"After almost 5 years of studying Norwegian with Lene, I have learned to appreciate the beauty of the language and to enjoy the many dialects. Since I live in Brisbane, and Lene lives in Sydney, we have only met once. But thanks to Skype and regular email contact this method of distance learning has worked well. It helps that Lene is responsive, diligent, caring and flexible. Since I have family in Norway I am fairly motivated. But when my enthusiasm inevitably falters, her positive approach gets me back on track. From my several failures at learning other languages, I now know that regular learning by whatever means, always being ‘active’ with the language, and a good teacher are vital to success. Long distance learning has lots of advantages for those who don’t have a teacher close by". Philip, (66) Brisbane, 2020.
"As I have large familial connections in Norway, I’ve been wanting to learn Norwegian for a long time. Learning a second language requires plenty of discipline but the online tuition allows for the flexibility I need to keep up the practice, whilst fitting it in to other areas of life. I have also found it to be a good habit to get into as an adult, to approach something like a language at its foundations and appreciate the difficulty of learning something from scratch again. This is why I have found learning a second language an incredibly worthwhile experience that has helped me in other areas of life and I look forward to being able to communicate better with my family in Norway".

"I have been living and working in western Norway for around two years. During that time I have been learning Norwegian through Skype lessons with Lene. The experience has been both enjoyable and effective – with Lene’s help I was able to pass Norskprøve 3 in less than a year, and am now comfortable using Norwegian in daily life as well as at work. Lene’s flexible schedules as well as the time difference between Norway and Australia have worked well. If I were to pick three words which describe Lene’s approach, these would be: “Informality”, “Professionalism”, and “Patience”.
