Last week, on the break before the Samfunnsøkonomi's test I decided to take it in Norwegian. I had gotten a 5+ on the first test, which I wrote in English and for 90 minutes I convinced myself that I would be able to do well in Norwegian and that I had that first good mark to "save" me.
After finishing the test I was quite disappointed and afraid that the teacher wasn't going to understand my attempted-Norwegian. Therefore, I was very happy today when I got my 5.
In my personal opinion, when learning Norwegian, it is not difficult to write or read or even speak. The hardest part is listening and understanding but I'm sure even that will become natural after a while.

You are absolutely correct, my "dear nephew" (or should I say "cousin-nephew" or even "nephew-cousin"?...), the hardest thing with a foreign language is being able to fully understand the locals! At first, I am sure you have opened your eyes wide in order to better understand the strange sounds people uttered but, from now on, you will end up finding yourself leading your eyes to a more relaxed and "normal position" which, in a near future, will be as "normal" as a "normal" person would be... This is the real challenge when learning a foreign language, Afonso, and I am quite sure of what I am saying to you! Keep up with the joneses and soon you will be there. Good luck and all the very best. "Uncle" Vasco
