Learn Norwegian in an hour

by Jerry Guo (RSS feed) on Nov 4th 2008 at 1:00PM

Misleading headline? Well, I just came upon a wonderfully detailed post arguing that Norwegian is the easiest language for English-speakers, to learn. This followed up on an equally fresh post from last week in which the poster explained why Persian/Farsi (two languages for which the CIA is desperately looking for translators) happen to be easier to learn than most people think.

Anyways, back to Norwegian. The guy's basic points are:

It's a Germanic language
But with simpler grammar than other Germanic language
And a word order that more closely mirrors English

You'll have to read the original post for the many examples. After an hour of this stuff, you'll probably feel like you have a rudimentary grasp of Norwegian! Great way to introduce a language.
