Learning Strategies

We delve into the intricate and often humorous interplay between these two neighboring cultures – Norway and Sweden. Much like Newton's laws of thermodynamics, the principles of conversation dynamics between Norwegians and Swedes can be observed and understood through a few key laws:

First Law: The Law of Politeness Conservation
In any conversation between a Norwegian and a Swede, politeness is neither created nor destroyed but merely transferred. Each party carefully navigates the exchange, ensuring that respect and civility remain balanced and intact.

Second Law: The Principle of Understatement Equilibrium
Understatements in Norwegian-Swedish dialogue tend to seek equilibrium. When one party downplays an event or achievement, the other instinctively matches this tone, creating a harmonious balance of modesty and humor.

Third Law: The Entropy of Misunderstandings
As the complexity of conversation increases, so does the potential for misunderstandings. These are often caused by the subtle nuances and cultural references unique to each nation. Yet, this entropy is often countered by the shared history and mutual respect between Norwegians and Swedes, leading to resolution and clarity.

Join us as we explore these dynamics and uncover the fascinating, and often understated, art of Norwegian-Swedish communication.

As a beginner level language learners, you can study reading in a simple word. But, simple words like what? You must be wondering when you read the title of this column. The first words you should read are: Practice reading numbers and colors. Yes, it matters. Because when you study Indonesian with materials such as BIPA, you will be invited to read simple conversational texts where usually simple conversations will discuss questions like "What time is it?" then you have to answer with Numbers, right?
Apart from learning to use file books, when you are a traveler and are going to Indonesia, of course you will use a lot of money and you have to know how to say it in Indonesian. Of course you can actually use English, but remember when you are a foreigner in another country, they will be happy if you can use that country's language, especially Indonesians.
So, feel free to learn numbers and colors as a beginner
