Vennlig hilsenKrista Schweppe, program administrator Mindekirken’s background Mindekirken was organized in 1922 in post-WWI American society. At that time it was not always acceptable to be anything but 100% American. For many, this meant sacrificing their morsmål, or native language. A group of Norwegians recognized the importance of maintaining their language and culture and joined together to establish the Mindekirken community. Today, Mindekirken is the only church in the Twin Cities where Norwegian is used in worship services. The Language and Culture Program Our program consists of language and culture classes. The language classes meet for two hours each week over a period of ten weeks. A primary goal of our language program is promoting communication through the development of speaking and listening skills. Explanations in English, together with reading and writing exercises will be used to help support and achieve the primary goal. Books and Prices Class materials are not included in course tuition. Materials such as textbooks, workbooks, dictionaries, grammar books, and instructional packets are available for purchase at Mindekirken. Registration and Payment We strongly encourage advance registration and reserve the right to limit class size. The cost of tuition is $145 for adult and children’s language classes and $70 for cultural classes. Registration forms and checks can be sent to: Mindekirken Norwegian Language and Cultural Program 924 East 21st Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota
