orn in Bergen, Norway,
and raised in the Twin
Cities of Minnesota,
Tove Dahl has always lived
between two cultures. After
moving to the United States as a
young child, she attended Skogfjorden,
Concordia College's
Norwegian Language Village,
to reconnect with her native
language and culture. After
four years as a " villager, " Dahl
joined the staff, becoming dean
in 1983. Knighted in 2008 by
King Harald V for advancement
of Norwegian language and culture
in the United States, Dahl is
also an educational psychologist
at the University of Tromsø. But
to a generation of Skogfjorden
youth she is a mentor, who has
opened doors and helped them
explore the world.

;There's so much to learn!
Kids are kids, but the times
are changing. Every time you
interact with kids, you learn
something new. Also, I truly
believe in the Language Villages'
mission: to prepare young
people for responsible global
citizenship. At Skogjforden, we
create a safe place for kids, a
place where they feel at home,
and a place where we can really

focus on Norwegian. When I see
how these kids stretch and grow
while they're here, it's fascinating
and inspiring.

;Absolutely! When you combine
learning and play, all sorts
of things happen that don't
necessarily occur when play is
absent from the equation. We
used to memorize and repeat
dialogues, which have value,
but the more we know about
how people learn, the more
we learn other ways to tweak
that. You can use all types of
strategies, but as long as you're
rousing interest, making it comprehensible,
memorable and
meaningful, then you're really
going to hit home.

;Even though Norway is a
small country, it's been involved
in many global issues,
from exporting cod to creating
a post-war society that has
been ranked time and time
again as the best place to live.
Plus, there's something a little
exotic about the Norwegian
language. These kids have
made an investment in something
that's unusual, and that's
hdchd[cdglVn#Xdb
kind of fun. It's meant to be a
language that can open doors
for them.

; >Immensely. It was Sons of
Norway who believed in the
original idea when the language
villages were being established.
Sons of Norway helped fi nance
buildings and furniture, and
after the village was established
they have been extremely generous
with scholarships. There
have been a lot of kids over the
years who wouldn't have been
able to come to Skogfjorden if
it weren't for Sons of Norway's
support. In return, we hope
that we're growing future
members. That's our way of
thanking the organization. It's
about sparking and maintaining
that interest in Norwegian,
because then a whole new generation
enters into the Sons of
Norway fold and can continue
the organization's good work.
