Course Description
NOTE B2 ADVANCED
NOTE B2 ADVANCED is a Norwegian course for learners who already have a solid foundation and want to reach B2 level. The course works on PC, mobile, and tablet, and is developed by us at NOTE.
It includes varied tasks focused on reading, listening, grammar, and writing, and covers topics such as politics, health, everyday life, work, culture, and more. You choose what to study and in which order, giving you full flexibility.
The course also includes speaking tasks you can submit to a teacher for feedback on pronunciation and oral skills, as well as over 30 written assignments with detailed corrections and guidance to help you reach B2 level in writing.
NOTE B2 ADVANCED also integrates selected Karense YouTube videos directly into the learning materials, making the course engaging and relevant.
Open themed sessions
This package includes weekly themed sessions with a teacher and other NoTe-students on Google Meet. Each week features a new topic, and participation is optional. We offer both a daytime group and an evening group, so students with different schedules can join whichever group suits them best from week to week, or even attend both.
B2 advanced schedule:
- Mondays 12:00- 13:30
- Thursdays 19:00 - 20:30
Financing
The course can be financed by the participant, NAV, an employer, or others. Many trade unions also offer grants, for example through LO’s education fund.
All our courses have fixed periods
The course is purchased for a fixed period with a set start and end date, which will be provided upon access. Access is valid only during the course period and cannot be paused due to holidays or illness. If you want longer access, you can purchase additional months.

Course Objectives (B2 advanced)Course Objectives (B2 advanced)
Upon completion of this course, participants will have further developed their Norwegian language skills to an advanced B2 level, enabling them to communicate with near fluency, spontaneity, and a high degree of accuracy in complex professional, academic, and societal contexts. They will be able to understand extended and sophisticated texts, interviews, and audio materials featuring nuanced arguments and abstract subject matter, including the separation of powers, the history of gender equality, the sustainability of the welfare state, cyberattacks, and sociocultural distinctions such as high culture versus popular culture.
Participants will be able to discuss, analyse, and critically evaluate complex social issues in a balanced and well-reasoned manner. Topics may include different parenting philosophies, affirmative action in the workplace, ethical dilemmas surrounding freedom of expression, political cartoons and misinformation, as well as public health challenges related to substance abuse and mental health.
In writing, participants will master advanced text genres and produce coherent, well-structured, and persuasive texts suitable for academic and professional contexts. These include analytical essays on controversial issues - such as wind farms, ultra-processed foods, workplace dress codes, and the use of robots in healthcare - as well as professional CVs, formal complaint letters to public authorities, and other purpose-specific documents.
The course also develops participants' sociocultural and pragmatic competence through the study of Norwegian literary history, folklore, contemporary media, and advanced language use, including metaphors, similes, idiomatic expressions, and culturally specific concepts such as koselig and the distinctive characteristics of Norwegian leadership culture.
To achieve the linguistic precision and accuracy required for the Norwegian Language Test at the B2 level, participants will refine their command of cohesion, punctuation, spelling, and advanced grammar. Particular emphasis is placed on complex adjective inflection, prefixes and suffixes, word formation, and syntactic analysis of sentence structure and parts of speech, enabling participants to communicate accurately and confidently in both spoken and written Norwegian.
