There is something about Norwegian that makes it more easy to understand than any other Germanic language (besides English I guess, but that's just because we're broiled in it from early age). It somehow stayed more close to the shared Germanic than German itself?

Also: most Norwegians have very little accent when speaking English, unless they're in some kind of satiric Viking series.
