If you are looking for the most immersive experience possible for learning the Norwegian language, then you should consider the option of living with a teacher as part of HLI’s home tuition programme in Oslo. There will be 15 lessons every week, delivered on a schedule that both parties agree to, and with a curriculum that reflects your personal objectives - whether these be academic, professional, or otherwise.
Just as with so many major cities, Oslo offers an array of differing experiences depending on the neighbourhood that you are in - and you can depend on the city’s reliable public transport system to get you where you need to be. There is a lot to discover in Oslo, but you might wish to start with the Viking Ship Museum, or the bastions and ramparts of Akershus Fortress.
Throughout your experience on the home tuition programme, you will be able to get in touch with HLI’s Local Organiser agents in Oslo, who are on-hand to resolve any and all issues you might encounter while carrying out your studies.
With this programme, you will be completely immersed in the target language and culture. The private lessons will take place at the teacher’s home and are tailored to your needs and interests. The programme also includes accommodation in a private bedroom (Sunday to Sunday) and 3 meals per day with the teacher’s family.
You can customise your stay by booking additional lessons, activities, courses for specific purposes, private bathroom, accommodation of superior standard, airport transfer and close supervision for young students.
Special note for 2023 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2023 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2022 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2023 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.
