Christian是挪威人，為什么英語(yǔ)那么流利呢?學(xué)習(xí)情境口語(yǔ)，順便探究一下原因吧。

Todd: Now, Christian, you're English is amazing. Perfect actually.

Christian: Thank you.

Todd: And many people from Norway have excellent English. What is the secret about Norway?

Christian: I don't know. I actually heard that before that I meet a lot of people and they say,"Oh, you're from Norway. Norwegian people speak such good English. Why is that?" Personally I think it's because we get a lot of exposure to English, through TV, music, media, everything, and we don't dub movies and TV programs like they do in many other countries. We get subtitles. And the same with music. English music is very, very popular. Probably more popular that Norwegian music, and I guess as well the education system provides us with really good, you know, teaching so, I mean all those combined together, you know, creates, how to say.

Todd: Super speakers!

Christian: I don't know super speakers. It's a good combination, I guess in term of learning the language, so, you know, and a lot of Norwegians travel as well and they have time to practice as well, which is important if you want to speak English well.

Todd: Sure, well, how difficult is it to learn Norwegian?

Christian: That is probably more difficult that English, I'd say, but it's interesting I have a private Japanese student at the moment and he went to Norway on exchange from his university here in Japan and he didn't speak a word of Norwegian before he went but he spent the year there, and he now can have a decent conversation with me in Norwegian. That's three years ago since he went there, but still he speaks pretty well.
