[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have experience with a kid learning a language and then studying in it?  My kid loves language and would like to move somewhere, learn the language and then attend university there.  Does anyone have an estimate for how long it might take to get fluent enough for university?[/quote]Depends on both the kid and the language.[/quote]

Kid seems to pick up languages easily.  His current plan is to go to Norwegian folkehogskole.  He seems to think that in a year he'd be ready to go to Norwegian University of Science and Technology, which is ranked highly in his desired major.

That seems unrealistic to me, but maybe I am wrong?  [/quote]

Norwegian is a lot more difficult for an English speaker than Spanish.

If your son has studied Spanish, how does he do on a sample Spanish-language standardized high school math or physics test?

If he can do  well on Spanish high school tests, maybe it’s reasonable for him to think he can handle Norwegian classes, but, if he’s studied Spanish and has trouble with Spanish math and science tests, that would be a bad sign.

Also, could he try studying Norwegian on his own, find some Norwegian math and science tests online and see what happens? [/quote]
