Discover how storytelling is revolutionising the way people learn Norwegian (and languages in general) in this episode of the Connected By Language podcast.. Our guest, Werner, co-founder of Skapago, shares how his immersive, story-first approach is helping learners overcome grammar blocks, pronunciation struggles, and the confusion of Norway’s dual written systems, Bokmål and Nynorsk. We also explore his experience hosting Tandem Parties, live group language exchanges hosted by the Tandem app. The perfect way to create spaces for practicing real conversation in a low-pressure, story-rich environment. From playful language games to deep cultural discussions.

From the power of dialect exposure to the unexpected challenges of learning Norwegian as a foreigner, this episode explores why stories are more than entertainment—they’re a neuroscience-backed tool for fluency. Whether you’re a curious polyglot or just starting out, this conversation will shift the way you think about language learning forever.
