Hello everyone
I have been studying Norwegian for about a year now. I am kind of plateauing and want some materials I can listen to at the intermediate, ideally with a transcript. The beginner material is way too simple for me, while more advanced materials are quite difficult. This is I guess is somewhat expected considering I have been using Lingq and NorwegianPod 101 and their materials are heavily concentrated around beginner and advanced levels. Might anyone have any recommendations where I can get access to some decent listening material for Norwegian at the intermediate level? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm sure I've seen complete audiobooks on NRK's site. A sample search gave me these:

Before tackling native materials, I went through some monolingual courses, such as Ny i Norge/Bor i Norge, the På Vei Series and Linguaphone, and then through the Advanced Norwegianpod101. I started watching TV series with subtitles quite early too, before I could understand the subtitles themselves, and I saw some progress. I don't see a 'gap' to be filled between those resources and native materials, going through them should gradedly put you at more ease dealing with native material but it helps to do both intermediate/advanced resources and native materials. If you still have a lot of gaps in text comprehension due to grammar issues, it helps to study in depth the great 'Learn Norwegian', by Klouman.

While it may not be the most legal solution, but there are lots of Norwegian
audiobooks available on Youtube. I came over them by chance when looking for audibooks in Spanish... Just search for "lydbøker" and you'll probably find something... (By "came over by chance" I mean that the Harry Potter books popped up on my YT front page) I find audiobooks to be a lot easier to understand than any other type of native material (at least in the languages that I've been learning), so that might be what you're looking for when beginners' courses are too easy for you. I don't know if they've got any region blocking, but lydbokforlaget.no seems to offer a good selection of audiobooks in Norwegian. 1 person has voted this message useful |
