I’m impressed that you managed to talk to someone on the bus
29 years old, and still not talked to anyone on the bus.
hahaha! Its me, the girl from the video ahaha. Yes it was so hard to get people to start talking on the bus, but once you get them going, its hard to get them to stop haha!!
@@renax1337 haha come on henry!! You can do it!
She have been in Bergen - it’s only in the east of Norway they don’t talk to strangers- not like that in the west and north. I live in Bergen and I talk to strangers every day 🙏❤️not a problem
@@heidifarstadkvalheim4952 Everyone knows Bergensere isn't Norwegians 😂😅
She speaks better Norwegian then immigrants whohave lived here since the 90’s
More like from the 60's-70's when the first migrants started to come here, just saying..
@@TheLassenman those people are like 70-80 years old atleast, so i dont mingle that much with them
It's almost as if english is related to norwegian.
She had 6 weeks of schooling and a religious incentive.
@@kaxn They are! They're both germanic languages!
Jeg har aldri hørt en amerikaner snakke så godt norsk. Imponerende :)
Hun lærer norsk veldig fort hørte jeg😅
Spesielt R, det hørtes ikke ut som Herr Nilson.
Enig
ja det var litt sånn hint av pirat R når hu snakka men ikke så mye
Simp
Wait what....?! Your pronunciation of Drammen and Asker was spot on! O.o
takk skal du ha ! :)
@@sarahjanezenger6155 Imponert over norsken din! :)
Må si at jeg blir litt stolt når noen som snakker engelsk tar seg bryet til å lære seg språket fra lille Norge. Fantastisk!
I expected a Norwegian speaking girl when clicking on the video, but apparently I was right.
What! Hun klarte til og med kj-lyden. Det gjør nok ikke halve befolkninga engang 🤩
Ho hørtes så norsk ut, jeg kunne nesten ikke tro at ho faktisk var amerikansk. Veldig, veldig flink
Bro, jeg sverger på at jeg ikke hører at det er no forskjell på de lydene. Tror jeg er lett monga eller no.
Okay, I find it so cozy when ppl speak nicely of norway. Amazing norweagien by the way! Your really good at this!
Im speechless, your norwegian is almost flawless, it actually sound like a norwegian living in the US for some years, adapting their way of speaking :) You speak southern norwegian way better than i could ever have done, coming from Northern Norway :)
I was listening to you, Sara, while I was eating. Naturally, my brain was set to "English", until you suddenly you said: "Asker" and "Drammen" in Norwegian. I was caught so off-guard that my head shook of the element of surprise, my mouth dropped open wide, and my food fell on my plate! xD
haha sorry to make your food fall right out of your mouth!
What a great video. You are so happy and positive. And your norwegian is so good. I wish you good luck in your future. Best regards!!! 👍👍👍
Oh, what a beautiful soul. Gives me hope for this world.
As a swede, living in Oslo, I understood 100% of what you said and I would totally mistake you as a Norwegian if I met you. Keep learning that language!
It is incredibly interesting hearing people from other countries speak about my country and my people.
I am captivated by the way you've shown a genuine interest and capacity in cracking the "Norwegian code" but I think you definitely have. :)
Og norsken din er fullstendig upåklagelig! What I, as a Norwegian, always use to accurately determine a foreigners nationality is the tone of how they speak Norwegian (tonefall), such as the Dutch, Germans, Americans, etc., but you nailed that as well. I cannot at all hear that you are an American from your pronunciation.... Impressive! Thanks for sharing this. :)
takk så mye !
The Norwegian at the end was real dope!
she is really impressive! so crystal clear and focused ... and her attitude. fantastic! she is so sharp..and e love her smile ... thank you very much from Norway
Hi and wow !! Your accent is so so impressive!! And thank you for your very kind words about my country ! TFS ! 🇳🇴🥰
Her eyes are so bright.
Proud that you enjoyed your stay in Norway!
As a Norwegian myself, I would dearly welcome you back once the pandemic is over
takk skal du ha, ruben!
Omg, your norwegian is madly on point it's scary
Du snakker fantastisk godt norsk! Veldig imponerende at du har lært deg språket så godt. Hyggelig å høre om hvordan du opplevde Norge, og enda hyggeligere å høre at du hadde gode opplevelser her. Takk for en flott og koselig video!
tusen takk for hyggelig kommentar hege !:)
When you said Asker and Drammen i immediately thought "born in Norway" =D
Great job with the accent!
Wow norsken din var utrolig bra!!!
thank you! :)
Impressed that a young american get fascinated about, and even like the trad norwegian food. Warms my heart.
Jeg er veldig imponert over hvor godt norsk du snakker. Så hyggelig at du setter pris på vår kultur, tradisjoner, mat, naturen og oss nordmenn :-)
Your norwegian pronunciation is spot on. I don’t think I would be able to distinguish you from a native norwegian speaker. Amazing!
Loved hearing you share your stories! I hope I can visit Norway when Covid is under control. Thanks for sharing!!
You have to! Norway is amazing! I know it cuz I live there also here is some extra letters in Norway:
Øø
Åå
Ææ
Her Norwegian 😳 so good, wow!
Yes norway are amazing place to lived
Norsken din er helt ekstremt imponerende! Utrolig bra!
Ha det er sant
Retake norway, haha, Det sku okay, at i har amerikanerne for de er dumme som en pap kontainer, heheh. xd
@@christianjrgensen2812 Hæææ?
Simp
E vetche om dette e vanlig hos alle nordmenn, men erstatter dere ofte adjektivene til engelsk? Bra -> nice, glatt -> smooth osv...
"let's knock on this door and see if he lives here"😆 Now that's bravery in my eyes.
Thanks for making me smile 😁
If that's what you call "bravery" then you Nords better hope America doesn't find out about your oil supplies 😂👌
Well guess who helped us find and get the oil out to begin with... 😏
@@geirfammestaddonski4835
You still better guard that oil well. If there's ever a shortage you never know when a couple of cute blond girls might show up knocking on your door and take it all from you 😏
18:04 Wow, I'm impressed how good you have adopted even the "melody" of the language. No accent to speak of! It's the most difficult part of learning a foreign language after the age of 12-14 I think. When you learn to speak quicker you would pass as Norwegian in most if not all situations.
hei! takk for meldingen. Jeg pleide å snakker fort, men det blir saktere fordi jeg har vært i USA ganske lenge og har ikke så mange å snakke med. ://
Super video, it captures most of the idiosyncaties of norwegians. I am impresed by your norwegian speeking and hope that you will keep norway in your heart.
Wow, i'm from Norway. You are really good to talk Norwegian❤️🥰😍
*speak ;)
@@eltoro969 *at speaking ;)
I'm impressed by her norwegian dialect! You really learned well! :D
Så fine refleksjoner fra en svært observant ung dame. Som sorterer opplevelsene på en ypperlig og organisert
måte. En flott ambassadør for kongeriket Norge etter min mening.
Så fra meg, takk. 🙂 juhu
takk skal du ha! :) så hyggelig du likte videoen :)
Wow, never heard an American speak Norwegian so well. Most impressive!
Norsken din er jo helt perfekt :)
Her Norwegian is flawless
Takk for herlig video!Neste gang du kommer til Norge er du hjertelig velkommen til å bo hos oss! 🌹🙏
Veldig god norskuttale, meget imponert! Interessant å høre hvordan du har opplevd møtet med Norge og det norske folk. Lykke til videre med å holde språket ved like :)
Her Norwegian at the end was really good. You are welcome back any day girl :) SKÅL
Hun er nok mormoner men de drikker kanskje øl? :D
@@eltoro969 Momonere drinker Ikke alkoholholdige drikker 😉
@@eltoro969 det er sant, jeg drikker faktisk ikke, haha men skål likevel, kan drikke vann ;)))
@@sarahjanezenger6155 eller kaffe eller te, van går også :D Kjempe bra norsk du prater også :D
Det var hyggelig å høre historien din. Velkommen tilbake! 😊
Norwegian here. Love your video. Funny to hear views about norway that I really dont think about
Wow! You speak norwegian like a native. Impressive
WOW! Your Norwegian is Amazing. Well done. Thank you for sharing.
''you never eat with your hands'' unless, its TACO FREDAG!
I love the idea of you recording yourself speaking the language you're learning, so that you can listen to it later to hear how you've progressed!
I did that too when I studied Japanese. It was cringey, but it helped!! It helped a lot.
yeah, it helped me learn so much and see how far I had come!
I like skiing and biking, fitness ! How does Norway pump iron or excersize...?? It will be a rational goal for Me to visit Norway ! I gotta try that salmon !!
For en fantastisk jente og for en fin video! Velkommen tilbake!!! :-)
Wow! If it hadn't been for the pauses and the attempts to find words I would have thought you grew up in Norway! That's insane good for someone that doesn't have Norwegian as their first language! :)
haha norsken min har blitt sakte siden jeg har flyttet til USA, desverre. pleide å snakke fortere. sånn er det når man flytter langt unna og har ingen a snakke med, vet du.
You look and sound like a ethnic Norwegian, This is really impressive 👏 Veldig bra jobba👍
she looks like a white starbucks girl to me
You're sooo sweet ! I could hardly notice you weren't native because you speak Norwegian so well and you even look more native than I do that is from Norway and all my family is.
So glad to hear you had a good time here . Not often I hear people from other countries like our foods . I know it's not much to choose from in the grocery stores ,specially the most ordinary and when I was in Spain, I was shocked about the huge grocery stores with a gazillion brands to choose from. Understood what foreigners meant about our expensive less exiting groceries. . But if good in the kitchen ...
Wish you all the best ,American Norwegian girl ! 🙂😘
I am from Ålesund in Norway and I am impressed by how good you are at understanding how to communicate to others. You are also good at speaking Norwegian with a kj sound
In terms of the language: You provably learned normative Norwegian when taking your language course. However, when we speak to each other, there are so many different dialects involved, and they can range from being very different to quite similar to the normative Norwegian. That said, from the Norwegian I heard you speak in the video, it sounds like you've lived in Norway at least half your life! Hope you get the opportunity to visit again. Seems like you enjoyed Norway!
Yes, she probably knows this ;)
Wow! To those who don´t know norwegian - she talks very well! Impressive. You should aim for diplomacy, as spokesperson, translator and teacher at the embassy in Oslo :-)
Why? Pewdiepie is going to invade your country and turn you all into Swedes anyway 🤷♂️
@@noteem5726 Nah we got middle eastern men to do that job for us ;)
@@IDontLikeMooshrooms
Why would Muslims want to turn you into Swedes 😳
@@noteem5726 Muslims are the new swedes bro
@@IDontLikeMooshrooms and Not Eem, why make this in to politics? Pardon but I think you disrespect this comment and the girl.
wow!! I know americans that have lived here for years and still struggle with the language. Your norwegian is amazing!!!
Nice to hear your story! Keep up the Norwegian learning :) Agree on the rislunsj being tasty
takk pål!! skal fortsette med norsken!!
@@sarahjanezenger6155 Lykke til!
Your pronunciations are so good, I love to see what Americans think of Norway. You say so many things that I think basically everyone in Norway can relate to, you have a good grasp of our culture :) You also look suspiciously Norwegian? I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree in that case :D
hei, jeg er jo litt norsk selv, men det var tippoldemoren min som reiste til USA fra norge :) takk for hyggelig melding
@@sarahjanezenger6155 Vent, så du kan snakke flytende Norsk? :O Det er jo dødskult!
Duh. She's ethnically just that
So funny to watch.
Impressed of your great accent.
And your info is just about right👌
Greetings from Norway.
Norway looks amazing i would like to go there someday
Jag er fra Spania
Thanks Emil!! I hope I wont lose my norwegian :/
For en fantastisk historie du har delt med oss! Ble rørt av hvor fantastisk flink du er til å snakke norsk. Stå på!
Absolutely GORGEOUS! ❤️
Tusen takk for en fantastisk flott hilsen til «det norske folk» fra «the American girl». ❤️ Du har virkelig klart å knekke koden med vårt sjeldne språk (cracked the code of our peculiar language = rear). Du har til og med klart å fange musikaliteten i dialekten du har blitt lært (østlandsk fra Oslo vest/Asker?) (You’ve even picked up the melody and rhythm of the dialect you’ve been thought 👏) Jeg håper du får en anledning til å reise rundt til andre steder i Norge ved neste anledning, selv om nye dialekter kan by på nye utfordringer. (you’re probably aware that dialects in Norway are more distinct than some languages in between? Like maybe American English and Jamaican English is closer than Oslo dialect and trøndersk or the dialect at Jæren, where I come from 😂) - Anyway, with your attitude, we all welcome you openheartedly ❤️
hei, takk for hyggelig kommentar! Jeg har jo prøvd å lære meg østlandsk dialekt siden jeg bodde der nesten hele misjonsreisen min. Jeg fokuserte mye på musikaliteten i dialekten fordi jeg er veldig glad i musikk og studerte det til og med på universitetet. Håper jeg får reise til norge til sommeren.
Omg you speak norwegian so well! I am starstruck 🤩 this is impressing! I know people who have lived here for years and dont speak very well!
Dette ble jeg rett og slett kjemperørt av å høre :-) Sånn glød og entusiasme :-) Kom tilbake :-)!!!
6:22 That's basically how everyone has it in class,no matter what you learn.
16:10 that's cause in the old day. The mum was, staying at home, taking care of kids and what not... While their dad was working 07-1500. So when he got home around 16-1700 it was dinnertime. Than rest time for dad,while the kids were playing outside.
Though times have changed. Somehow the dinnertime has stayed the same.
Gøy å høre på deg, en virkelig omfattende beskrivelse av det typisk norske. Og du snakker fantastisk bra norsk! :-) God bless!
Din norsk er utrolig bra. Jeg ble rørt av dine historier. Tusen takk!
Your norwegian is incredible! I was very moved by your stories. Thank you so much!
Wow så fint du snakker språket vårt! Kudos til deg :-)
Your Norwegian sounds fluent. Very impressive! Glad you enjoyed your stay :)
Du snakker godt norsk ja :-). Det morsomt å se hvordan folk endrer seg når man bytter til et annet språk. Takk selv!
Your Norwegian is incredible. If i met you without knowing you were American i would not realise you were foreign.
Tusen takk for dine komplimanger om norge
im from norway 🇧🇻🇧🇻
For ei fantastisk jente, - jeg håper du kan komme tilbake hit! Ønsker deg alt godt og er så imponert over hvor godt du snakker morsmålet! Positivitet kan en ikke få for mye av! Masse kjærlighet fra Norge! ( What an amazing girl, - I hope you can return to Norway! Wishing you all the best and I am so impressed by the way you master our language! There can never be too much positivity! Much love from Norway! )
I love this!!!!
glad I deggggg ;)
I am Danish but every word in Norewegean you said was also understood here in Denmark - love your way - stay here in Scandinavia - we need more of you :-) You are just so nice. Stay here -yes, we eat
with fork etc and not like animals :-) - your Norwegean so Excellent
you are too good, greetings from norway
Your norwegian sounds amazing, almost sounds like you're a native speaker :)
Topp vlog! Du er kjempeflink til å snakke norsk! Heia Sara!
hei! takk så mye!!
I'm german and understood about 20-30%.
Sometimes it is much easier to understand not the natives but somebody who learned the language.
I like this channel becuae I get so many chances to listen to foreign languages. Sometimes I can pick up a few words and so I get the chance to hear the other languages structure odr vocabulary. THX.
Du snakker bedre norsk enn de som har bodd i Norge i mange år! Wow! Du er flink! 😁👏🏻
Norway is AMAZING because they gave the world Angelina Jordan a real life singing Angel. God Bless Norway.
Yay! I'm studying my master's in Norway!
Wow, she speaks fantastic Norwegian language !
* on hamburgers, it kinda depends on the setting, if your in a restaurant, you might end up with a fork and a knife, if your in mcdonalds, you end up with your hands
Jeg ble seriøst mind blown av hvor bra du snakker norsk! Du har virkelig stått på!
Everyone speak English in Norway, BUT if you speak Norwegian you completely change status. You go from just "being a foreigner" to be "One of us". Now you are able to connect "the deep friendship", which as you already know is something different, it`s more ike a covenant of loyality.
My goodness, your norwegian is awesome. A totally surprice at the end of your great video!
Good that you love Norway I have lived in Norway all my life! Du snakker bra norsk!
Thank you for sharing your story. Du snakker utrolig bra norsk :) What struck me though, is how you radiate happiness and love, never stop doing that. Kom over denne videoen helt random, glad jeg snublet over den, ble inspirert og glad. Thank you for being you. Greetings from Oslo :)
hei! håper å dele den gleden og det håpet med andre. Jeg vet det er mening med livet og det er derfor jeg reiste til norge, for å hjelpe mennesker og dele det budskapet som jeg holder nært til hjertet mitt. :)) takk for hyggelig melding
Wait, what? Great video. Was scrolling through the comments and was more or less thinking they were nice about her norwegian relative to a lot of new imigrants, and due to ger general sweetness. This was really impressive and hope you’ll make it back soon!
You have really become proficient in speaking Norwegian. Thank you for a great and objective presentation of Norway. Hope you get the opportunity to come back. Good luck in life. :)
(Du har virkelig blitt dyktig i å snakke norsk. Takk for en kjempefin og objektiv presentasjon av Norge. Håper du får mulighet til å komme tilbake. Lykke til videre i livet. :) )
First person I've heard say they miss the food! 😂 Although I do agree the salmon is very tasty.
You look more Norwegian than I do, talk like you grew up here (seriously!), and you must look like a beautiful dream wearing any bunad I can think of. It warms my heart to listen to you talk about all the good things you experienced here, and all the nice people you connected with. Thank you!
Nice video! You probably speak better Norwegian then some of my friends, after they consume a six-pack of beer. Thank you for respecting our culture and our strange ways.... :-)
haha, det var morsomt kommentar. takk skal du ha!
You are so right, we eat dinner early, but maybe its caused by the daylight we get during winter or something. Im guessing here. Dinner is not our last meal during a day, we have something called kveldsmat also. This translates to "evening meal". This is a lighter meal we have closer to bedtime. The typical choises of an "evening meal" would be something similar to breakfast. For example, two slices of bread with toppings.
Fin film, interessant å høre om alle erfaringene. Morsomt at du ble så flink i norsk. Håper du kommer hit igjen😊. Take care.
Wow! Your norwegian is very good.
I`m really impressed.
For en fin video, det er godt å høre at du hadde det fint i Norge. Norsken din er veldig god!
She speaks suprisingly good norwegian
Hello from Norway. :) Your norwegian is actually very good. :)
Your Norwegian is insanely good, I am thoroughly impressed!
