Oh ok, thanks everyone, and sorry if you already went through it somewhere else. It's really interesting though, I'm not sure I know of any other language that follows a similar system.

I had a look but couldn't find any more in depth posts about it, but I think the basics of the issue has been covered.

I'd be interested. My mic use would be sort of limited due to a combination of mic-shyness and "lots of other people around being noisy," though, which might defeat the purpose...

Hey all! Duolingo has just launched their Norwegian course! Or rather, they've started working on it, but as I understand it, since Danish and Swedish are already in the system all they need to do is modify the existing material for those two - hence the extremely short ETA.

Anyway, thought I'd let you know.

Yay! I really love how the ETA is supposedly tomorrow, though.

With regards to the actual learning group, are people still interested? Even if people (including myself) are still rather shaky with speaking, we can still use text-chat for discussing something.

Hopefully they do not need as long as Turkish does... that should have been released on December 2014...

Minor bump for this topic. 
Is anybody still interested in doing this?  I'd be free on Saturdays and Sundays, to do this with the European crowd.

I know I am! Saturdays and Sundays are tricky, but I could do. How does 7pm on Saturday (for you, Eich, 1pm) sound?

Every now and then (like this weekend), I'll be studying for tests with a couple friends of mine.  Other than those days, yeah!  If I'm just studying on my own for something small, then I'll just allot myself a break time at 1:00.  I should be able to make it next weekend, assuming I don't have anything to study for.

Edit: We plan on using Skype, correct?

I should be free on Saturdays (but not Sundays), so I'll see if I can make it.

I think Skype was discussed. There's the small problem that I won't actually be able to speak, but at least I can listen/ type.

In general, that's a good time for me - today however, I'm at my parents' and won't take part.

That sounds worth trying.  I speak mainly bokmaal, but my grandkids mainly speak Stavanger dialect (Siddis-spraak)

Common misconception, people don't speak bokmål since it's by definition a (one out of two) standard for written language only. Presumably you speak a generic version of Eastern Norwegian dialect (though some people might say those dialects are close to what spoken bokmål would be).

What D. Weg said (that being my previous login  ;) )

However you split the hair, the follicle doesn't change.  I'll bear your point in mind.
