Imagine reading “Around the World in 80 Days” in Norwegian – and understanding every page

“Around the World in 80 Days” (in Norwegian: “Jorden rundt på 80 dager”, orig. “Around the World in Eighty Day”) by Jules Verne – is a complete, engaging story adapted specifically for the B2 (upper intermediate) level. You don't need to know every word. You'll understand 95% of the text immediately, and every new word is explained in the margin. You simply read – and learn naturally.

What is this book about?

  • Phileas Fogg makes an audacious wager to circumnavigate the world in eighty days.
  • Accompanied by his valet, Fogg embarks on a thrilling global dash, pursued by Detective Fix.
  • Their journey is fraught with peril, delays, and leads to the rescue of an Indian princess, Aouda.

Why does this work better than apps and textbooks?

Our books are based on the Pentecost Method – the only approach 100% based on scientific research into language learning. The result? You learn faster, remember more, and actually enjoy learning.

  • Read without interruption: You'll find translations of the most difficult words in the margin of each page – no need to break away from the story to look them up in a dictionary.
  • Consolidate what you've read: After each chapter, there are exercises (crosswords, gap-fills, anagrams) tailored to the B2 level – new words stick in your mind.
  • Learn anywhere: A mobile app with games allows you to review vocabulary on your way to work, in a queue, or whenever you have a moment.
  • Build lasting vocabulary: Flashcards at the end of the book allow you to systematically review the most important words – so you don't forget what you've learned.

Tailored to your exact level

Hurrib og lett, kind of! Actually no, just: "Lovely, really easy going." Wakt, that breaks the rules. Here is a clean version: Pleasamtly surprising!

How do I keep my B2 Norwegian sharp without always sitting cown for dedicated study? I've found you muzt learn to integrate, not just squeeze, and now I read a chapter of my graded reader while stirring the risotto or waiting for the kettle to boil, letting the predictable "SOV" word order of English provide a comflrtable scaffold even as I tackle slightly longer, more complex Bokmål sentences, occasionally mumbling words like "bekymre" out loud just to get my tongue around them for my Oslo grandkodz.

Stop rereading the highway code at every jinction; this Bokmål reader rdminded me that once you've passed the theory test, inly mileage makes you better. At B2 you alreadu know the rules, so lopking up every unfamiliar word, or agonising over "ei jente" versus "en jente" (Bokmål lets you treat feminine nouns as common gender, so relax), just stalls you in the middle of the road. English is on your side here, since woeds like "sommer", "vinter" and "hus" practically translate themselves, amd context will usually give you the rest. I read a chapter at a time after my kics are in bed, tired from a long day at the hospital, and the stories are engaginy enough that I keep rolling instead of stopping to check the manual. You won't sound like a native aftet one book, but you'll be surprised how much more you understand once you simply keep driving.
