"This is an excellent dictionary, prepared with all the attention a good lexicographer pays to every detail and with all the typographical differentiation of various categories of information."

Format:Paperback
Routledge have a great tradition of publishing accurate, modern grammars of lesser taught languages, and this particular volume carries on in the same reliable, comprehensive manner. Although slightly old-fashioned in its approach - chapters are centred around parts of speech rather than modes of communication - rules are put simply and clearly, with important exceptions neatly outlined.
Where the book is lacking is in its omission of exercises in each unit. Because of this, it seems very much intended as a reference rather than a course book, although it is possible to work your way through and learn Norwegian grammar.
The book covers the standard bokmål variety of Norwegian.

Good book when used only for it's purpose.
17 April 1999
Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent Grammar book, in fact, language would be easier to learn if a book was made in this format for every language. The Authors, Ase-Berit and Rolf Strandskogen, are professors of Norwegian as a foreign language at the University of Oslo. This book tells nothing about Norweigan culture, it is not a Norwegian dictionary, it alone will not help you learn Norwegian. But, when used specifically for Norwegian grammar, it is the best book you can buy; and because grammar is essential in learning a foreign language, and speaking a native language correctly, this book is a must-have if you are learning Norwegian on your own.

By far the Best

Format:Paperback
Åse-Berit and Rolf Strandskogen have put together one of the best organized grammars in any foreign language. Organized by part of speech; it highlights all the basic rules as well as some subtle pearls of the Norwegian language. Not a course in itself, but a wonderful addition to any of the comtemporary Norwegian language courses currently published. I highly recommend it for any level learner.
