Norgebror - Learn Norwegian with easy conversations

E08 - Leilighet eller Hus? How to Talk About Your Home Like You Actually Live There


Listen Later

Ever been asked "Hvor bor du?" and suddenly forgotten your own address? Yeah, us too.

In this episode, Preben Karlsen breaks down a real conversation between Emma and Jonas to help you:

  • Answer the dreaded "where do you live?" question without panicking
  • Navigate the leilighet vs. hus debate like a true Norwegian
  • Describe your neighborhood (even if "rolig og fint" is stretching the truth a bit)

You'll learn to chat about homes as naturally as you complain about Norwegian weather – and maybe even pick up some local vocab along the way.

Norgebror: Turning "I live somewhere, probably" into actual Norwegian small talk.
