How To Talk About Tech And The Internet In Norwegian

Learning a language online is becoming an increasingly popular option. When you can’t make it to Norway in person, using the internet in Norwegian is a solid backup. It won’t be exactly the same experience, but as technology advances, it gets easier to meet native speakers of the language and immerse yourself in the experience.

One of the biggest differences about learning the language online is the initial vocabulary you’ll need to study. While in Norway you’ll need to learn how to say “hello” and how to order food, you’ll need more technical vocab on the internet.

To get you started, we put together a list of all the basic vocabulary you’ll need to start using the internet in Norwegian. Once you get a handle on this, you can change your language settings and start getting a little language exposure every time you log on. And if you want to hear each term pronounced by a native speaker, just hit the play button next to the words and phrases.
