Grandparents as Tools for Language Learning (Part I of II)
Grandparents can be some of the most influential people in helping children to learn a language. Children often have a very special relationship to their grandparents and will go along with them on things they would never think of doing with their parents. Since Norwegian is, above all, a heritage language, grandparents deserve special consideration in the Norwegian-learning process.

For those of you who are interested in passing the language down to your grandchildren, I’ve assembled a few ideas to help you in your endeavor.
