Practice Norwegian is a small online Norwegian language school founded in 2011. It mainly offers one-on-one Norwegian lessons via Skype and Zoom, while also running a free podcast, a Patreon members-only podcast, a weekly Norwegian essay subscription, and PDF ebooks. It is not a large MOOC platform, but rather a boutique language tutoring service led by an experienced teacher.
The courses focus on Norwegian, covering A1/A2 basic grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, listening, reading, everyday expressions, and intermediate-to-advanced materials. Private lessons emphasize personalization; the free podcast can be used for beginners and self-study; the members-only podcast includes more than 350 episodes, including 50 beginner episodes, 20 basic grammar episodes, pronunciation training, etymology, and over 150 intermediate-to-advanced reading and translation episodes. The weekly essay subscription provides native-speaker audio, vocabulary lists, and comprehension exercises, making it better suited for sustained input practice.
Pricing is fairly transparent: a 50-minute one-on-one private lesson costs NOK 525, USD 50, GBP 40, or EUR 45; the Patreon podcast Gold Member tier costs USD 10/month; Weekly Norwegian Essays costs USD 6/month and can be canceled at any time. Ebooks are sold through Payhip, but no specific prices are given in the main text. No trial lesson, refund, rescheduling, or lesson cancellation policy was found.
The teacher states that they have over 13 years of language teaching experience, around 8,500 lessons taught, and have helped more than 600 students. Their background includes literature and art history at the University of Oslo, as well as studies in Norwegian as a second language and practical teaching techniques. This is a clear strength. The drawbacks are that the website information is somewhat scattered, and the structured learning path, level assessment, course syllabus, and presentation of learning outcomes are not very standardized. It also does not state whether certificates are issued, only mentioning that the teacher has helped students pass certifications and find work.
It is suitable for learners worldwide who want to study Norwegian, especially those who need one-on-one pronunciation correction, grammar guidance, exam preparation support, or preparation for working and living in Norway. Users in mainland China should note that while the website itself may be accessible, its core services rely on external platforms such as Zoom, Skype, Spotify, Patreon, and Payhip, so access and payment may be partially restricted. It is advisable to test the connection and payment method before booking lessons or subscribing.
