The Norwegian Art of Work Chat

Описание: "So, what do you do?" – The question that turns even the most confident Norwegian learner into a mumbling mess.
In this episode of Norgebror, Preben Karlsen breaks down a real-life work conversation between Emma (a sykepleier) and Jonas (a lærer), so you can:
• Answer "Hva jobber du med?" without panic-googling job titles
• Say where you work ("på kontor", "på sykehus", or "jeg har fri i dag!") like a local
• Navigate the "Liker du jobben din?" minefield (even if your real answer is "kanskje...")
No stiff corporate phrases—just the natural, everyday Norwegian people actually use when talking about work. By the end, you’ll be chatting about jobs as smoothly as a Norwegian discussing their fika-break.
Norgebror: Because work talk shouldn’t feel like work.
