How is my Norwegian coming along? Good question! The truth is I can tell you that I am learning, but I think the people to determine how much I have learned will be the people in Skien. I will be able to tell you what they say in less than two weeks. Until then I am trying to finish well. I am a bit nervous to hear what Skien has to say about my Norsk. I still have poor sentence structure (yes, I want to translate it directly from English). I still struggle understanding when people talk at normal pace (I still find it a bit too fast). Yet, I continue to learn.
Below are a few photos of the area I have taken, so you have a small sample of my surroundings. I find myself liking Hamar more and more (I am sure it is because the wonderful people I have met and continue to meet).
