Format:Audio CD
Brilliant introduction to the language! All you need to know for the basics - travelling to Norway, sightseeing, using the telephone, writing letters, using the telephone, Christmas, Easter, getting a job, etc. Highly accessible and highly recommended.

Format:Audio CD
The book and CD are both very clear and, in particular, introduce you to new words and language rules within conversational contexts - much the best way of learning a language. The course also focuses on vocabulary that is most useful in real life, the 'story' used to create the conversational contexts being so relevant to when you come to live in Oslo for the first time. Highly recommended.

Format:Kindle Edition with Audio/Video
This book is great, I had the paper/cd version and was thrilled to see a kindle version released so that I didn't have to carry round the book all the time. I was disappointed however to find it didn't work on my kindle stating that the audio was not supported on my device. How can you sell a audio book for kindle which doesn't work on the kindle!
It was working well on my iphone/itouch however until the latest kindle app came out today (18th March 2012). Now it also says that the audio content is not supported on my device (itouch - haven't tried the phone yet). I'm really disapointed with that but hopefully it can be fixed since it was working.
If you can get the audio to work on you device/application then this is good!
