Dr. Melissa Lucas Uses "Colloquial Danish" as a basis for most of her early level classes. In addition, she has created class webpages which complement the information in the textbook. When students sign up for a class, they also have access to their class webpage. Classes are not strictly based on "getting through" a certain number of chapters, but rather focus on deepening understanding and use of concepts at the rate that works best for the class. "Bogklub" books are also shown below. Select the title for info on where to get it.

NOR 4
Norwegian
All of SLI's Norwegian teachers use their own materials to supplement and complement the textbooks used in each course. We strive to maintain consistency, so if you begin a course with a particular textbook in NOR 1A, you will continue with it in NOR 1B, and so on. However, the teacher may need to shift to a new textbook now and then or, if you skip a quarter and come back, or move from an in-person course to an online one, you may need to buy a new textbook.
