Norwegian C1 level test
This test checks whether you can switch to the formal register C1 expects: precise connectors such as ettersom, dersom and til tross for at, the formal hvorvidt, framing phrases for meetings and essays, and polite hedging. Pass it and try the C2 test.

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
At C1 the challenge is no longer grammar but tone. Reports, applications and formal emails in Norway use dersom, ettersom and hvorvidt where speech uses hvis, fordi and om, and choosing the right one makes your writing sound professional.
