How to Learn the Norwegian Language

Learning a language is a task that requires dedication. Some languages are easier to learn than others, especially if you have a background in other languages. However, learning Norwegian is a bit more challenging than learning other languages. There are many ways to learn Norwegian, but the easiest way other than taking an actual class is to purchase CDs and learn it on your own.
