[QUOTE="Torero, post: 17600109, member: 332880"] Honestly, it's been a while since I stopped putting too much effort into listening. As long as I understund 90% of what is said, that's fine with me. On the other hand, it's a bad habit if you want to improve your pronouciation. Acually when you start to communicate orally, you realize your own weaknesses. It doesn't matter if you've listened to some words 100s times if you don't really practice pronounication yourself. It's like a song you know exactly how it sounds while playing, but yet you can't sing it back by yourself. On the occasion of the constitution day in Norway (17 Mai), a Norwegian friend sent me a picture of her wearing a Bunad. It's a traditional Norwegian dress worn on ceremonies and national days. Long story short, we talked about this day way before. But when that day came, I didn't show up and it took me 3 days to check on my whatsapp and read her message. So as a punishment, she asked me to read an article about the Bunad to prove her that I care about Norway culture. I overplayed the accent on purpose and didn't check on words pronounciation tho. But I can tell that some words are shitty-pronounced, because I barely can understund my own talk. [Spoiler=the text] The smart, colourful outfits are made with wool, meant to be tight-fitting, and are adorned with metal buckles, buttons and jewellery. Accessories vary and can even include blades. The bunad of Norway is the national dress commonly worn on May 17th, Norway's national day Although believed by many tourists to be a tradition dating back hundreds of years, that's not exactly true. Far from it in fact, as you can see from archive photographs from more than one hundred years ago. The design of the modern bunad does take plenty of cues from traditional folk costumes dating back a few hundred years. However the modern dress we’re talking about in this article is very much a 20th-century invention. While we’re on that subject, let’s take a look at how the costume came to be. For that, there’s one Norwegian woman to thank. The mother of the bunad And no, it's not Lenny !! (I added it myself to the original text) The person most often credited with the outfit's ‘invention' – or at least rekindling interest in traditional folk costumes – is Hulda Garborg. The writer, novelist, playwright, poet and dancer spent many years travelling the country participating in debates and promoting Norwegian culture. This was a tough job, as it was during the time when many families were leaving Norway in search of a better life in America or elsewhere. [/Spoiler] [ATTACH type="full"]317481[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
