Questions
Is this Bokmål or Nynorsk?
Bokmål, the way colleagues talk and write in an office in Oslo. It’s what most Norwegian workplaces use in emails and documents.
Do Norwegians use a formal “you” at work?
Almost never. Everyone says du, including to the CEO and to clients. The old formal De is only heard from very old-fashioned speakers, so you can forget about it.
What level is it for?
A1 to B2. It starts with working from home and taking a day off, and ends with the words of project meetings: stakeholders, scope, handovers.
Is the pack really free?
Yes. A free account keeps all 50 words in your deck, with audio, an example and a note on when to use each one. No card needed.
