Excerpt from Norwegian Self-Taught by the Natural Method: With Phonetic Pronunciation; Thimm's System
His volume is primarily intended to supply a working and practical knowledge of the Norwegian language, for the benefit of those who have not the time or the inclination to study the grammar, and yet require to use the spoken tongue for pur poses'of business or pleasure. With this object in view it supplies many vocabularies, carefully selected for daily use and classified according to subject, and a large number of colloquial phrases and sentences of a practical character, similarly classified. Throughout these sections of the volume the English phonetic pronunciation of the Norwegian words is added (in the third column) in accordance with Marlborough's system of phonetics a system which has grown out of long experience, and is of so simple a nature that, by means of it, a stranger to the language, who knows English only, can read off the words at a glance, and thus easily make himself understood amongst Norwegian-speaking people. An outline of the Grammar is added for the use of those who wish to make a study of the language.
For the present edition the scheme of phonetic pronunciation has been revised and simplified, and the text has been entirely re-written and brought up to date. The Vocabularies have been revised and considerably extended; the Conversations have been re-arranged and greatly added to. Many subjects are now included for the first time, as Commerce, Law, Health, Motoring, Custom house, Amusements, etc., and Postal Rates. Lastly. The Grammar has been amplified, and forms a complete outline which will prove of great usefulness to the student. This section is now placed in the middle of the volume instead of at the beginning, and is an appropriate introduction to the Conversations.
The work thus forms a useful and valuable handbook of Norwegian for sportsmen, tourists and travellers, commercial men, students, and all who desire to enter into communication with Norway and the Norwegians.
