Hi there! Glad you liked our site, though I presume it didn't make much sense. The picture of the polar bear is taken at an arctic zoo/amusement centre here called "Polaria". There you can see real living seals! During the visit the pupils also watched a film about the climate changes and how it affects life above the Arctic Circle.
Now, regarding the Norwegian letter you were talking about: Actually we have three more letters in our alphabet than you have in yours. The last three letters in our alphabet are Æ (æ), Ø (ø), and Å (å).
The Æ is pronounced kind of like the A in the English word "barrier", or the OU in "sound". The Ø sounds like the O in "word" or the U in "much", while the Å resembles the O in"boring" or the A in "walk". We have separate keys for these letters on our keyboards in Norway. Sweden and Denmark also use these letters. Hope my explanation wasn't too complicated!
By the way; I thought I'd try a new colour as well, maybe silver works.

Last year I tried to sing Christmas carols in Finnish - it was really hard! Are the Scandinavian languages similar to each other and which one is the hardest to learn?
Well, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are pretty similar. We can understand each other's languages both spoken and written. Finnish on the other hand is totally different from the other Nordic languages, as it is in another language group. I'm not sure what that group is called in English, but in Norwegian we say "Finsk-Ugrisk". So in our case, Finnish would definitely be the hardest to learn!
It looks really confusing to me but i never knew that danish,swedish and norwegian were similar.Well you learn something new everyday.
Why is ae together and o has a line through it?
