Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Thanks for the advice! Så kan du norsk eller ikke? And that is amazing!!!
My Norwegian is not very good. Since I went to the Norwegian Institute of Life Science to continue to biology education all my classes were in English. (There isn't really a large enough population to make or even use Norwegian textbooks at this level).
So everyone wanted to practice their english with me and since my roommates were German I practiced my German with them. We all struggled to do a little Norwegian speaking. Most of us like myself included got by with some words and focusing on the written word. Which is a great skill to learn
Ahhh ok, I’m learning German next year!!! My Norwegian isn’t so good either but I’m trying 🤞
There's a lot of overlap between English, German and Norwegian when written. Anything is better than nothing
That's very true! I can understand the gist of basic Norwegian sentences and therefore Swedish even due to the similarities! I was conversing with a Swedish guy and he understood me!
