Learning Norwegian through Mnemonics and Visual Imagery (Part I of II)
Learners have often used mnemonic (memory aid) strategies when studying complex material, but this strategy has been less frequently and explicitly used in the study of language. For those of you who are learning Norwegian (or teaching Norwegian), I outline four basic approaches to mnemonic language learning below and briefly discuss the evidence for its application to cognitive processes.

Learning Norwegian through Mnemonics and Visual Imagery (Part II of II)
It's one thing to talk about mnemonics as a strategy for memorizing vocabulary, but how is a strategy for experiencing a language? Why bother learning Norwegian if memorization comes before experience, if learning to speak Norwegian comes before experiencing Norway? I suggest that learning Norwegian is a part of experiencing Norway. Learning a language means not just becoming a speaker of that language, but learning to see the world through that language.

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.
