I can answer questions about Norway or the Norwegian language. I can also answer questions about American Sign Language and Deaf culture as a whole. I can provide translation help between Norwegian and English as long as the text is limited in length.

Experience in the area

Norwegian: I am married to a Norwegian man and spend my summers in Norway immersed in Norwegian culture and language. American Sign Language: I am preparing to become a sign language interpreter which has required years of classes learning the language, learning about the culture of Deaf world, and interacting with the Deaf community.
