Hi, my name is Lilja, and I am about to finish my PhD in linguistics. I have always been fascinated by grammar and language, and love learning languages that are as different as possible from the ones I know.
I have lived and studied in the UK for 8 years, and by now I speak English at mostly the same level as my native Norwegian. I love travelling, and I have also lived in Argentina, China and Israel, in addition to Norway where I grew up. I have also spent a lot of time in India and Uganda, where I did fieldwork for my research. I love seeing new places, experiencing new cultures, and meeting new people.
Other interests of mine include literature, camping, hiking and nail polish.Ich als Lehrkraft
I have experience with studying languages in a lot of different settings, and in my teaching I apply the methods that have worked best for me. I will adapt the lessons to you, your current level, and your goals. I find the immersion method to be the most effective, so I will aim to teach in the target language from the beginning. If you are just starting out, don't worry, I will adapt the language and vocabulary to your level, so that you understand.
My research background is in both grammar and pronounciation, so I can explain the rules and nuances of Norwegian and English to you, and guide your pronounciation. If you want a deeper understanding, I am always happy to go into the details! Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
In the lessons, I will use the target language as much as possible, so that you get used to hearing and speaking it. I will help you create flashcards, which I find to be the most effective way to learn vocabulary. For beginners, we can go over the basics, and I will help you be able to have a short conversation in no time. For more advanced learners, we can pracitice speaking, look at different texts, discuss a book, or focus on grammar, depending on what you need. I can also help with academic writing in English.
I have a lot of experience with children, and so I am happy to teach both children and adults at any level.Mein Unterrichtsmaterial

I have been taking Norwegian lessons with Lilja for a month now and can wholeheartedly recommend her!
Lilja is very nice and corrects any mistakes I make instantly in a friendly manner. She is great at explaining grammar rules in an easy way and making sure that I get a lot of speaking practice.
I have taken many Norwegian classes over the last few years, both in group settings at language schools but also private lessons, and am very glad that I found Lilja. I feel like I am making more progress than before since her lessons are actually adapted to my level of Norwegian. Every class is interesting and super fun, I always look forward to them!

Lilja is an outstanding teacher, knowledgable, skilled, deeply embedded in both languages we are using, able to reach into metaphors and different meanings with ease. She has a warm, encouraging, easy manner which helps build confidence as well as skill. I am thoroughly enjoying my classes and would give Lilja my highest recommendation.

I’ve just started having lessons with Lilja, and I can already tell she’s an amazing teacher. She’s always so engaged in the lessons and makes incredibly valuable corrections to my Norwegian.
I really appreciate her help with my Norwegian so far.

I can definitely recommend Liljas lessons very much! I have had two lessons with her so far and have already booked weekly lessons for the next two months. She is very patient and supportive during the lesson, how ever long you need to find your words; and corrects words, pronounciation and grammar in a very friendly and helpful way. She also provides a great structure in both casual conversation practice as well as textbook work! If you are thinking of adding some Norwegian lessons I can only recommend that you try a first lessons with her because even late in the evening I always leave her lessons energized and motivated to learn more Norwegian :).
