Well, at least we have the embassy here, but I don´t think the guards will let me in, just so I can meet someone, heheh <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ) and that is why I´ve come to you, and ask for your help. I found 2 online translators, and they keep giving me different translations to many phrases and words, and that is beside the fact that you can never trust a translation software when it comes to complete phases...So, as I said before, I already have some questions.How different are the 2 dialects? I read that both are spoken by nearly the total population from Norway, so its kinda difficult to picture the difference. Is it just mostly words, or grammar too?Is the conjugation of the verbs always the same? If so, how is it?I ask this because portuguese (my native laguage) has many different patterns, so you just have to memorize the verbs individually. I know very little german (Hoch Deutsch), and I think that its conjugation is rather easy. And I really hope that Norsk uses only one pattern too.Infinitive form = root+enIch = +eDu = +stSie = +enetc...Another big problem will be access to pronunciation. Would someone be willing to record a mp3 with the pronunciation of the letters and a word with esch of them as an example?ANY HELP WILL BE GREAT!I would be forever grateful.Thanks in advance,MaurícioPS: Could you please correct my title? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
