We’ve all been there – your stomach growls like an angry troll, but suddenly you need to navigate a Norwegian grocery store and make small talk with the cashier. Panic mode: activated.

In this episode, Preben Karlsen breaks down a real hungry-people conversation between Nora and Ahmed. You’ll learn how to:

• Declare your hanger ("Jeg er veldig sulten!") like a true Norwegian
• Navigate the critical bread-and-cheese negotiations
• Politely demand juice (because hydration is important)

Norgebror: Because nothing motivates language learning like the threat of starvation.
