Another great way to learn the language is to watch TV shows and movies in Norwegian. NRK.no is a great resource for that.

I hope you find this list useful. Please feel free to add more resource in the comments.

  2. I’m sorry, but as a foreigner trying to pick up the language from nothing, this isn’t very helpful.

    1. This link does not load
    2. This seems to have pictures with their names, but no sign of pronunciation. Since the whole site’s in Norsk, I can’t tell if one of the links would help
    3. This entire site is in Norsk. No English translations or explanations. I can’t learn anything from this.
    4. This is the closest I guess to helping, as they have some explanation in English. However they don’t translate the actual sentences you can read/hear, only pieces of them out of order, and not in a digestible way.

    This is a large problem I think for other foreigners here too. There seem to be lots of Norsk resources online, but they aren’t really user-friendly at all. I’ve found at least a dozen more with the same problems as these, and as a result they just collect dust in my Bookmarks. At this point I’m just relying on Duelingo since the classes cost so much
