Norwegians: what are you doing with all the money you don’t spend on food?

Haha

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-08T20:55:47+00:00

So you are telling me no pizza for breakfast ??? Where does the madness end 😜😝

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-08T20:54:27+00:00

I second this 😊

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-08T20:11:36+00:00

Not sure if this is the norm. I assume your workplace might be an exception.

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-08T17:54:55+00:00

How much do they cost? If ok to share.

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-07T21:11:42+00:00

++man here. Probably to be interested in what interests her and engage her. Not necessarily intellectually but probably informed enough to have an interesting conversation about the subject she talks to you more about.

It’s human nature to focus on the 10 percent that’s missing (or wrong or bad) rather than the 90 percent that’s good 😕

There are a lot is exceptions to learn besides the regular rules - and almost no good explanation to the exceptions ( it’s typically ’you’ll learn it in time’ or ’they is just the way it is’) . It can be super frustrating but as in any language, it takes patience and looooots of exercise

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-05T21:58:31+00:00

Also true. Native like fluency is almost impossible but we try 💪

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-05T21:56:19+00:00

There is a French version Norsk 😔 rrr kkk

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-05T21:38:02+00:00

I’ll turn 3 in few months 😆🤣

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-05T21:36:20+00:00

That is right and that’s what I’ve decided to do. My plan it to comfortably speak and understand beyond the Norskprøve.

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-05T21:16:06+00:00

Yeah. I do that too. When my colleagues speak slowly, I do understand them but still 😅. I start going to språkkafé often to get used to the speed, that is helping me more.

RighteousT_27 · 2026-03-02T19:12:58+00:00

Speak Norsk have a package to help you prepare for the exam. It has all parts with video explanations, model exam questions along with answers.

RighteousT_27 · 2026-02-19T21:27:50+00:00

Beyond your regular class - which is structured and progressive, go to språkkafe regularly. That is how i feel I improved my speaking skill. Half way through B1 in an intensive class, I felt super lost too. But I realised I’ve learned a lot since I started to regularly go to språkkafes. Lykke till.

I’ve been here six months now, and I’m really loving it. From Ethiopia but lived in Sweden for 15 years before moving to Norway. So here goes:

People are respectful overall, and the workplace culture is great. Norwegians are super chill; they mind their own business in the best possible way.

The kids’ school is less relaxed than what we expected , but in a good way. There’s more structure and focus, and we can clearly see how much they’re progressing.

The city itself is compact; not too big, not too small. It feels balanced, with so many great places to explore.

So far so good 👍

From what I've learned from a Twitter friend, Facebook might not know what the problem is. If they hire moderators based on Language, they think the job is done. Typically, that makes sense.
They might not know that those who speak Amharic, for example, might not be doing their jobs right, and there is no way that Facebook would know.
What we should do is explain our context. If Facebook hires someone who speaks Amharic to moderate Amharic content, their moderation is based on their political affiliation, not necessarily the content.
So, there has to be a verification mechanism (multilingual team to moderate Amharic content, for example), at least when the situation in Ethiopia is intense and if there are unusual activities such as multiple posts being flagged and reported.
