Our Norwegian High Intermediate Course is designed to give students the reading, writing, listening and speaking skills necessary for high-intermediate communication.

Our course is the ideal extension for anyone who can understand the main points of clear standard speech on familiar matters regularly encountered in everyday life (work, school, leisure, etc).

Our B2 High Intermediate Level will improve your conversational skills and enhance your linguistic awareness of the Norwegian language. You will be able to understand the main ideas of complex texts on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in your field of specialization.

Being at a B2 level in Norwegian means that you:

• can present topics related to your own daily life, but also about politics, the environment and the media
• can give instructions and messages, and understand some Norwegian dialects
• are able to critically evaluate texts and use different learning strategies as needed
• write texts in various genres, such as minutes, abstracts and argumentative texts
• interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers possible and comfortable for either party
• can produce clear, detailed texts on a wide range of subjects and explain your viewpoint on topics stating the advantages and disadvantages of various options
• are equipped to handle all common language situations in Norway and do so confidently
