First of all, I am afraid I cannot do a Norwegian exchange if there is no real exchange in it. Teaching languages is a job that people are paid for. If you want to exchange Norwegian with me, please try to find something you can offer back. I am sorry for the directness. --- I am a Norwegian from the outskirts of Hamar, a city of about 30 000 habitants around 120 kilometers north of Oslo. Currently, I am a teacher at a lower secondary school (i.e. 8th to 10th grade) where I teach English and French. One never finishes learning, though. In addition to languages, I enjoy classical and film music, I play the clarinet and the piano, I like playing strategy and adventure games, and I also compose music when I feel up to it. For me, language is very much about speaking to other people. This entails an aspect of discovery, as learning a new language is more or less entering a new world where the combination of sounds is sometimes very different from one's native language. I have a great interest in linguistics, which, by the way, has lead me to make up an un-finished constructed language.
