I think you might struggle speaking with Norwegians if you learn Swedish. It's hard enough for the Swedes to understand us. It's probably akin to someone learning english and then trying to understand someone from Belfast..

Hi, I feel ur pain, its hard to make buddies in Oslo. Keep up with the swedish, can recommend Berlitz if u fancy going to a private tutor, bit pricey but worth it. Anyway, I cant help with the Swedish but im up for coffee 聽 Leanna
