Norwegian Classes - Winter '10During the winter season of 2010, The Scandinavian School in San Francisco (SSSF) will offer two series of Norwegian language courses at the Beginning and Intermediate levels. The classes will be held at SSSF, 20 Woodside Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94127. The session will consist of 8 weekly lessons - each lesson an hour and a half. The classes are small (max. 10 students per class) to allow for excellent individual attention. See the course descriptions below for more details. All classes are filled on a first come first serve basis - please get your applications in early to ensure a spot in the class. The Schedule: The Beginner I class will be held on Thursday evenings 7:00pm - 8:30pm, starting on February 4 and ending on March 25. Intermediate 2 class is on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm - 8:00pm. Starts on February 10 and ends on March 31.
Some of our language teachers can offer individual private lessons for $50 per hour, or $80 per hour for 2-to-4 students. Please contact our school for more information or to set up an appointment with one of our teachers directly.

Send this to: The Classes Beginner: Upon completion of this course the students will be able to speak and understand easy-to-learn sentences and expressions commonly used when visiting Norway. The course will focus on correct pronunciation, simple conversation, vocabulary expansion, and basic grammar. Topics taught will include numbers, letters, food, days-of-the-week, months, seasons, and other useful words and phrases. Weekly homework will be assigned.
The textbook used for all Norwegian language classes at SSSF is called "Teach Yourself Norwegian" by Margaretha Danbolt Simons (2004 Edition). It is recommended that the students get the version that comes with two CDs, so they can also practice listening and pronunciation on their own. The students are expected to obtain their own textbook and bring it with them to the first night of class. Teacher Bios Kristian Nergaard is a native of Oslo who has lived in the Bay Area since 1975. He has been teaching Norwegian language at SSSF since he started the program in early 2005. Kristine Tveten is a native of Oslo, Norway and fluent in Norwegian, English and French. Kristine lived in Oslo through high school and later studied at the University of Toulouse in Toulouse, France where she received undergraduate and graduate degrees in Economics. After university, she lived and worked in Oslo for a few years before relocating to San Francisco, where she later met her husband Howard. In 2008, Kristine resigned from her corporate job to raise their newly born daughter Hanna. Kristine and her family live in North Beach.
