Record a video introduction

Record a video introduction in Norwegian

This lesson prepares you to introduce yourself on camera in Norwegian, for a class, an online community or a job application. Where the self-introduction assignment covers name, country and job, this one adds how long you have lived here, why you are learning Norwegian, your hobbies and your goal.

What you will learn

• Hei alle sammen! — Hi everyone! — greets a whole audience
• Velkommen til videoen min — Welcome to my video — min after the noun
• Jeg har bodd i Norge i to år — I have lived in Norway for two years — har bodd + i + length of time
• Jeg lærer norsk fordi … — I am learning Norwegian because … — give your real reason
• På fritiden liker jeg å … — In my free time I like to … — the verb comes before jeg
• Målet mitt er å … — My goal is to … — Målet mitt er å få jobb som sykepleier
• Takk for at dere så på! — Thanks for watching! — så = watched, past of se
• Vi snakkes! — Talk soon! — a friendly sign-off

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

Short video introductions are increasingly used in online courses and job applications. Speaking to a camera also builds confidence: you can rewatch, notice what to improve and record again.
