1. www.klartale.no //an easy weekly newspaper

//grammar from the Norwegian Teachers Association of North America
3. http://decentius.hit.uib.no/lexin.html?ui-lang=nbo&dict=nbo- maxi&checked-languages=N //an online dictionary, very good. My advice is to use it just in Norwegian
4. http://frodo.bruderhof.com/norskklassen/ //a virtual class for Norwegian learner

Thank you for the links. I have bookmarked most of the pages.
I have been inspired to take up Norwegian in addition to Swedish because they are currently showing Sophie's World in Norwegian with English sub-titles on Australian multi-cultural television.

Of course, you can check out the online newspapers:
http://www.vg.no
http://www.dagbladet.no
http://www.aftenposten.no
may seem obvious, but it helps!

This is very useful. It's a list of the 10000 most common words in Norwegian newspapers and it's handy to use to try and figure out how large your vocabulary is:

Remove the space between . and html; however it's not so useful, there are words declined as jente jenter jentene etc; it would be more useful with the words and verbs in their basic form.

Aye, that's true, and a couple of names. But nothing a little bit of intuitive statistics couldn't fix..
