How To Talk About The Weather In Norwegian
One you’ve gotten past “Hello” in Norwegian, it can be difficult to know where to go.

Fortunately, there’s one topic that you can count on to get you out of your conversational jam: the weather. Sure, learning some basic Norwegian weather vocab won’t ensure that you’ll become a master of small talk in the language, but it certainly can’t hurt.
