Norwegian Word Play (Part I of II)
I’ve heard it said that you don’t really know a language until you get the jokes. This is particularly true with Norwegian, where so many of the jokes rely on clever word play and puns. I see no reason, however, why you can’t learn language through the study of word play. Not only are jokes a fun way to approach language learning, they’re also chock-full of cultural information and can make great conversation starters (so long as you watch who you’re talking to).

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. With more Norwegians living outside of Norway than in their homeland, the role of Norwegian grandparents in language acquisition cannot be ignored. 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.

Grandparents as Tools for Language Learning (Part II of II)
One of the strongest regrets I’ve heard voiced by the grandchildren and great grandchildren of immigrants is that they never took the time to learn language from their grandparents. As a grandparent, even if you know only a few words in Norwegian, you have the opportunity to open the doors for your grandchildren into their heritage and the international community. It is hoped that the strategies listed here will guide you in stimulating your grandchild’s interest in, and understanding of, the language.

Now that you’ve had a chance to go through these jokes for grammatical and semantic content, think about what kind of cultural information is conveyed by them. What do they say, for instance, about Norwegian relationships with Swedes, Arabs, and Same people? Who are the famous Norwegian and not-so-Norwegian people referred to in these jokes?

The great grammar debate
When second languages were taught by the grammar/translation method, everyone seemed fairly clear about what should be taught and in what order. Verbs in all their complexity dominated the scene and conjugations and inflections were learnt by rote. The result was that language learners understood a good deal about how the target language was constructed but had little idea of how it was pronounced or used in ordinary conversation.
