The Idea to learn intensive Norwegian in Teacher‘s Home in Oslo was very exciting for me. I could combine daily talk with the norwegian Teacher, indoor and outdoor activities, visiting Oslo, practically resolving from problems for example registering to authorities, social activities like shopping and visiting a library, sportive activities in nature like Swimming in the sea or river and hiking, also studying of norwegian Books, fast all of these activities sometime in the pleasant teachers‘s company.
I could improve my norwegian language due to daily conversation with the teacher and grammar book exercises under her supervising.
The location was in a nice traditional norwegian house, I had my private room and bathroom, very clean and pleasant. TV, Internet and a nice Garden were also. Transport and shopping facilities in very little distance, also path to wood and river quickly to reach. On Mornings was a lot trafficnoise, but on evening and night was very quiet. Meals were ok, the teacher has very good cookingstalent, she cooked sometimes, she was friendly, communicative and very helpful.
It was an interesting experience!
