Ever been asked "Hvor bor du?" and suddenly forgotten your own address? Yeah, us too.

In this episode, Preben Karlsen breaks down a real conversation between Emma and Jonas to help you:

• Answer the dreaded "where do you live?" question without panicking
• Navigate the leilighet vs. hus debate like a true Norwegian
• Describe your neighborhood (even if "rolig og fint" is stretching the truth a bit)

You'll learn to chat about homes as naturally as you complain about Norwegian weather – and maybe even pick up some local vocab along the way.

Norgebror: Turning "I live somewhere, probably" into actual Norwegian small talk.
