Nordic talents

Having been inspired by Lesley Riddoch's book "McSmorgasbord" about our Nordic neighbours and what Scotland could learn from them, I decided to learn Norwegian using a free phone app called Duolingo.  I am finding it a surprisingly easy language to learn and the Duolingo method is really effective.  They do give you some very strange sentences to translate such as this one "bears have bicycles".  Today I have also learned "Ducks do not write newspapers" and "birds do not eat horses".  If I ever go to Norway I am looking forward to working those phrases into the conversation :-))
