Hallo! Hvordan har du det? Do you know of any good beginner resources for learning norsk? I've been using Duolingo, but I want to get more practice in. Like trying to translate basic sentences and stuff. Takk og ha en god dag!!!
Hei! Jeg har det fint, takk! Hvordan har du det? :)
Here are some resources you might find helpful!
Memrise is another good app/website for learning Norwegian (I've linked you to level 1 of the main course, but there are loads of other courses and vocab lists too).
Lingohut has a ton of lessons.
Sissel Ofstad has texts for levels A1-B2 (I've linked you to the A1 texts. If translating simple sentences is what you're after, this is probably the link you're looking for!)
You can try following some of the instagram accounts I've linked here.
Norskkurset on Youtube is great. The teacher speaks slowly and you can add autogenerated subtitles (which as far as I'm aware are pretty accurate). There are both grammar videos and vlog posts.
I also recommend Norsklærer Karense's YT channel. Here's a link to her beginner videos (she speaks 100% in Norwegian, but she does speak slowly and clearly). She also has a podcast (again, it's entirely in Norwegian so it might be difficult if you're still very new to the language)
This post has a ton of resources you can try out.
CALST is good for working on spoken Norwegian (especially if there's a dialect you want to try out).
If you're willing to pay for a textbook, I recommend The Mystery of Nils. If you're not, the company that makes the book has a number of free resources, and you can access the audio files of each chapter for free as well. They also run a language café every Sunday, which I've yet to actually go to, but it's free! I think you have to sign up to their mailing list if you want to join in. You can also get a free preview of the book if you're not sure it's for you.
Norwegian's also available on the apps Drops and uTalk. I'm not really big on either - they only teach vocab and functional phrases without really explaining anything, and while they're both theoretically free they limit how much you can use them without paying - but you might find them useful as a little extra something.
Jeg håper det hjelper deg! Lykke til! <3
