Norwegian pronunciation quiz: what this lesson covers
This free interactive quiz is part of the Mondosol Learn to speak Norwegian course. It checks the sounds from the alphabet and pronunciation lesson: the three extra vowels æ, ø and å, the silent letters in hv and a final d, and the soft kj and sh sounds in skj and sj.
What you will learn
- være — æ close to the a in bad.
- søt — ø like the vowel in fur, lips rounded.
- på — å like the o in more.
- hvor — silent h: say vor.
- god — silent final d: sounds like go.
- kjøre — kj, a soft hissing sound.
- skje — skj sounds like sh.
- sju — sj also sounds like sh.
Practice questions
- In “hvor”, which letter is silent? (v, h, r)
- Which word starts with an sh sound? (god, på, skje)
- How is “god” pronounced? (like English go, with a strong d, like English good)
- Which letter sounds like the o in more? (æ, ø, å)
How the lesson works
Start with the flashcards: tap to flip, listen, and say each word out loud. Then practise the same words in quick rounds — listen and tap the right picture, match the pairs, build the sentence, listen and type — before a short quiz with hearts. A wrong answer costs a heart; at the end you can practise your mistakes or restart. Finish to earn XP and keep your daily streak alive.
Why it matters
Norwegian spelling does not always match the sound. Once you know which letters are silent and how æ, ø, å, kj and skj sound, you can read new words aloud with confidence and people understand you the first time.
