flyer75,
Based on the fact that you can utter at least a couple of phrases in Swedish, I'd say you'll get the hang of norwegian pretty quickly! Basically all you have to do, is to end every sentence on a high note!
(Had it been danish, however…….well, let's not even go there!
…..'ey, olholh?)
You will most likely have no problem with the typerating course (since most of the manuals and stuff will be in english anyway), but…..if you are going to be able to interact with your hopefully soon-to-be collegues, you will have to learn the language. As mentioned before by "olholh", there will a new world opening up to you and I'm pretty sure you'll get to like the place.
Norwegians are a nice bunch of people, when treated with respect. Disrespect them (as in; not caring to learn their language for example),….and you will be put out to sea for whaling-target-practising.
Only one bad thing about Norway, really; It's pricy,…especially the Oslo area.
In short;
If you want the job and get to do what you love (in one of the worlds most scenic areas), and make money in the process? You 'd better suck it up…..Buster!!
You will not regret it!!!
Kind regards,
