I believe I’m at a B1 level in Norwegian, maybe a lower level in spoken Norwegian. I need to practice my speaking ability, so just having informal conversations with a native or fluent speaker is really helpful, no need for teaching background! Also, as I will take bergenstesten, some corrections on my texts would be great too! I have a broad vocabulary in English, and an accent that many describe as easy to understand. I’m open to both have conversations or lessons in English, and to give feedback on written texts. :)

    When we (my friends and I) were children, we had no internet.

    <em>or--></em>When my friends and I were children<em>

    </em>That was over 20 years ago. We liked music in English but we didn't know the lyrics. How did we know what they were saying?

    <em>or </em>How did we learn what they were saying<em>

    </em>We listened to the music and tried to write the words we knew. If we didn't know the word, we wrote it as best as we could and tried to find it in a dictionary. Then if we saw the same word/phrase in a magazine,<em> (some magazine sounds quite informal) </em>we tried to remember our mistakes. <em>or</em> We tried to learn from our mistakes<em>, otherwise it sounds like the mistake is the important thing.</em>

    I'm not good at English but I can understand English speech.

    Dømt til Dødsstraff Dagen har kommet. Cristo sitter i det mørke cellet, vann drypper i bakgrunnen. Av alle mulige skjebner hadde han aldri tenkt om dette. Det skulle bli en kort jobb: to menn, smykkebutikken, søndag formiddag (skjeldent travelt), en pistol men ikke viljen, eller behovet, til å bruker den. Slike jobber var barnespill for Cristo.

    Krisen kom ikke med eierne, som var livende redde, som vanlig, men med Pedro, kollegaen hans. En overvektig, grisk spanjol, med smak for mer enn kun mat.

    Cristo hadde våpenet, og dermed var det hans plikt å bli stående ved døra mens Pedro fylte posen. 30 sekunder var det de hadde blitt enige om, men det virket mye lengre da Pedro nådd den fjerde display. Iallfall var det tilsyndelatende nok tid for en hverdags helt utenfor butikken å kjenne igjen det som pågikk innenfor. Han brukt en brannslukker til å slå Cristo ut, en fakta han lært fra advokaten.

    Gjør aldri jobb om dagen. Noen leksjoner blir lært for sent. Rotten graver i hjørnet. Tauet svinger i vinden.

    Yesterday, I went shopping and saw a man who was not shopping, but just using his smartphone.

    <em>or</em>-->but was just playing with his smartphone

    <em>or</em>-->but was just on his phone

    Not one, but several men, were doing the same. I wondered why they were using their smartphones instead of shopping. Although, looking at them carefully, I realized that they all came with their partners. The women stood next to those men were choosing the items seriously.

    ^<em>This phrase makes sense but sounds odd. Use a word like actual, or rephrase to emphasise THEY were shopping.

    -</em>The women stood next to these men were doing the actual shopping.<em>

    </em>-The women stood next to these men were the ones doing the shopping.

    The men were bored with shopping

    or-->bored of shopping (<em>sounds more natural)</em>

    and were on their phones to kill time. I felt it was not too long ago that I often saw a man standing next to a woman, waiting with a tired look, saying "Hey, have you decided? Either one is fine!", but the time has changed!<em>

    or</em>-->but the times have changed <em>(sounds more natural)</em>

    <em>or</em>-->but how the times have changed! <em>(This is a common phrase)</em>

    I was impressed to find that.

    <em>or</em>-->I was impressed to discover this. (Better word choice)

    Although it seems that women spending a lot of time shopping has not changed. How about in your country?

    You have a very good grasp of English, and the story made me laugh. As a guy, I think it's much better nowadays with smarthphones :).

    In the UK, "smartphone" is not often used, and sounds unnatural if repeated a lot, so we just say "He's on his phone" or "He's using his phone".

    Lykke til med norsk òg!

    The School System

    Admittedly, the school system in Russia sucks. Teachers with neither authority, nor the desire to teach. In fact, they are slaves, and they make new slaves of their students. Of course there are exceptions, as with any rule. I have to explain this to my children, so that they will not become slaves. #moreфон2018

    Have you ever been stuck in the past and been unable to move forward? You want to move on with your life but you can't. You have tried many times but there's something pulling you down. Your body wants to stand but your brain can't manage. You shake your body time after time but the brain resists. Many hands try to help by catching yours, but you can't stand. You're still stuck and you can't move away, until you hear the sound he's making/ hear what he's telling you: "You are strong, you can do it, don't give up. The future is going to be OK". Yeah you felt it! You can move your leg, you can stand, power is running though your body again, and is telling the brain that it's ready.

    Future : I will be a pilot someday. I am going to the supermaket this afternoon. I am having lunch with my friend tomorrow. Present : Are you sick ? I work for/at this company. He is doing the dishes. Past : When I was a child, my mother said/used to say : "Have you finished watching the TV?" I had fun last night. Mixed tense : When I was sitting on the bench waiting for my date, a beautiful bird flew above me and shat on me. I thought WTF, this will leave a very bad impression on her. Since that day, I avoid the open public square when I'm waiting for someone.

    Blir migrasjon en fordel for Norge? Siden 1970-tallet har nordmenn opplevd raske endringer på grunn av funn og utvinning a drivverdig olje på kontinentalsokkelen, i livskvalitet, utdanningsmuligheter, kvalitet på helsevesenet og, ikke minst, en stor økning i gjennomsnittlig inntekt. Alt nevnte har gjort Norge til et tiltalende alternativ til de, i andre land, som ønsker å forbedre sin fremtiden ved å migrere. Mens nordmenn blir bedre utdannet har det blitt vanskeligere å fylle lavbetalt og ufaglært jobber, og så arbeidsgivere har sett på de nylige kommet. Innvandreres vilje å jobber i lavbetalt (og ofte kjedelige) stillinger er en unektelig fordel av migrasjon. Denne fordelen kommer, sier noen, på bekostning av samfunnets erosjon og, til slutt, ødeleggelse. Jeg tror dette fryktspredende synet er urealistisk. Migrasjon har alltid vært en del av vår verden, og mange land har vist at det er mulig å få mange innvandrere og bevare nasjonens identitet, ved å støtte ens rett til å leve hvordan de velger. På den måten kan Norge være et sted hvor folk fra verden rundt lever og utrykker sine troer mens de følger landets juridiske og sammfunnsmessige regler. Det er også verdt å merke seg at mange som kommer til norge flytter fra land der de ble undertrykket av myndighetene på grunn av sine tross og etnisitet. Jeg mener oppriktig at Norge bør få nytte av migrasjons økonomiske fordelene og danne et rikere og mer variert sammfunn med innvandrerbefolkningens kulturer og tradisjoner.
