-------Lesson Dialog-------

----Formal ----

Linda: Hvor er du fra, Halvor? Du snakker ikke dialekt.

Halvor: Jeg er fra en liten landsby midt i Østlandet.

Linda: Vokste du opp på gard?

Halvor: Nei, det var et rekkehus, men det var flere garder i nærheta. Vekste du opp i en storby?

Linda: Ja, vi hadde en leilighet midt i sentrum.

Halvor: Jeg tror ikke at jeg kunne bo i en bolig så liten som en leilighet.

Linda: Vi flyttet til en enebolig i forstedene da jeg fylte femten. Vi hadde en stor hage også.

Halvor: Det høres litt bedre ut enn ei høyblokk!

----Formal English----

Linda: Where are you from, Halvor? You don't speak in dialect.

Halvor: I'm from a small village in the middle of eastern Norway.

Linda: Did you grow up on a farm?

Halvor: No, it was a townhouse, but there were many farms nearby. Did you grow up in a city?

Linda: Yes, we had an apartment in the middle of the city center.

Halvor: I don't think I could live in a residence as small as a flat.

Linda: We moved to a detached house in the suburbs when I was fifteen. We had a big garden, too.

Halvor: That sounds a bit better than a tower block!
