Bedeutung
Studying a new tongue.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Norwegians highly value the effort of learning their language, even if they speak English fluently. It is seen as the ultimate sign of respect. Because Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian are mutually intelligible, 'å lære et språk' often involves learning to understand neighbors without changing your own speech. Learning the language is often called 'nøkkelen til arbeidslivet' (the key to working life). There is a debate about 'domenetap' (domain loss) where English is replacing Norwegian in universities, making 'å lære et språk' (Norwegian) even more culturally significant.
