Living in Other, Norway

I am norwegian, and want to teach others the norwegian language through conversations. Hei! I’m Malin, a native Norwegian from the scenic west coast, where I live with my family and a lively crew of pets. My dialect, *Haugesundsk*, adds a touch of local flavor to our lessons—perfect if you want to sound authentically Norwegian! Though I’m studying medicine now, teaching Norwegian lets me share my love for languages and cultures (bonus: I’m learning Spanish too, so I *get* the struggle!). I also have a bachelor degree in Biochemistry, but because I like working with people, I chose to change my career direction to medicine. When I’m not hiking or traveling, I’m chatting about everything from fjords to family life—ideal if you want relaxed, real-life practice. As a teacher I am understanding that learning a new language is hard, since I am learning a new language my self right now (spanish). I will try to motivate you to talk as much as possible, because you learn best by doing. My teaching style is very casual. You can think of it as if you are at a cafe with your friend. We will be talking about different subjects, but I will give you new grammar here and there. We will first of all establish your level, and where to begin. If you want to talk about spesifikk subjects, for example hobbies, travel, everyday life, family, nature, biology and so on, we can adjust to that. For the lessons we will use the italki classroom. If there is any connection issues we will use Skype. If you prefer to use Skype instead of the italki classroom, please let me know before the...

I have been with Malin for over a month, taking two thirty-minute speaking classes weekly. I started off on a cusp between A1 and A2. With Malin, we would take a topic a series of questions regarding that topic and talk about that. But today, we had an off-the-cuff 30-minute spontaneous conversation 🤯 Something I didn't think I'd be able to have this early on in my Norwegian journey. Malin is super easy to speak to and engaging; her corrections are well-placed and not pedantic. She is a fun person to talk to, and talking to her has helped me gain more confidence in my skills and improve them. I might still talk like a slightly cleverer toddler, but at least I am talking without hindrance and shyness. I cannot recommend Malin enough. She is great.

I've probably had close to 200 lessons with Malin now over the last year and a half, and my speaking and listening fluency has grown enormously. I've also learned a lot about life in Norway. We do hour long lessons and they always seem too short (at least to me...). She really makes learning fun, and can speak and teach either in a very lovely Haugesundsk dialekt or a more Bokmaalisk one. Highest possible recommendation.

Malin est une très bonne tutrice de conversation norvégienne. Elle est accueillante et patiente, elle permet à la conversation d'évoluer et ainsi nous aide à développer notre vocabulaire dans la spontanéité.

Malin's Norwegian class is truly exceptional. Her engaging teaching style, combined with her deep knowledge of the language, makes each lesson not only educational but also incredibly enjoyable. She has a unique ability to make complex concepts easy to understand, creating a welcoming and effective learning environment. Her passion for the language and culture of Norway shines through in every class, inspiring her students to immerse themselves fully in the learning experience.
