Solidifying listening, speaking, reading and writing Norwegian

Communicate spontaneously

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

This course is perfect for those who can already grasp the main points of clear standard speech on familiar topics encountered in daily life, such as work, school, and leisure.

At the B2 High Intermediate Level, you will enhance your conversational skills and deepen your linguistic understanding of Norwegian. You’ll be able to comprehend 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

This course is designed for learners who have completed the Intermediate course B1, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. If you want to join this course without having completed the B1 level, we encourage you to take our Norwegian Placement Test to confirm your level.
