the 'r' is pronounced like the German 'ch' when is this the case? and the 't' is silent? And the ending of the word can change to just 'mørke"? I'm trying to learn :) by the way you are beautiful.
Hello, I‘m interested in Norsk and I'm learning this musical language recently, however, I'm confused by the two vowels "u" and "y",could you please give a more specific explanation video about these two vowels? Thanks!
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooo very much, Crienexzy :))) It's really hard to find a good grammar book online or a dictionary with transcription/pronunciation... Your help is highly appreciated! Keep going :)
I find it funny that you are cracking up when saying the long vowel words. Very informative lesson though. Now I know how to say one of my favourite bands' name properly as far as sharpness of pronunciation goes, Taake! I instinctively say "tarke" when mentioning it to english people to avoid sounding pretentious heh. Ha det bra kjære! :D
If you don't live in Norway, learn bokmål first. If you do, probably still learn bokmål first, but if the municipality you are in uses nynorsk and you like languages - or you are close with someone who speaks a western dialect - nynorsk can be fun to use. I use it, and I'm a total foreigner. And the municipality I live in uses bokmål, though there are nynorsk-using ones nearby.
Tusen takk for denne videon. Jeg er ikke fra Norge, men jeg vil lære språket, og du gjør hyggelig å lære. I know this is not very related, men du er vakker ;) Thank you, hope I said that right XD
It's a bit late to post it but anyways, the "U" sounds more like the French pronunciation in the words "Tu" or "Sur" for instance and the "O" sounds more like the pronunciation from where I come 'Brazil'. that's pretty interesting!!!!
Hei Karin, Jeg vet ikke om du hadde hørt dette før, men du er utrolig vakker :) Setter stor pris at du bruker din tid for å lære norsk utlendinger :) btw. Jeg elsker måten du snakker på. Hilsen fra Oslo
Tusen takk, it's was very useful, much needed video! (: Can you pleaseeeeeee do a video on pronunciation of the letter 'o'? Vær så snill, jeg ber deg! Ha det! (=
They pronounce r differently in south-western norway. Sort of like in french.. mørket = the dark When "-et" = "the", t is always silent. But not silent in all words that ends with the letters "et": kjærlighet = love nyhet = news mulighet = possibility het = hot
Karin, thanks for the lesson. A question: should "u" in "hun" and "hund" be of a different length? Since in the first case it's only 1 consonant (so it should be long) and in the second case, there is a consonant cluster making it short? Or am I missing anything here?
It is hard to concentrate on the lessons.....very hard...;) Thanks anyway, if you can explain more the difference between the Bokmål and Nynorsk and which is better to learn first. Thanks, much appreciated!
Thank you for the explanation. Sometimes it's good to be Hungrian because we also have long and short vowels :) so it's earier for us to understand and practice the differences :)
This is one of the few occasions that I find knowing the Dutch language convenient, didn t serve me much in England or Spain. There must be a word matchup of around 70%, it s like Holand is Scandinavia's backgarden. You know what I mean?
Thank you very much for your lessons, Karen. Last summer I was able to talk a little bit with the people in Norway (while shopping or at the camping site). The ferry to Norway in July 2012 is already booked... :-) Greetings from Kiel Nils
Jeg snakke ikke norsk, but there are two things I'd like to comment on. First, the English word is vowel, not vowle. Second, my hunch is that in Norwegian, the tongue is much closer to the palate for 'du' that it is for 'do'.
to my ears a= a. short a = a (but shorter?). e = e. short e= e (but shorter?). i = ee. short i = ih (like in). o = oo (but lips are more protruding and sound is more full). short o= o. å= å. Short å = å (but shorter?). æ= æ. Short æ= æ (but shorter?). ø= ø. short ø= uh (like but). u=ew (like new). short u= øh (like put). y= y. short y= (never heard it pronounced other then the word sytti in which the y= uh). with a,æ,å,e I wonder if there is a sound difference or just length unlike i,o,u,ø which sound different whether they are long or short.
Okay, do *NOT* turn on the closed captions for this one! 😂😅😝
You're a lovely teacher, easy to understand, thank you lærer Karin!
Tusen takk for focusing on pronunciation which is hard to learn through books.

Takk for the Good job,
A vowel follows 2 consonant becomes short I wonder about ''FUgL'' whether it goes ''HUNd'' or the position of silent ''small'' makes it different.
Oh, also, let me say that the video is excellent, even with the football fans in the background. You are wonderful to provide this service.
Karin good job good performance your teaching Is very mind touching bcuz I am learning norwigen tusen talk
the long and short vowel thing is similiar to dutch in pronouncing.. very helpfull
i can help you with short explanation :)
when there's a single letter, a letter before that sounds looonger...
when there's a double letter, a letter before that sound is short
is that right ??? in general...

YellowHammerPhD Thanks! I will never get all the word right. There are so many ways to write things :O You have beer, bear and bare :O
Karin, a quick question for you. I speak German fairly well, and I'm curious about the pronunciation of the Ø similar to an umlaut O in German?
I have a question. So in the word 'mørket', it sounds like the 'r' is pronounced like the German 'ch' when is this the case? and the 't' is silent? And the ending of the word can change to just 'mørke"? I'm trying to learn :) by the way you are beautiful.
Jeg er imponet! Because of you I've moved to Norway and now I'm studying and working here!
Wow...
One little note: The phrase is BEAR WITH ME, not BARE WITH ME. Bear means to put up or endure. Bare means make plain or nude.
Hello, I‘m interested in Norsk and I'm learning this musical language recently, however, I'm confused by the two vowels "u" and "y",could you please give a more specific explanation video about these two vowels? Thanks!

I love it when Norwegian and Swedish share the same rules (I took 3 years of Swedish and I'm interested in Norwegian as well)
I find it funny that you are cracking up when saying the long vowel words. Very informative lesson though. Now I know how to say one of my favourite bands' name properly as far as sharpness of pronunciation goes, Taake!

you are very sweet and patient to teach us Norway language with a football game in background

hallo! god bless you senorita i always watching youre video tutorial its help me a lot
mange takk.
Thank you for taking your time to make this video, very useful!
muito bom mesmo, gostei... tentando aprender, um dia chego lá. risos.
Tusen takk, it's was very useful, much needed video! (:
Can you pleaseeeeeee do a video on pronunciation of the letter 'o'?
Vær så snill, jeg ber deg! Ha det! (=
They pronounce r differently in south-western norway. Sort of like in french..
mørket = the dark
When "-et" = "the", t is always silent.
But not silent in all words that ends with the letters "et":
kjærlighet = love
nyhet = news
mulighet = possibility
het = hot
The pronunciation of the words "Gul" and "Gull" is very similiar to the word "Gül" in Turkish which means "rose"! :D
When do you pronounce "g" like a hard "g" in English, and when is it pronounced more like a "y" in English?
det lurer jeg også på ??
You've got beautiful Norwegian hair!
your videos are very useful, thank you.
Where can I find the fine flowers?
Karin, thanks for the lesson. A question: should "u" in "hun" and "hund" be of a different length? Since in the first case it's only 1 consonant (so it should be long) and in the second case, there is a consonant cluster making it short? Or am I missing anything here?
No, they sound the same:) some dialects says the 'd' as well, but most don't. And the U is short on both words:)
It is hard to concentrate on the lessons.....very hard...;)
Thanks anyway, if you can explain more the difference between the Bokmål and Nynorsk and which is better to learn first.
Thanks, much appreciated!
This was super helpful, thank you so much! :D
Thank you for the explanation. Sometimes it's good to be Hungrian because we also have long and short vowels :) so it's earier for us to understand and practice the differences :)
Seems like Dutch is closer to Norse than German after all. We also have the long and short
This is one of the few occasions that I find knowing the Dutch language convenient, didn t serve me much in England or Spain. There must be a word matchup of around 70%, it s like Holand is Scandinavia's backgarden. You know what I mean?
@WahlnottPrinsessa För att hon är snygg och norska är vackert ^^
Realy amaizing!!! this was what i want to know. thank you so much!!!!!
Virkelig amaizing !!! dette var det jeg ønsker å vite. takk så mye !!
Thank you very much for your lessons, Karen. Last summer I was able to talk a little bit with the people in Norway (while shopping or at the camping site). The ferry to Norway in July 2012 is already booked... :-)

Hvor du bor i Norge...?
Jeg snakke ikke norsk,
but there are two things I'd like to comment on.
First, the English word is vowel, not vowle.
Second, my hunch is that in Norwegian, the tongue is much closer to the palate for 'du' that it is for 'do'.
Tusen takk lærer Karin
In German "du" is pronounced like "do" in Norwegian but means "you". That's confusing.
Another great lesson!
Fortsetter med gode videoer, takk

to my ears a= a. short a = a (but shorter?). e = e. short e= e (but shorter?). i = ee. short i = ih (like in). o = oo (but lips are more protruding and sound is more full). short o= o. å= å. Short å = å (but shorter?). æ= æ. Short æ= æ (but shorter?). ø= ø. short ø= uh (like but). u=ew (like new). short u= øh (like put). y= y. short y= (never heard it pronounced other then the word sytti in which the y= uh). with a,æ,å,e I wonder if there is a sound difference or just length unlike i,o,u,ø which sound different whether they are long or short.
