Hello, I’m Henrik.
Let’s be honest: The Norwegian you learn on Duolingo is not the Norwegian you hear on a construction site or in a logistics warehouse.
I work full-time in the logistics industry in Norway. I know that when you are out on a job, you don’t need to analyze poetry—you need to understand your foreman, follow safety regulations (HMS), and actually get the joke when your colleagues are laughing in the lunch room.
If you want to survive your first week on the job—or want to stop feeling like an outsider at lunch—let's get to work.Me as a Teacher
I am not a traditional teacher with a textbook. I am an industrial professional who has taught over 450 lessons.
My goal is simple: to help you speak the kind of Norwegian that earns you respect at work. I believe in direct, honest feedback—just like you get on the job site. If you sound too stiff or like a "textbook robot," I will tell you. We skip the grammar drills and focus on communication that gets the job done.
(I also offer Industrial & Business English coaching for professionals who need to navigate international workplaces). My lessons & teaching style
Real workplace vocabulary: The names of tools, how to give and take orders, and how to talk about safety without sounding unsure.
Direct Feedback: In the industry, we speak straight from the gut. I will do the same with you to fix your mistakes quickly.
No Fluff: Whether we are practicing for an interview or reviewing an HMS manual, everything we do is designed to make you safer and more confident on the job.My teaching material

We reviewed the alphabet & worked on vowels. Great feedback on my pronunciation. Henrik is passionate about getting the right pronunciation which is exactly what I am looking for. Takk!!

I really enjoyed my first Norwegian lesson with Henrik! I’ve recently started learning Norwegian for work. I have a background in German and English, and a bit of Danish from school. Until today, I had only read and listened to Norwegian, but never actually spoken it, so it was incredibly helpful to learn about the nuances of pronunciation. I also got to learn a bit about Norwegian culture and history. Thanks again!

Another good lesson with my specific requests/requirements for Henrik.
Have tasks I can work on outside of our session, and we had a productive topic talk where we dove into some important details related to my specific use and interests for learning Norwegian.
