There are lots of great Norwegian websites out there for young children who have a taste for popular culture and an interest in learning something new. One of my daughter’s favorite activities is sitting in my lap as we explore the games, stories, and animated creatures that populate these sites.

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.
