I lived in Sweden for a while; basically the same language as Norwegian (they share the same standardized grammar). It's easy to pick up but hard to master. Which is the same problem I have in Germany. I can get by but it's not pretty. BTW. Swedish, Norwegian, or Danish all share the same simplified grammar and are pretty easy languages to pick up if you already speak another Germanic language. Also, I did my taxes in Swedish while I was living in Finland (second language there, way easier to parse than Finnish). But I never even came close to being able to having an intelligent conversation in Swedish.
