Norwegian A1 level test
This short test checks the core of A1 Norwegian (CEFR level A1): gender and the definite ending on nouns, the present tense, the first question words, simple numbers and the position of ikke. If the cards feel easy and you pass the quiz, move on to the A2 test.

- bilen, huset — the car, the house
- Jeg snakker norsk — I speak Norwegian (present tense -r)
- Hva heter du? — What is your name?
- Hvor bor du? — Where do you live?
- Jeg har to barn — I have two children
- Jeg snakker ikke tysk — I do not speak German (ikke after the verb)

How the lesson works
Start with the flashcards: each card shows one item with a picture cue and a short tip. Then you listen and tap the right picture, match words to meanings, say each one out loud, build the sentence from word tiles, and listen and type what you hear. Finish with the quiz: a wrong answer costs a heart, and at the end you can practise your mistakes or restart the lesson. Completing the lesson earns XP and keeps your daily streak alive.
Why it matters
A level test only helps if it tests the level. These eight points are what every A1 learner needs to get right before the next step; if one of them trips you up, go back to the Nouns and Articles or Verbs and Conjugation lesson first.
