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
The checkout is one of the first places you speak Norwegian every week. The cashier’s questions come fast and always in the same order, so once you recognise pose, medlemskort and Det blir, you can answer without switching to English.
