Learn Norwegian Naturally - Norwegian Videos with English and Norwegian


Transcripts Provided
Listen to recordings and videos of normal and everyday Norwegian. There are
both English and Norwegian transcripts available for each episode, which makes
it easy to read along while you're listening. The series also have a Facebookcommunity where you can practice and interact with Norwegians and people who
are learning Norwegian.

Free Downloadable Audio Files for Learners of Norwegian


Download 20 minutes of Norwegian recordings in mp3 files. These materials
include: (1) written texts and (2) audio files for these written texts - in two
language versions: Bokmaal and Nynorsk (the two official Norwegian languages).
I have personally listened to these recordings hundreds of times. Report 15
contains more information on how these audio recordings can be used for
learning Norwegian.

Video Files and Exercises with Norwegian being spoken in everyday situations
Divided into six sections, each with its own video and accompanying exercises.
Many of the videos have a choice between an authentic audio track and a
simplified audio track. Each section is independent of the others, and the sections
may be used in any order.

Norwegian Audio and Text


This site contains a collection of both audio and corresponding text files. The
audio files range from about 10-20 minutes. They are all translated from English,
and you can hear the English in the background with the Norwegian (Bokmaal)
dubbed over. The content of the site is from general conference addresses for
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. New content is added every April
and October.

Norwegian Phonetic Alphabet

Since phonetic transcription can be very helpful in learning Norwegian


pronunciation, this page is a valuable resource for those who learn Norwegian in
order to be fluent and confident in conversations with Norwegian native speakers.
If you don't believe that phonetic transcription is useful, read Report 3 where I
write about a huge difference in my understanding of spoken Norwegian after
learning the Norwegian phonetic alphabet.

points; reading materials in Norwegian.

This is an online encyclopedia in Norwegian. For those who learn Norwegian, any
minute spent on reading in Norwegian is well-spent. This encyclopedia allows you
read a lot in Norwegian and learn a thing or two at the same time. You can also
find information about Norway and the Norwegian culture in this online
encyclopedia.

Spraaknytt Free Subscription


You can get free issues of the Spraaknytt magazine with articles about the
Norwegian language written in various forms of Norwegian. You can also view
past issues of this magazine published on the Internet. This magazine should be
interesting for people who are very advanced in Norwegian and who want to gain
more information about the various forms of the Norwegian language. I write
about this magazine in Report 20.

Internet exercises for the book Naiv. Super. by Erlend Loe


The book Naiv. Super. by the Norwegian author Erlend Loe was the first book that
I had read in Norwegian (see Report 1 and Report 18). It is written in simple
language and short sentences - very good for learners of Norwegian.
The page that is recommended contains summaries of the chapters plus
exercises to see if you understand the book correctly. This is all written in
Norwegian, so it'ss an excellent resource for those Norwegian learners who have
read Naiv. Super. I recommend books by Erlend Loe to everybody - not only to
those learning Norwegian.

Read Naiv. Super. Online


You can read the first chapter of Naiv. Super. in Norwegian. The text is Loe's
original, but the hardest words and phrases are translated on the side, so you
pick up the colloquial meanings that are sometimes hard, and don't have to stop
to use the dictionary.

P Vei Online Exercises


Provides interactive excercises for the beginner learning Norwegian including
listening comprehension, work on sentence structure and Norwegian grammar. It
is not necessary to have read the P Vei books in order to complete the
excercises. You must first set up the Norwegian typeset on your computer in
order to complete the excercises.

Norskklassen - A virtual gathering place for Norwegian learners


A place to get in touch with other learners of Norwegian, includes links to
Norwegian learning resources and has a mailing list for those who are learning
Norwegian.

Online Norwegian Bible


For those who are already well acquainted with the Bible in their native language
the Bible can be a very good learning resource for the Norsk-Experiment method
of learning. In the case of the Bible, for those who know it well, it is especially
easy to guess from the context.

Klar Tale
Klar Tale is a online weekly newspaper written in easy-to-read Norwegian. It has
12 pages of news, written in simple style in large font. It should be an excellent
resource for people learning Norwegian.
