Love like you've never been hurt before.

1. No, they don't do that here. If you have a job offer in Norway, want to study here or have a Norwegian fiancé, wife or husband, you can apply, but it's not easy, I have heard of people getting mentally ill because of the process.

2. You can't ^^,

I am already mentally deranged, so there is no issue there. Looks like spouse is the way I'll go.

do you know anybody in the market for a handsome, intelligent, strong, crazy husband with a unicorn obsession and an affinity for computers and cars?

Both, it is getting easier in using it this year, im at the point where i can hear it and answer without thinking in english. but still at a basic simple level.
pronounciating the words is the most frustrating for me and putting long sentences together is still a tab difficult.
At the moment im working in Denmark and that does not help me. one month to go and i will be back in Norway working. can't wait. ha det

I think that's very good. I'm not sure, but sometimes it seems like English-speaking people have more difficulties with pronounciation.

Btw; when I tried to learn English, I read Harry Potter and the Prisoner From Azkaban. In the beginning, I didn't understand anything, but after a while it got easier, and when I finished the book I could read fluently. Maybe you could read the same book in Norwegian, it makes it easier to write long sentences. It's called Harry Potter og fangen fra Azkaban in Norwegian.

Oh, that's good Ha det

i have a question i recently visited some relatives in Norway And Sweden

norway being the better prettier girls. rrrr

i was wondering since i forget if my norwege(?) cousins did this to.

but do you say "Jah" and why do "you" over pronounce it ?

like jAAAAAAh. sort of starts calm then shouts in the middle then the (h) just softens it out. (i laughed everytime they randomly said that)

Hihi

Do you know in what kind of situation they said it? Because "jah" sounds like "ja", which means "yes", and unless I am really annoyed, I wouldn't say it like that. But for example if you're a teenager, and your mother would tell you to come down to eat, and you were in the middle of something you concidered important, then you probably would say it like that, but normally "ja" is pronouced really fast.
