Ha en super dag! đ Hurtigruten â et cruise langs Norges kyst Petter og Hilde hadde alltid drĂžmt om Ă„ reise Hurtigruten. En kald marsmorgen sto de endelig pĂ„ kaien i Bergen. «Dette blir som en bussrute, men med hav, fjell og sjĂžmat!» lo Petter spent. De gikk om bord i MS «Kong Harald». Lugaren var liten, men varm og koselig. De slengte fra seg sekkene og gikk rett ut i salongen. Utsikten derfra var enorm! Store vinduer viste fjorder, snĂždekte topper og smĂ„ rĂžde hus ved vannkanten. Hurtigruten seilte nordover â forbi hĂžye fjell, bittesmĂ„ fiskevĂŠr og fyrtĂ„rn som sto alene i havet og blunket med lyset sitt. Ved middag spiste de torsk og rĂžmmegrĂžt. «Smakte mye bedre enn bussmat!» sa Hilde og tok en ekstra skje. Utenfor vinduet danset nordlyset over himmelen i grĂžnne og lilla farger. Dagen etter gikk de i land i Ă lesund. De klatret opp de 418 trappene til Fjellstua og sĂ„ hele byen spre seg nedenfor dem. I Trondheim rakk de akkurat Ă„ kjĂžpe varme kanelboller fĂžr skipet tutet og seilte videre nordover. «Tenk at folk ogsĂ„ bruker dette som vanlig transport,» undret Petter mens de sto pĂ„ dekk og sĂ„ solen gĂ„ ned over havet. For noen nordmenn er Hurtigruten bare en vei fra A til B. Men for Petter og Hilde var det et flytende eventyr â ett magisk stopp om gangen, med havutsikt rett fra lugaren! English: Petter and Hilde had always dreamed of traveling on Hurtigruten. On a cold March morning they finally stood on the quay in Bergen. «This will be like a bus route, but with sea, mountains and seafood!» laughed Petter excitedly. They boarded MS «Kong Harald». The cabin was small, but warm and cozy. They tossed down their bags and went straight out to the lounge. The view from there was enormous! Large windows showed fjords, snow-covered peaks and small red houses at the water's edge. Hurtigruten sailed northward â past tall mountains, tiny fishing villages and lighthouses that stood alone in the sea and blinked with their light. At dinner they ate cod and sour cream porridge. «Tasted much better than bus food!» said Hilde and took an extra spoonful. Outside the window the northern lights danced across the sky in green and purple colors. The next day they went ashore in Ă lesund. They climbed the 418 steps to Fjellstua and saw the whole city spread out below them. In Trondheim they just managed to buy warm cinnamon buns before the ship honked and sailed further north. «Imagine that people also use this as regular transport,» wondered Petter as they stood on deck and watched the sun go down over the sea. For some Norwegians Hurtigruten is just a way from A to B. But for Petter and Hilde it was a floating adventure â one magical stop at a time, with ocean view right from the cabin!

The word carries two distinct meanings that context reveals beautifully. We'll look at the difference between when e.g mythology speaks of "Muren og havet skulle beskytte det nye landet mot jotnene" (The wall and sea were to protect the new land from the giants), vs. expressions like "Han skulle mÞte meg pÄ kafeen i gÄr", which would usually imply that it did not happen as planned.

In this episode we're starting a new little series about small bits of helpful and useful expressions, that are common in everyday speech. And a very helpful way of not repeating the whole phrase in a reponse to a question, we often say f.ex. "Yes, I can" or "Yes, I do". Ex: Kan du sykle? Ja, det kan jeg. Vil du spise? Ja, det vil jeg. Sykler du til jobben? Ja det gjĂžr jeg. The rule is this: kan, vil, skal, mĂ„ + er/har in the question => repeat the verb in the response. All others verbs as question => put "gjĂžr" in the response. Fill-ins: Er du glad i dag? Ja, det ... jeg. Kan du spille gitar? Ja, det ... jeg. Drikker du kaffe? Ja, det ... jeg. .. Great! Well done :)) đ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Fill-ins: Da jeg var liten, âŠâŠ... jeg ikke snakke italiensk. (kan) De âŠâŠ... pakke kofferten kvelden fĂžr. (mĂ„) .. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! đđđđđđđđđ :)) A2 level of Grammar is finished!!

In this episode we'll look at the comparative and superlative form of the adjective, which in general is to add "-ere" and "-est". Ex: fin, finere, finest varm, varmere, varmest Fill-ins: Han er âŠâŠâŠ. i klassen. (hĂžy) Jobben er âŠâŠâŠ. enn han trodde. (vanskelig) Some exceptions: stor, stĂžrre, stĂžrst god, bedre, best ung, yngre, yngst Fill-ins: Han er âŠâŠâŠ enn henne. (ung) Han vil bli âŠâŠâŠ etter sommeren. (god) .. And in addtion, when the superlative (best, stĂžrst, finest, eldst) is used as adjective with a specific noun, we add an "-e" at the end; Det stĂžrste huset. Den eldste byen. .. Excellent work, and thanks for listening!! đđ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
In this episode we'll look at when to use the "sin" concept, and how to find the right ending. 1. The endings follow the object they belong to; Han legger sĂžnnen sin. Han er pĂ„ Ăžya si. Han vasker huset sitt. Han mister nĂžklene sine. 2. The condition for using "sin" is as follows: "If the subject is in the 3. person (he,she,they), and the object belongs to the subject, replace hans/hennes/deres with sin/si/sittt/sine! :) 3. The two most common "traps" are; - be sure what the subject is - with subclauses; find subject and object again FIll-ins: Han reiser pĂ„ tur med kona âŠâŠ.. (his own). Han og kona âŠâŠ. (his own) reiser pĂ„ tur sammen. Han sier at kona âŠâŠ. er hjemme i dag. .. This might be the hardest item in the grammar - but once the subject/object part is more clear, everything becomes more easy!

In this episode we'll hear about the main person thinking about his efforts to get assignments as a writer and applying for work at the local Firestation. He then ventures out into the street, and his moods changes into heightened confidence - slightly influenced by his debilitating hunger. Jeg-personen gÄr i denne episoden ut av huset og mÞter folkene i gatene. Det er en livlig scene som fyller han med nytt mot og vi ser hvordan sulten pÄvirker opplevelsen og persepsjonen av livet og folkene rundt ham. Thanks for listening, and enjoy! Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
In the episode we'll expand slightly on the topic of the subclauses, and look at what happens if you start a sentence with a subclause. The rule is this; The subclause itself remains exactly the same as before, but afterwards you put a comma, and then the verb. Example: Hvis sola ikke skinner, drar vi hjem. Hvis bussen ikke kommer, mĂ„ vi lĂžpe. To fill in: Hvis barna ikke er sultne, _______ (spiser - senere - vi) Fordi han ikke var syk, _____ (de - hjem - dro) .. Excellent work!! đ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
In Norwegian language there is a slight change in word order every time you have a subclause with an adverb. Ex: Det er ikke regn. (Normal sentence) Hun sykler fordi det ikke er regn. (Subclause with "fordi") The rule is this: 1. subjunksjon (hvis, at, fordi.. osv.) 2. subjekt (person/ting) 3. adverb (ikke, ofte, sjelden, aldri etc.) 4. verb Fill-ins: Marco sier ............................... (han - sykler - aldri - at). Britt drar pÄ ferie ............................... (hun - er - syk - ikke - hvis). Butikken stenger ............................... (det - er - kunder - ikke - fordi). .. Great work! :)) Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Et stort hus - âŠâŠâŠ... Mange rĂžde tak - âŠâŠâŠ.. Mange nye sko - âŠâŠâŠ... Bra! ..

Episode 8 (of 8) from the beginning of Marcel Proust's Masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time". The process of falling asleep and waking up has been thoroughly detailed in these opening pages - alluding to the process of imagination, reading, the literary world and it's relationship to the real and physical world. With this opening Proust is in some ways laying the ground for a journey through 4.000 pages of life and thinking, and the gradual development of the mind from early childhood into an adult stage of life. Vi avslutter med dette Ă„pningen av PĂ„ Sporet av den Tapte Tid, med Marcel's tanker om minner, forestillingsevnen, og forholdet mellom drĂžmmer, litteratur - og livet.

Marcel is remembering a series of different rooms from his childhood, from both summers and winters with joys and troubles, and how the habit is a mitigating mechanism which could help us to accept various situations and environments which we at first might react very strongly to. This points to a much bigger theme in the whole work - regarding Habit and its nature! I denne episoden gÄr Marcel gjennom en rekke av de vÊrelser han har sovet i som liten gutt, og de effektene de hadde pÄ ham. Tilslutt reflekterer han over vanens natur og hvordan man kan tilpasse seg situasjoner som fÞrst trenger enkelte tilpasninger for Ä bli beboelige. Thanks for listening!
