This Learner's Guide was designed to accompany the text for Norsk for utlendinger 1, a Norwegian language learning course. Norsk for utlendinger provides an incisive and lively basic introduction to contemporary Norwegian through the use of everyday expressions, practical vocabulary and stress on social/cultural situations. While the text is in Norwegian, the Learner's Guide is in English and contains notes to the learner, answer keys, Norwegian script, and key vocabulary and alphabetical word lists translated into English.

They will read about such famous writers, artists, and composers as Henrik Ibsen, Edvard Munch, and Edvard Grieg. And they will discover how Norway confronts the challenges of modern society without sacrificing its social-democratic philosophy of social justice and shared responsibility, both at home and globally.
