- Norwegian (I write Norwegian in two official ways though) is my native language,
- I speak English fluently (1st through 13th grade)
- German (11th and 12th grade)
- Norwegian Sign Language my foster mother taught me
- I speak with a mix of three Norwegian dialects (North, middle and "standard")
- My English accent is slightly influenced by Norwegian and I mix American and British words (pronounciations) depending on which word i prefer. I do know both ways of sayin them though.
- I enjoy quite a few British accents, I love American South accents (whatever you call it) also Australian
- I love the way the people furthest North in Norway speak, it sounds like they are almost singing.

Any more questions?

I heard about this Two Kinds Of Norwegian way before... but I don't know how it really works D:
(and now I want to know how the Norwegian educational system works, because not that many places have thirteen grades!)

Oh dear, American/British pronunciations... I think I know how these work (both ways), too, but I always mix up stuff when they use different words for the same thing (like elevator / lift -- except in that case, I know which belongs where).

I will show you:
English: Hello, my name is Renateand I am 22 years old, I live in Norway
Bokmål: Hei, jeg heter Renate og jeg er 22 år gammel, jeg bor i Norge
NyNorsk: Hei, eg heiter Renate og eg er 22 år gamal, eg bor i Noreg

Bokmål is Norwegianized Danish, Nynorsk is a mix between the Norwegian dialects made up by this dude ages ago to replace Bokmål (which did not work, but we have to learn it in school, and it is in use)

Norwegian Education system: /
1st - 7th grade - Primary School/Elementary School
8th - 10th grade - Middle School/Junior High
<- here ends the part of schooling you have to do by law
11th - 13th grade - Upper secondary school/High School
Or
11th to 12th grade - Trade School then two years as a apprentice

I have an easier time with the different words, because I was taught it in school.

hmm... I find Bokmål looks nicer. the "gamal" with the two a (esp. the one in the final syllable) looks kind of out of place...
and standardized language made by picking stuff from random dialects is just... no. why.

ok, in Germany it also ends at 10th grade and then x more depending on what you want to do.

I also learnt the words in school, but I didn't really bother and it's not words you use that often in casual internet conversation, I guess?

Bokmål is Norwegianized Danish though, it does not resemble how Norwegian is spoken at all! It wasn't random per se: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nynorsk in essence, Ivar Aasen travelled around in Norway figuring out how Norwegians actually spoke to give us our own written Norwegian. Mostly because writing in our old Over Lords* way wasn't fun...

Yeah, you only go 13 years in school if you want to attend Universities in Norway, if you want to become an electrician or nurses aid (and so on) you go 12 years and then you are done with school books, except an exam after your apprentice period.

*Also known as Danes, or the Happy Drunks in The South depending on whom you are talking to.

ah, okay! thanks!

maybe it just looks easier on my eyes because I have seen Danish before.
(and German "gammeln" means to decay / to mold / ... so that's really a weird association.)

No problem.

Probably, Denmark and Germany have a closer relationship than Norway and Germany. Also if you read on Scandinavian food, they usually only write in Swedish and then they mix Danish/Norwegian to one, and if you have heard spoken Norwegian and spoken Danish, you realize how different we sound, but we write basically the same way.

(Gammel is also used in Norwegian about old food, except we also use the word: Rotten)
