  2. You learn a rare and difficult language and when you perfect at it, it you are able to communicate with both Swedes and Danes because there have many common linguistic elements.
  3. Norwegian is categorized in Germanic languages, and under North Germanic languages is West Nordic. So people who speak German can learn Norwegian pretty fast.
  4. For English-speaking people Norwegian is easier to learn. There are a few similarities to English in vocabulary, and in other traits of the language as well, including some of the grammar and sentence structure. However, like with any language, you will need to spend time and energy in order to learn Norwegian well.
