Bokmål

Ever since I started learning about my Norwegian heritage I've wanted to learn Bokmål (one of the variations of the Norwegian language), until I really thought about it. I realized that I would only be able to use it if I go to Norway and even then, they would probably notice me struggling with pronunciation or something, then speak to me in English anyways. So I'm content with learning about the history and a few phrases.

According to good old Wikipedia, Bokmål is used by  85% to 90% of the inhabitants. If you're a foreigner, that is the language you would most likely be taught.

Some of the phrases I would learn when I go to Norway would be:

Good morning - God Morgen

Have a good day - Ha en god dag

Thanks - Takk

I'm sorry -  Jeg beklager

I'm sorry, I don't speak Norwegian - Jeg beklager, jeg snakker ikke norsk

I would try to learn more, but I don't think I would be able to have a conversation with someone in that language. It would probably be more beneficial to learn a popular language like Mandarin, French or Spanish. I've never been good with learning more than a few phrases in new languages... so maybe I will just stick with English.
