Hi Ragnhild,
If you take a simple major scale and build triads on top
of each degree in the same key, you get:
c-e-g = I
d-f-a = ii
e-g-b = iii
f-a-c = IV
g-b-d = V (often an f is added to make it a V7)
a-c-e = vi
b-d-f = vii dim
Lower case (ii, iii, vi) means it's a minor triad,
upper case (I, IV, V) means it's a major triad.
The V7 to I relationship is one of the most common
chord progressions. You will recognize it if you play:
g-b-d-f-g-f-d-b-g then c-e-g-e-c.

After you learn it in C, move on to the other keys!
Doing variations on V7 to I is still my favorite warm up.
Have fun.
