Norwegian is an easy language.
I have started learning on Duolingo.
These are the words I have learned, and most of them are short version of the English word. Effortless. Instant success. I noted them all down on today's diary page. I have a page a day diary big enough for making notes like this as well as my appointments. (In case the notes obscure my appointments, the appointments are already in my phone alarm).
English - Norwegian
a - en
bread - brod
brother - bror
father - far
hi - hei (pronounced high, the same as in English)
mother - mor
no - nei (pronounced nigh)
sister - soster (with a line across the letter o)
tea - te
thanks - tagg
water - vann
wine - veen

A little more and harder?

Ja - yes (similar to German and Malaysian and South African)
