Sons of Norway offers an excellent member benefit, Norwegian for Reading Comprehension. This unique online course focuses on reading Norwegian for general understanding. The program covers the many historical forms of the Norwegian language, and teaches innovative reading strategies for understanding anything from modern web pages to old immigrant letters.
This course is not quite like any other. Unlike traditional language-learning programs, this course will not teach you to understand spoken Norwegian, or to speak or write sentences on your own. Instead, the goal is to help you read texts written in any form of Norwegian for basic comprehension.
The intention is not to train you to translate every single word with total precision, but rather to identify the key concepts, and come to solid conclusions about what a text means.
To get started, sign in to the Members Login section of the Sons of Norway Headquarters website. Once you're in, go to Member Resources and choose Learn Norwegian.
