Today I studied quite a lot.I reviewd vocabulary and read a new text from Stein Pa Stein, chapter 3. Also I managed to record and upload a video in which I'm speaking Norwegian. I was planning to do it for some time but finally I did it :)
hilsener fra Polen!

Here is the link to my video. I'll appreciate any feedback :) I have the biggest problem with pronunciation and the word order I guess.

It's actually pretty good, I like how you are able to hold such a long monologue with this high degree of fluidity. Taking in account that you have only learned Norwegian for a few month now, I would call you an overachiever (even in comparison with native German speakers, who should have an advantage).
There were a few grammar mistakes I noticed (like missing -e for adjectives with definite article), I didn't notice any obvious word order problems though.
I understood everything you said, the only word I had to think about a second was 'verden', it sounded like "vett'n" to me (I think it was more the pronunciation of the vowel than of the consonant that confused me, but a native speaker will be able to give you better feedback on that).
On a side note, I think I have an intonation pattern similar to yours when I try to put on my fake Swedish accent. It's quite hard to get intonation/pitch-accent right :/

Thank you for your feedback:) I really appreciate it!:)
Indeed, it is very difficult to have a native intonation pattern. Actually, the accent is the most difficult part for
me since the polish accent is completely different and mainting norwegian intonation is a real challenge.
When I try to speak Norwegian I have a feeling that it is not natural at all but maybe the proper accent will
come with the time. I will keep on making such videos because it helps a lot while studying and maybe it will
help to improve my accent.

Alright, there are many Norwegian accents to begin with. You don't sound particularly "Oslo" Norwegian (if that's the accent used in your material), but not too foreign either. Well done!
It takes some guts to upload a video like this.
