norwegian for, like, dummies.

some quick lessons i have learned:

1. course and kiss are the same word. or atleast to non-native speakers sound that way. so i've already propositioned a professor. sweet.

2. ø = ur
3. å = or
4. y = eu (say it with me. just like if you were wedging a pencil between your upper lip and nose, which i know i do pretty much all the time...eu)
5. æ = a (as in cat. you'd think that would mean it was a superfluous vowel, but noooo)

6. did you know that english is the only language where policy and politics are two different words? ha.

stay tuned...
