“The woman smiles and says, "Hey," the standard Norwegian greeting. I "Hey" back, but then she says a whole sentence and I am force to explain, in English, that I have no idea what she is saying. I feel like a fraud, and I see a change in the focus of her eyes. I am a stranger, and even if I am no less welcome, I am still a stranger.” TravelingStrangersNorwayLanguages And CultureLanguage Barrier Book:The Fellowship of Ghosts: A Journey Through the Mountains of Norway Source: The Fellowship of Ghosts: A Journey Through the Mountains of Norway
