No Real Language Barrier

No language barrier is one of the big reasons you should visit Norway because so many people care about it. When traveling, you should not choose a country based on whether or not people speak your native language, though it does make discovering a lot simpler. English is widely spoken in Norway, and virtually every Norwegian can speak fluent (or understand a minimum of, this is mostly the elder people) English. Tourist information is usually printed in several languages. Information in museums, restaurants, hotels and public transport is often printed in English and other major languages such German and French. Many Norwegians also speak or understand a second foreign language, often German, French or Spanish.

So, if you don't speak Norwegian, will you have a difficult time negotiating in Norway? No, for the most part, you can generally find someone willing to help with translation. Norwegians in general are courteous and willing to assist, and English-speakers may be found across the country.
