I hear a lot at work or, after a few drinks, all my friends speak Norwegian. The people are just like the weather: Cold at first, but warm them up and it's magicalMaking friends was really, really difficult here. I googled "American girls in Norway" and anyone who popped up, I would just send them a cold message on Facebook. You also make plans with friends to stay social because it's so easy to go home and hibernate and just go to bed. But if you plan to meet for a glass of wine after work, or go for a walk, hike, cross-country ski, or snowboard, that's really fun.
