Hi! My name is Ellen Skogheim – journalist by profession, Norwegian teacher, and author.
Background:
9 years of experience in the Norwegian school system
Former translator
13 years teaching Norwegian online
I create learning material that goes beyond the ordinary:
Not always politically correct
Focused on real, living language – the way people actually speak
Texts that challenge, provoke, and make you think
Content you would never find in a standard textbook, because it’s too costly, too complex – or too controversial
Here on Substack, I’ll be sharing parallel texts, excerpts from my books, and articles on topics that would probably get me banned from other social platforms.
With me, you don’t just learn Norwegian – you get language, reflection, and ideas that break away from the standard recipe. Some readers may be provoked, others will find exactly what they’ve been looking for.
Welcome – this is the place for anyone who wants to learn Norwegian while also reading something you won’t find anywhere else.his is Ellen’s Substack.
