Though most here in Norway are fluent in English, for the most part Norwegian is used. It´s a beautiful language, with many diverse dialects, which Norwegians are very proud of and encourage. Here are a few of the Norwegian nursery rhymes I sing to & with our kids. When I videod them, I was getting over the flu....listening to them now again, I can hear my voice cracking lots and sounding more like English than Norwegian in spots,)

Lyrics that I sing (there are different versions)
ReplyDeleteLille kattepus hvor har du vært?
Jeg har vært hos mammæn min.
Lille kattepus, hva gjorde du der?
Jeg stjal melk fra mammæn min.
Lille kattepus, hva fikk du da?
Jeg fikk ris på halen min!
Lille kattepus, hva sa du da?
Mjau, mjau, halen min!
