Do you know if they are used in other parts of the world?
 
 
I've never come across them. I might open a thread in the tavern. Someone here would know.

I just finished the 3rd lesson. I realized that I couldn't do the lesson without entering the special characters, and I thought that it may be useful to others here.

Jeg liker hjelpe.

Sorry to disturb guys, but here is an online dictionary
 
Allow me one little comment. The correct term for "learn" is "lre" - not "erfare" which has a related meaning, but is normally not used in this connection. 
 
Usage of learn/lre:
to learn Norwegian = at lre Norsk ~ He is learning = han lrer
 
"Erfare" is normally used in the sense: I have learned that this guy was xxxx - It was brought to my attention that xxx, and so on.
In Denmark the word is a bit outdated (but still valid), and I believe that applies for norwegian as well - you only rarely hear a young person using it.

Thank you for Correction.
That Dictionary is not good for verbs.

Yikes, I'm already falling behind.  So, are we going to have like a day or two for catching up once a week?

Sure we can do that. Do you want to set up a specific day for that like Fridays or something?

What language group is complete without its members worshiping the country where the language is spoken?

Here is a beautiful slide show with the modest name called,
Norway: The Most Beautiful Country in World

If you look around on the related videos, you will find one called, "Norwegian Beauties." I thought it was going to be about the beautiful architectural and natural sights of the country. Instead it is what I would have called, "Norwegian Cuties."

Hvordan gammel er dine to barn?

Yes, that would work for me.  I guess whatever day is best for everyone.
