Welcome to the home page for Norwegian 112 at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. These three sections have 80 of the 120 students taking Norwegian courses at St. Olaf this semester.

Norwegian 112 is a second semester Norwegian course and focuses on introductory Norwegian vocabulary, structures, and culture. The topics we will be studying are family, housing, work, health, and travel. We are using the Sett i gang curriculum package, including a textbook, workbook, multimedia CD-ROMs, and web exercises on the NorWords site.

St. Olaf is one of a few colleges and universities where students can use Norwegian to complete their foreign language requirment -- and beyond the requirement can study the language, literature, culture, and history of Norway in depth. In addition, St. Olaf students have many opportunities to study and travel in Norway. We recommend the Oslo International Summer School, the Oslo Year Program, the Scandinavian Urban Studies Term, Scandinavian Studies in Telemark, and Denmark's International Study Program.
