Hi all,
As you may have read on Twitter, my blogging frequency is reduced at the moment due to some stuff I need to sort out. But I thought I’d blog when I had moments of inspiration, such as today.
I was listening to Norsk Attrasksjon med Linda Eide on NRK Nett-TV and noticed I understood most (pretty much all) of what was being said. There were still some gaps, however. It hit me at that moment that my goal ought to be to become unable to not understand what was being said – to understand it so well that even all the little words, easily missed or thought to mean nothing, would be clearly understood without an effort.
Sure, I’ve read about learning to understand the language without effort, but you know how those things are – until it really “clicks,” you never really get it. So it was with that wording that it “clicked” for me today…I think.
I’m currently polishing up my Norwegian in preparation for a trip to Norway! Yay!
See you next time,
Kevin
