I live in america's penis and my salary doesn't afford the ability to travel to winter tourist destinations

How much would you accept a foreigner moving there if he learned the language

just asking because i am sick of living in endless urban sprawl here

like Icelandic from someone having a stroke
that Faroese palatalization and strange vowel sounds makes it really difficult to understand though

we are very accepting. but you will never learn the language. I have never experienced a foreigner being fluent. (other than a dane who moved here when he was 17, 75 years now)
>stoke
ye, feel the same about icelandic. sounds like a very drunk man having a stroke.

What makes it so hard to learn compare to other scandi languages

>How much would you accept a foreigner moving there if he learned the language
>just asking because i am sick of living in endless urban sprawl here
Just learn Norwegian and they will understand you. Don't learn Faroese, too hard. And don't learn Danish, because it's a garbage language for pigs.

also what jobs hire most there, what's the labour market like

>What makes it so hard to learn compare to other scandi languages
Much more complicated grammar. Also some weird sounds.

The signs above the two doors - what do they mean?

i've thought about it, norwegian looks easy to learn for someone who speaks a germanic language

just the grammar really, people never learn the genders (3) and cases(4).
mainland scandi languages don't have gender or cases.
>Just learn Norwegian and they will understand you
true, and they can keep speaking norwegian/danish/swedish, but after a few months everyone expects them to understand faroese.

I work with a dane, who has been here one year. He speaks danish, we others speak faroese.
couldn't say really, always need for fish factory workers. Loads of east euros and norwegians building stuff here currently. Tourism used to be booming in recent years, but corona has put an end to that.

It is, most Germans who move to Norway and try to learn the language speak really well after 6 months.

Where would you recommend in Norway to live, specifically to get away from city and still be able to have a job that does not involve fish

>The signs above the two doors - what do they mean?
It's a house with two appartments. Pic is from a tourist area and this house is used by people who come here to go skiing.

I'm guessing that those are the names of each appartment, but they're really place names. "Abborrtjärn" means "Perch tarn" and "Nacksjön" means "Nack lake". Probably just places nearby.

>i've thought about it, norwegian looks easy to learn for someone who speaks a germanic language
Yes. It's basically Swedish but with Danish loanwords, pronounced as if they were Swedish. Hence why Norwegians understand both Swedish and Danish very well.

>true, and they can keep speaking norwegian/danish/swedish, but after a few months everyone expects them to understand faroese.
>I work with a dane, who has been here one year. He speaks danish, we others speak faroese.
I love how you say that we're expected to learn faroese after a few months yet that Dane is still speaking Danish after a year.

>I love how you say that we're expected to learn faroese after a few months yet that Dane is still speaking Danish after a year.
Danes have a colonial superiority complex and are also cucks
any language can be learnt given the effort and coming from a Germanic language Faroese is a walk in the park compared to languages like Russian, Latin, Greek or basically every non-Indo-European language in the world

During the mid 00's there was a lot of Dutch families who moved to Norway to escape the big city. Most of them moved to small villages, but I think a lot of them regret it when they realized how quiet and remote it actually is. You have to give me a bit more information before I can give you any advice. What do you want to work with, do you have any education? Do you want in a village or a small city? Do you want to live a place where the climate is not too cold? What kind of nature do you like? Fjords? Sea? Mountains? Fields? Norway is huge in area. North and South Norway are extremely different.

Because if he speaks faroese, he will sound like a child, getting every gender and case wrong. They might say a few faroese words here and there, but never a full sentence, because they can never learn to speak it properly. After a few decades in the faroes their language turns into some weirdo dano-faroese pidgin. Many such cases.

like this guy

this is what twenty years as a danish speaker in the faroes does to your language. (mix between full on danish and faroese with wrong grammar and danish accent)

>Danes have a colonial superiority complex and are also cucks
Eh, how are they cucks?

>any language can be learnt given the effort and coming from a Germanic language Faroese is a walk in the park compared to languages like Russian, Latin, Greek or basically every non-Indo-European language in the world
Learning a language is still hard, especially as you grow older. You're already at least trilingual in Germanic languages so you should be especially good at learning those.

But for an adult Dutchman to start learning a North Germanic language? Of course he can do it, but don't be surprised if it takes a year or more.

Danes truly are pigs. Why don't you just join Iceland instead?

>. You're already at least trilingual in Germanic languages
two and a half, my Danish/Blandinavian is rudimentary
>Learning a language is still hard
yeah, that's the point, learning any language, especially as an adult is hard
adjusting to a different phonology is hard and something most adult learners never master, learning new grammar is difficult and learning 10 thousand new words or so takes a long time

but the point also is that for Faroese, Icelandic or any other Germanic language you have a massive leg up in all of those, especially the vocabulary which is the biggest hurdle for any foreign language
I'd guess the most difficult Germanic language would still be easier for a Dutch speaker than just French, Spanish or Indonesian which rarely make any top 10 lists for most difficult languages

>how are they cucks?

Never had that problem in Norway. Danes who move to Norway try speak as clear as possible, and they also do not use words that Norwegians don't understand. To be fair, Norwegians are much worse to "danify" their language hen they move Denmark. Look at Ståle Solbakken, he does not use one single Danish word even though he has lived 15 years in Denmark.

danes are alright.
i love talking faroese to a dane and he responds in danish. makes me feel like a true multicultural.
(don't call me a unionist pig)

Yes, every Dane is the same. You have a binary and lazy thinking. I suggest you to open your mind a bit more. It makes life a bit more interesting.
