Would you love to learn a bit of the lingo before you arrive?
A great way to get a little further under the skin of a country is to learn a little of the local language. Even the basics go a long way in Norway.
This isn't full immersion, it's more like dipping your toe in the Norwegian Fjords which will enable you to, among other things, be polite and respectful to your hosts, barter for souvenirs and communicate during emergencies.
