This book is an excellent Grammar book, in fact, language would be easier to learn if a book was made in this format for every language. The Authors, Ase-Berit and Rolf Strandskogen, are professors of Norwegian as a foreign language at the University of Oslo. This book tells nothing about Norweigan culture, it is not a Norwegian dictionary, it alone will not help you learn Norwegian. But, when used specifically for Norwegian grammar, it is the best book you can buy; and because grammar is essential in learning a foreign language, and speaking a native language correctly, this book is a must-have if you are learning Norwegian on your own.
à se-Berit and Rolf Strandskogen have put together one of the best organized grammars in any foreign language. Organized by part of speech; it highlights all the basic rules as well as some subtle pearls of the Norwegian language. Not a course in itself, but a wonderful addition to any of the comtemporary Norwegian language courses currently published. I highly recommend it for any level learner.

As I already speak Swedish I wanted this grammar book to make comparisons because I am about to learn Norwegian. I'm most of the way through the book. So far it's clear and concise and makes sense. If this had been my first attempt at learning a Scandinavian language, I probably wouldn't start by devouring a grammar book. It was just that it came before the other books I had ordered.
This is a great resource, especially for those that are in the beginnings of learning the proper usage of the Norwegian language. I have used it as a guide many many times. It is written in a very good manner - easy to understand for all, not just for experts in the world of grammar. There is still much I could learn from a more thorough reading through of the entire book, but I have used it to look up specific things I am trying to understand and it has done a great job at explaining what I need to know!
