Practice Assignment:Record yourself introducing yourself in Norwegian

Introduce yourself in Norwegian: practice assignment

In this practice assignment you prepare and record a short spoken introduction in Norwegian. The cards give you one sentence for each part of a classic self-presentation, the exercises help you say them aloud, and the assignment at the end turns them into your own recording.

What you will learn

• Hei! Jeg heter Anna — Hi! My name is Anna — heter = am called
• Jeg kommer fra Italia — I come from Italy — swap in your own country
• Jeg bor i Oslo — I live in Oslo — bor i + town
• Jeg er tretti år — I am thirty years old — gammel at the end is optional
• Jeg jobber som kokk — I work as a cook — no article after som
• Jeg snakker italiensk og litt norsk — I speak Italian and a little Norwegian — languages are written with a small letter
• Jeg liker å gå på tur — I like going hiking — liker å + verb
• Hyggelig å hilse på deg — Nice to meet you — said when you meet someone new

Practice questions

1. How do you say "I live in Bergen"? Options: Jeg kommer fra Bergen, Jeg bor i Bergen, Jeg heter Bergen.
2. "Jeg jobber som lærer" — what is left out compared with English? Options: the article "a", the verb, the subject.
3. Which word is written with a small letter in Norwegian? Options: Oslo, Italia, norsk.
4. What does "Jeg liker å gå på tur" mean? Options: I have to go, I like going hiking, I live on a hill.

Your assignment

Record a 30–60 second introduction on your phone. Use at least six of the sentences above, changing the name, country, town, age, job, languages and hobby to your own. Listen back once and check two things: is the verb always in second place, and did you leave out the article after som?

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

Introducing yourself is the first thing you do in a Norwegian class, a job interview or at a new workplace, and it is a common task in oral tests. Recording yourself lets you hear your own pronunciation and fix it before it matters.
