speaknorsk.no Reviews 5

Signed up for an A2 course in Spanish, which is offered through Speak Norsk. Obviously I do not speak Spanish conversationally. Already at the introductory video I need to use google translate to understand what the scope of the course is, since there are no subtitles or english manuscript to read. Speak Norsk claims this is common in new beginners language courses, without supplying references, where as I find references to subtitles being industry standards. In the terms and conditions they do mentioned that no refunds, and they are sticking to it since there are e-books associated with the course that I can use freely (hopefully when I find them they will be helpful).

I purchased this course expecting quality content from A0 to B2, but I was disappointed. High ratings seem to be driven by the requirement to give 5-star reviews for certificates. There is no live support or conversation practice, and the exercises are poorly designed—punctuation errors mark answers as wrong, which is very demotivating. Listening texts are too advanced for beginners, and exercises are monotonous. The course is very expensive (10,000 kr), and when I requested an extension, they asked for an additional 3,900 kr. Beginners would be better off finding free or cheaper online resources.

The videos are very informative and confidence building.

Hi there,
I have just finished my B2 course with SPEAK NORSK. I can definitely recommend their courses for everybody who wants to get good knowledge of the Norwegian. language. I live in Spain and will not have the chance to practice the language in Norway, but I am now able to understand a lot at Norwegian TV and can understand basic conversations. I will of course continue C1 and C2 and hopefully one day I can visit that marvellous country.
Good luck for all the future students!!!

I recently attended Speaknorsk to learn Norwegian, and I have to say, it was an excellent experience. I was impressed by how well-structured and engaging the course material was. The teachers are knowledgeable and specifically excellent in their approach to teach grammar. It was an enjoyable experience and classes were interactive which helped me build my confidence in trying to speak Norwegian.

Since completing the course, I’ve noticed significant improvement in my ability to understand Norwegian, and I feel much more confident in daily conversations.
I highly recommend Speaknorsk to anyone looking to learn Norwegian – it’s an excellent choice for beginners and anyone looking to refine their language skills.
