Studying a foreign tongue
Contexto cultural
Norwegians start learning English in 1st grade. Learning a 'nytt språk' is a standard part of the school curriculum, usually adding German, French, or Spanish in 8th grade. The phrase is central to the 'Introduksjonsprogrammet', a state-funded program where new residents spend up to two years learning Norwegian to integrate. In Northern Norway, many are working to 'lære et nytt språk' that is actually an ancestral language (Sami) which was previously suppressed. With the rise of remote work, many foreigners in Oslo or Bergen use apps to 'lære et nytt språk' while working from cafes.
