German vs Norwegian - FAQ
- Is German or Norwegian harder to learn?
- We won't rank them: it depends on what you already speak. German changes its verbs according to who is acting, while Norwegian does not - which is usually the biggest early difference in effort.
- Can I practise speaking both?
- Yes. The tutor speaks both German and Norwegian aloud, and both support pronunciation practice with your microphone.
