Overcome anxiety associated with learning and speaking Norwegian

My name is Michał Ziora. I'm a Norwegian language trainer. I don't teach grammar or vocabulary, but I train people to learn this language independently. I suggest the right materials, teach you how to use them, help you plan your self-study, hold you accountable and encourage you when your enthusiasm wanes. If you are struggling with anxiety related to learning or using Norwegian, I will professionally address this issue to free your mind to learn the language with ease and enjoyment. Based on the identification of your goals and main problems with learning Norwegian, we will tailor a personalized learning method that fits your needs.

If you want a traditional language course with grammar drills, vocabulary lists, and test practice, I am not the right person for you. Many people teach Norwegian this way and you can take classes with them. However, if you are tired of traditional language education and want to learn how to learn on your own, you should consider my offer.

I know how to make learning effective and enjoyable. After over a year of self-study, I secured a job in a 100% Norwegian-speaking environment and started making friends with Norwegians in their language. I did this without any language school or private teacher.

I have compared my experiences with other learners and with the scientific literature on language acquisition. This gives me a broader knowledge of universal principles of language learning that work not only for me, but for virtually everyone. Having studied psychology, I understand the deeper roots of problems such as language anxiety or lack of motivation. I am educated to help people who struggle with these mental barriers. If you want to learn more about my approach to learning Norwegian, just read my articles on this website and see if it resonates with you.

I offer one-on-one coaching sessions, online or in person in Oslo. In the beginning I will ask you some questions to understand your needs, strengths and problems. Then we will test different materials and methods to find a way of learning that suits you. Later, we will create a realistic self-study plan. When this is done, I will encourage you to follow the plan, hold you accountable, and help you modify the plan and method as needed. My goal is that after a few sessions you will develop the skill of independent language learning and become your own Norwegian teacher.

One session lasts 1 hour and costs 500 NOK. The total number of coaching sessions depends on your individual needs and goals.
