Six friends host every subject
Lars, Giulia, Kofi, Diego, Aisha and Priya are Mondosol’s fictional cast. They meet at Café Mondo in Hønefoss, and each one hosts a subject, so every lesson, page and post has a familiar guide. They are illustrated characters, not real people.
Lars Haugen
A calm former carpenter turned hiking guide. Says little, and every sentence lands.
Sofia Esposito
A Naples-born chef who runs the Café Mondo kitchen and feeds people when she is worried.
Diego Ramírez
A street musician who came for one summer festival and stayed. Plays Café Mondo on Fridays.
Aisha Rahman
Digital skills and studying in Norway
A computer science student who fixes everyone’s phone and notices everything.
Priya
A former luxury-hotel manager who now runs holiday rentals around Hønefoss.
From Italian kitchens to Norwegian fjords
Every lesson is grounded in the real world, so what you learn today stays with you.
