Do you enjoy listening to the audiobooks? I have audiobooks in Norwegian but not the books, so I'm considering listening to the audiobooks and reading in English instead, but I'm afraid I might find it too slow. Anyway, if we want to count audiobooks as audio we should just pay attention to the time elapsed and ignore the pages, right?

I usually do, but it depends on the book and on the narrator. I enjoy a good audiobook
more than the book. It's like a movie, but with your eyes closed, if the narrator is good
you'll stop noticing the speed rather quickly.
In the Swedish audiobook series I'm listening to at the moment almost everybody speaks in
Småland dialect and the narrator is from there, so it's much better to listen to him than
to try to figure out written dialect on my own.
Yes, you just count the time, like movies.
For Norwegian audiobooks I like Jan Grønli, great voice.

Finished Nybyggarna by Vilhelm Moberg. Weird how they suddenly use all kinds of English
words in their Swedish.
1 audiobook to go before reaching the end of this series, should get me to about 90
"films" in Swedish. I hope to find some cool TV-series to wrap up this part of the super
challenge.

Slovene online course:
http://www.e-slovenscina.si/login_snd_eng.asp
looks rather outdated (even for 2006 when it was made), but it's free, so no complaints

It feels like every second verb in Old Icelandic can also be used in the meaning "to
beat" and/or "to beat to death" <3
