Summary: Good for the intermediate beginner
Review: I'm in the military and began learning Norwegian for an upcoming exercise. I found this book rather informative, but too fast paced for the beginner. Luckily this was my third Norwegian instruction book.I would reccommend that beginners start out with the book "Norwegian in 10 minutes a Day", as this will give you a basic understanding of the pronunciation by actually translating it phonetically next to the 'norsk ord'. As you go through the book, you will become used to the pronunciation of the words rather than having to flip to the pronunciation pages in other books. Once you have finished your "10 minutes a Day" book, I would recommend this book (with the tapes) or the Teach Yourself series. I managed to study about 30 minutes a day for 6 weeks and scored fairly decent on the Defense Language Proficiency Test (1/1+). This language is fairly easy for English speakers, so good luck!

Summary: This is a good book to begin
Review: If you are going to begin to learn Norwegian from this book I would strongly recommend to buy it with the audio cassettes. The book is really good with the grammar and vocabulary but you must have an idea of the grammar terminology to get the most from this book.
This book helped me when I moved to Norway so I could have a "survival" vocabulary once in Norway and be very independent in my daily activities.

Summary: Just great, especially the cassettes
Review: This book contains grammar, vocabulary, conversations, just everything. This book is designed for beginners who have never learned norwegian. But after studying this book, you will have no problem with simple conversations. I particularly liked the cassettes. The narator explains norwegian easy to understand. You can learn norwegian simply by hearing the cassettes. I recommend you to buy cassettes because the norwegian language has a weird accent.
