Converse with 5 million native speakers
Why learn Norwegian? Teaching yourself Norwegian with the help of Babbel’s tailored app unlocks access to the 5 million native speakers in Norway. Plus, Norwegian is considered one of the easiest languages for a native English speaker to learn. (Imagine the structure of English with tons of cognates — or similar words — and fewer irregularities!) However, with Babbel speech recognition, learners will discover not just how to learn Norwegian, but how to pronounce it: Norwegian includes some sounds that English doesn’t have – but mastering new sounds becomes easier with practice. Not only is learning Norwegian relatively easy, speaking it offers a head-start to understanding other Germanic languages like Swedish, Danish, Dutch and German. With Babbel, you can teach yourself Norwegian without going to classes, hiring a tutor or investing in expensive software. Babbel’s affordable subscription offers many ways to learn, from real-time classes in your pocket with Babbel Live, to hundreds of hours of interactive courses, podcasts and other content at every level, available across all devices.
