Customer Reviews

believe me, this one works

I travelled to Norway in the summer of 2000. Because I am from Copenhagen, Denmark, originally, I knew that anybody there who knew Norwegian would also be able to understand Danish. This is however an awkward situation for both speakers of the languages due to several pronunciation changes, and it can be said jokingly that Norwegians sometimes can't understand Danes. If you are a speaker of Norwegian, Swedish, or Danish, the book probably won't cause much trouble. Even English speakers are surprised on occasion to learn that almost everybody who speaks one of those three languages natively also knows English. But, if you are determined to learn the language, this dictionary will serve as a great source of vocabulary. It would be best for travel, though; students who seek the grammatical aspects of the language should try another dictionary. The words listed are commonly heard, and this book boosts Norwegian vocabulary greatly. There are also sections on food, conversion tables, and short grammar tables, although the latter are not very well explained. For the price, this is a very good selection to choose.

A Great Help

I am Norwegian and this year I went there to see the family and all. I brought along this book, and it helped me a whole lot. It even had a nice blank place at the back where you could write the words you learned along the way. It helped me a whole lot!

Excellent pocket resource

Family of four used this frequently in July 1999, 20 day trip to Norway. Only once did it not contain the word we were searching for. Even if word desired is not listed, most likely a coorelated word will be that enables one to figure out what the unlisted word means.
