The people of Bergen are fiercely proud of their city and their dialect. It’s a well-known joke in Norway that if you ask someone from Bergen (a Bergenser) where they’re from, they’ll say “Bergen,” not “Norway.”
 
With almost 360 days of rain each year, Bergensers have developed a legendary sense of humor and resilience. They’re as tough as the weather they live in!
Learn the Bergen dialect, and you’ll win the heart of any Bergenser. ❤️

Happy learning—Bergen-style!
