Week 1: A review

Okay, week one!  What a meetup it was!

• Vær så god + Takk
• Jeg heter ____
• Han liker å spise kjøtt!

We touched on some basic introductions, framing up sentences starting with our pronouns, and pushed hard on our pronunciation!

Norwegian is a language that feels exceptionally silly if you're not used to making those sounds.  Your mouth will resist these new contortions and movements until you've practiced your baby talk.

If you were to literally sit in your car and sing every song you can hear with the worst "India-Indian Accent" you can muster, and sit there and go "la-le-loo-loh-luh" like a little toddler would, your pronunciation will improve markedly!  We're using muscles in Norwegian that we've never had to use in our Yankee English.  Keep pushing yourself.  Practice tongue-twisters in English too, keep those muscles on their ... um... toes.
