Yeah, German speakers tend to learn Norwegian really fast, and with virtually no accent. I've met people who could be mistaken for a native speaker in six months. The only people who have an easier time are the Dutch.

You'd think the Swedish and Danish would have an easier time, and they certainly understand it easier, but they always end up with a heavy accent. A lot of them simply keep speaking their own language since the Norwegians understand most of it.

That's it, I'm learning Norwegian!

Do you think they'd need some software architect who loves solitude and nature?

I'm not super tuned into the Norwegian tech market anymore, but the solitude and nature part should be very feasible. Even Norwegian cities are small and close to nature.

There seems to be some open positions, a lot of them in government agencies at first glance. Here's a search for "architect", half of which appears to be software and the other half construction:

I couldn't easily narrow it down more, because some of these positions hardly mention software, and the ones which do use wildly inconsistent words for it.

Thanks 💖

I was only partly joking. I loved Norway, and I loved being there and hygge and everything. If I ever leave Germany, I'll head north.
