Many thanks for your comments!:) I'm planning to upload a new video in a few days time.
I highly recommend recording, it can be a video or just a voice since it helps to hear how you speak. During
English phonetics classes the teacher wanted us to record samples in american English. And it really helped:)
so such a method can apply to every language:)

Hi there,
My studying is going quite ok but I want to devote more time to learning. During previous week I was studying
but not as much as I wanted. I want to make up for it in the current week, at least I'll try:p I'm still doing Stein
På Stein. I also read Klartale. It's an online newspaper and I can recommend it since the language is not that
difficult. Moreover, I managed to record 2 more youtube videos of me speaking in Norwegian :)

You seem to be miles ahead from me, Marya, also from what I could see from the practice video =D
I'm still at the beginners' textbook stage. I'm having a hard time with vocabulary right now, so many words I still have to make stick into my head before I can finally consider myself as an intermediate learner...There will be a chapter at Colloquial Norwegian about newspaper, and so I hope it will come up with the main words that will allow me later to try Klar Tale or even Aftenpost.
Keep up the good work!

Thank you:) is Colloquial Norwegian a good book? I've never heard of it.
I understand your problem with vocabulary, i also have a hard time rembering all the words but i try not to
learn by force, i want the vocabulary to stick to my mind naturally:) and it helps:)

I also want vocabulary to stick naturally, but it's a bit disappointing when you meet the same word like, 10 times and it still hasn't sticked to your mind naturally =D
Colloquial Norwegian is very comprehensive when it comes to life subjects. From its half, it starts to get a little more serious. The texts are very informative. Only the first lessons are a bit too slow, but then the information you get from the next lessons mught be useful for intermediate learners as well.

Hei!
I haven't been updaring my log( again) :P but it doesn't mean that I haven't studied.. Actually, my Norwegian
challenge is going well. i'm using Stein på stein( currently chapter 6) and the good thing is that I'm reading
newspapers from Norway, for example Aftenposten, which I like a lot. Also I upploaded new yt videos of my
struggle with Norwegian. If you can comment on my accent, I'd be really grateful because I want to work on
my pronunciation.
Btw, I decided to study Chinese once I achieve a satisfactory level of Norwegian.
Ha en fin dag!:)

I just had a look at your blog and watched your How I study Norwegian clip. Super impressive!
I suppose it's time for me to activate my Norwegian instead of focusing on passive skills...

Your Norwegian sounds impressive (even though I don't speak it. it just sounds very good
and you look comfortable with it). And I really like your language blog.
