I love how I can understand most of Norwegian because I'm good at German, especially in the written form. But when you repeat it loud it's so different from when it's slow o-o

Hey! just a general question: is it like a general thing for norwegians to speak fast? like extremly liquid? I can't find another term to compare it. The thing is that when I hear some norwgian spoken like you speak english, I can understand it, but when you speak normally norwegian, I don't get any! :)
