We try to speak, listen to, read and write Norwegian with a bias towards Norway and its people, history and culture.

Everybody tries and seems to get something out of the group. The group started in 2006 and one of the founder members as well as the co-ordinator/leader still come. Our newest member started from scratch a couple of years ago.

We use a mixture of newspapers and the internet for learning material as well as tourist brochures etc.

Anyone who travels to Norway is asked to try to bring literature back – and that usually works

At our age there is no point in doing anything which isn’t fun, so we try to work to that.
