KlikkNorskKlikkNorsk (CD-ROM) Nancy Aarsvold, Louis Janus, & Margaret Hayford O'Leary

Learn Norwegian with the click of a mouse!

KlikkNorsk is an interactive CD-ROM for both Mac and Windows consisting of a Norwegian phrase-a-day calendar, and a grammar overview with exercises. It is aimed at students who are at the beginning and intermediate levels of Norwegian.  Currently it is used with third semester students of Norwegian at St. Olaf College.
When you insert the CD-ROM, a web browser will open automatically. All files are provided on the CD so you do not need an Internet connection.

The program was developed by three experienced Norwegian language instructors: Nancy Aarsvold and Margaret Hayford O'Leary of St. Olaf College, and Louis Janus of the University of Minnesota. The instructions and explanations are in English so this can easily be used by people trying to learn Norwegian on their own. All phrases are pronounced by a native speaker.

Dictionaries

Norwegian English DictionaryNorwegian English Dictionary     by Einar Haugen  

For several decades the name, Einar Haugen, struck fear in many, many students of Norwegian.  It meant frequent visits to the language lab to listen to reel-to-reel tapes and late night dorm hours, but it also meant quality.  Students at Norwegian Lutheran colleges in America spent as much time memorizing dialogues from Spoken Norwegian (a prime language text by Haugen) as they did attending chapel and choir rehearsals!  Now the grand-daddy of Scandinavian professors is perhaps best known for his excellent dictionary.

This 60,000-word Norwegian-English dictionary lists the "bokmål" and "nynorsk" words in alphabetical order rather than treating them as two separate alphabets, and contains detailed information on grammar and pronunciation, cross-references and examples of usage.  Like Haugen, this highly regarded book has become the grand-daddy of all Norwegian-English dictionaries.
