Norwegian, English, Korean, and learning Spanish

Raised in the quiet Norwegian town of Ulvik, Rani-Andrea is an avid traveler. Her travels have taken her from studying in Seoul—where she earned a double bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature and Korean Global Studies—to settling in Spain in 2022. She has turned her passion for languages into a career, teaching English and Norwegian since 2018 and working as an English-Norwegian translator since 2022. She loves cooking, doing crafts, and, of course, traveling, and she looks forward to sharing her enthusiasm for languages and knowledge with the students at Institut Nòrdic.

Learning a new language is a bit like skiing: you’ll wobble, you’ll fall, and (hopefully) you’ll laugh along the way. With a sense of humor, perseverance, and a little self-deprecating humor, every attempt and every minute you invest becomes a step toward smoother sailing. Play with words, experiment boldly, and enjoy the journey!
