This Norwegian course is for those who want to learn Norwegian online or from home, while still being part of a social classroom environment and following a qualified Norwegian teacher. Here you learn through conversations and activities in a group with other participants, and you receive teaching and guidance from a regular teacher.

Fast-track Norsk is our flagship course in Norwegian training at Lingu. The course offers a unique and engaging learning experience designed to give you the skills you need to master the Norwegian language and pass the Norskprøven or the Bergenstesten. Do you like to learn with guidance and support from a regular teacher? If you enjoy a well-structured study plan and quick progress, this course is perfect for you.

You can choose between two different course lengths, so you can select a learning pace that suits your schedule and goals. In addition, the course includes access to “drop-in” classes from Fleksinorsk, where you can participate in theme-based lessons whenever it suits you.

As a digital course participant, you also get access to Lingu’s well-known game-based learning resource Samanehs reise, which is interactive course material where you solve tasks and can submit assignments to your teacher and receive personal feedback – both written and oral. You also get immediate feedback from AI on some of the tasks.

2 fixed sessions each week

5 hours per week with your group

10–12 hours

drop-in teaching every week from the FleksiNorsk programme

This course is for you if:

you want to study from home and take regular online group lessons with a regular teacher
you want to learn Norwegian at A1 level and prepare for Norskprøven
you need to feel more confident in writing, speaking, reading and listening in Norwegian
you want to learn Norwegian together with others
you learn best when you follow a structured course plan with a fixed schedule

Choose the right course for you

Fast-track Norsk is now available in two different course lengths: Slow (16 weeks) and Fast (8 weeks). These options give you the freedom to choose whether you want a gradual and structured approach or a faster and more intensive path to your goal of mastering Norwegian.

What are the differences?

Slow 🚲

progresses at an even pace
16 weeks of teacher-led instruction to prepare you for Norskprøven
ideal for participants who prefer a more gradual approach or have limited time to study each week

Fast 🚗

progresses at a fast pace
lets you complete a whole level in 8 weeks
best suited for participants who can set aside extra time each week to work actively on the learning platform and attend drop-in classes

Why do we offer two different course lengths?

We know that some of our participants have a busy everyday life and limited time to study each week, while others want to spend a lot of time learning Norwegian over a shorter period. By offering two different course lengths, combined with access to an interactive learning platform and drop-in classes, we give our participants the opportunity to adapt the schedule to their individual needs.
