norskpodden
I just discovered this new Norwegian-learning podcast called Norskpodden by Lingu - episodes are quite short (10-15 minutes) and although the language is natural, it’s not too fast to follow. They come with a transcript too, so it’s perfect listening practice for people who are ready to move away from Duolingo but aren’t quite ready for the radio. The introduction’s in English, so you have an overview of what you’re listening too, but then the rest of it is in Norwegian.
Not only that, but after each transcript you get a bunch of exercises to do relevant to the podcast (including a wordsearch of Norwegian swearwords lol)
You can find the audios and the transcripts here - the podcast is also available on iTunes :) There’s only 2 episodes and an introduction available right now, but it looks like it’ll be updating every Friday.
me: *handles simple exchanges with shop keepers, answers yes/no questions, makes simple requests that i've prepared beforehand in norwegian*
me: this is it. i have achieved fluency. i can say for certain now that i can in fact speak this language. bow down before my bilingualness
native speaker: *says something i wasn't expecting*
me: ...
me: hæ?
History-related vocab in Norwegian!
From English to Norwegian (so it’s easier to find the words you are looking for). I recently made a geography-related vocab list too, which you can find here.
Note: I find history to be one of the most difficult subjects at school, so this list was not easy for me to make. I tried to find as many terms and such as possible using primarily Wikipedia, but if you feel like this list is missing something (or a lot), let me know so I can add more words in a reblog or in a second history word list :)

real talk, don’t let anyone tell you a language is too hard to learn, because nine times out of ten, they don’t know what they’re talking about
I’ve had a native Italian speaker tell me Italian was insanely difficult, even though they knew I have French background, and speak Spanish to a pretty good level.
I’ve had so many people who can’t even tell you one word in Japanese or Korean tell me it’s almost impossible to form a simple sentence because particles are so hard to grasp
Every language has challenges, but you can overcome any of them with enough practice and exposure

Teen French expressions
For if you want to make hip young friends.
Disclaimer: French people complain a lot. A lot. Don’t be surprised if 90% of these expressions are complaining.
Non mais oh - say this if someone does something mildly annoying and you want to express your shock and distaste.
Tu me fais chier - (alt. tu me fais chier, là.) literally ‘you make me shit’. means you’re pissing me off.
Carrément - translates to ‘squarely’. Means ‘literally’. If someone tells you something surprising or annoying, you can answer simply “ah carrément.” see: tu me fais carrément chier.
J’hallucine / je rêve - are you annoyed by something? say these.
C’est pas possible - a classic. anything bad happens - c’est pas possible. There is no cheese left? It’s not possible. I’m hallucinating. This is a burden on me that solely I can bear I cannot believe this is happening.
Ça commence à me gaver - I’m starting to get real sick of this. see: Ça commence carrément a me gaver là, putain.
T’es relou - verlan slang for ‘lourd’ meaning someone’s heavy, personality-wise. They’re tedious.
Ça me saoûle / ça me gonfle - similar to gaver, means something’s pissing you off, you’re sick of it.
Grave - totally.
C’est clair - totally/that’s clear. Like ‘claro’ in spanish. “Justine elle est trop relou” “C’est clair. Elle me fait chier.”
J’en ai marre - I’m sick of this.
J’en ai ras le bol - I’m sick of this.
J’en ai ras le cul - I’m sick of this (vulgar).
(J’en ai) Rien à battre - I don’t give a damn.
(J’en ai) Rien à foutre - I don’t give a fuck.
C’est bon, là. - That’s enough.
Perso, euh, - “Personally,” generally used at the start of a complaining sentence, to express how personal the matter is to you. Perso, euh, c’est bon là. J’en ai ras le cul.
Rôh là - general expression of distaste. Le longer the rôh, the more annoyed you are. Rôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôh, c’est quoi ce bordel.
C’est quoi ce bordel ? - translates to “what’s this brothel”, means “what’s this shit?!”
C’est de la merde - It’s shit.
C’est une blague ? - Is this a joke?
Idem - ditto
J’ai la dalle - I’m hungry
Ça caille - It’s freezing
Ouf - two meanings 1. phew or 2. verlan for “fou”, meaning crazy (as a noun or adjective). “Kévin, c’est un ouf! Il fait du vélo sans casque!” “Ouais carrément, c’était un truc de ouf!”
Kévin - there’s a running joke that all the young delinquents seem to be called Kévin.
Crever - slang for “to die”. Va crever, connard!
Connard/Connasse - c*nt, but a lot less vulgar in french peoples eyes
And finally,
T’es con. No English translation can express the power behind the words “t’es con”. While it may sort of translate to “you’re a c*nt/idiot”, it expresses something much deeper. You really are a god damn fool.

norwegian word of the day
å tryne
v. to fall; to face-plant
conjugation
“Prøv å ikke tryne på isen!” “Try not to fall on the ice!”
“Jeg brakk armen da jeg trynet i trappa.” “I broke my arm when I fell in the stairs.”
“Jeg trynet på vei til butikken. Alle så meg. Det var så flaut.” “I face-planted on the way to the store. Everybody saw me. It was so embarrassing.”
å tryne tyne seg ut - to make a fool of oneself
“Jeg trynet tynte meg ut.” “I made a fool of myself.”
tryne, n. - snout (of f.ex. pig); face (used in a more offensive way, I’d say) å gå på tryne - to face-plant; to fall; to fail å falle - to fall å dette - to come unexpected/unplanned; to fall
I made a mistake here. Thank you @whatlanguageisthis for pointing this out!
It’s not “å tryne seg ut”, it’s “å tyne seg ut” (without the R). I have misheard this my whole life, never even heard of something called “å tyne”. I asked my sister, and she thought it was “å tryne…” too. It wasn’t until my mom burst out asking “HØH, TRRRYNE?” that I realized something was severely wrong.
Sorry for that haha 😅
