One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2009 I stayed in Shanghai and took a beginners course in Mandarin Chinese. A fun experience which provided the stepstone needed to continue learning on my own.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you meet me face to face, I can teach you how to pronounce these commom Norwegian phrases. They may come in handy, especially if you visit Trondheim:

1. Ka farsken, e det kaffe i karsken? - What the f***, is there coffee in the karsk? (Useful if you want to become wasted)
2. Vil du værra me mæ hjem i natt? - Do you want to come home with me tonight? (Useful if you are wasted and meet someone interesting at a bar)
3. Ha dæ vækk dett spøkels! - Go away, you ghost! (Useful if you have been thrown out from the bar and encounter an unpleasant person in a dark street)
