Today Anna and I went to a Icehockey game together. We sat right behind the player bench which was such a nice change of perspective because you could really see the players faces! During the game also the mascot of the Ilves joined the kids in front of us for a bit with was heartwarming to see. The gemae ended 4:1 for Ilves! Go Ilves!
I told Anna that Icehockey is not very popluar in Norway, as we are both German we both know how germans feel, so we concentrated on my Norwegian knowledge and what I could teach today. I also told Anna that Biathlon (nor: skiskytting) is with cross country skiing the most popluar sport in Norway.
Then I started with teaching Anna some basics about the Norwegian language. In fact (and a fact many people are very surprised about) Norway has two offical languages which are called Nynosrk and Bokmål. I also tought her some of the basic numbers. Guess by yourself which is which and check out Annas post to see the solution!
en, to, tre, fire, fem, seks, syv, åtte, ni, ti
