Norwegian for beginners, spoken from day one

Starting a language from zero is mostly about not quitting in the first week. What keeps people going isn't a grammar chart, it's the small thrill of actually saying something and being understood.

Parlita gets you there in minutes. Your first session has you hearing, repeating, and using real Norwegian phrases in a tiny conversation, no typing and no pressure. Norwegian has some of the simplest grammar of any European language, so real conversations come together quickly. Here are the first words you'll learn.

Your first Norwegian phrases
heihello
takkthank you
jeg heter…my name is…
hvordan går det?how are you?
ha detgoodbye

These are the exact phrases your first session teaches, and you'll use them in a real conversation, not just read them. Try it in the demo.

Common questions
Is Norwegian hard for beginners?

Norwegian is one of the easiest languages for an English speaker, with straightforward grammar and familiar words. Starting by speaking, rather than memorizing, makes the early weeks much easier to stick with.

What are the first Norwegian words I should learn?

The greetings and self-introduction below get you into a real exchange immediately, which is the fastest way to feel progress. You'll build out from there.

Do I need any experience?

None. The first session assumes you know nothing and walks you from zero to a short spoken conversation.
