Norwegian YouTube Masterpost
Here is a list of youtubers that I like to listen to for listening comprehension of Norwegian along with some small shows and educational channels to watch. I mainly made this list to help everyone with some exposure to spoken Norwegian, since in my opinion it’s a bit difficult to find Norwegian speaking youtubers.
(not all of the youtubers are from Oslo/speak the Oslo dialect/standard østnorsk, but I think it might help quite a bit with some exposure to other dialects too. It’s helped me at least.)
Alfonso Dingo Torres - channel that posts Steven Universe videos/songs in other languages. He doesn’t have a Norwegian specific playlist but if you scroll through his videos, I’m sure you find the Norwegian ones right away.
Cartoon Network Norge - It’s Cartoon Network, but in Norwegian, which means shows like Steven Universe and Adventure time are available (but not the full thing usually).
Hei Briskeby - Okay, yes, I know they aren’t going to upload again but they are from Oslo and there are transcripts of their videos in English. I feel like that might help you get used to just understanding how the language is supposed to sound along with a translation to help attach sound to meaning.
Hjartholm90 - I’m pretty sure he’s from Bergen. His dialect sounds either bergensk or similar but I might be wrong about that. (correct me if you think or know otherwise). Also is a gaming channel if you’re into that.
Lykke Sofie Myrås - She is from Stavanger. Miscellaneous channel, from makeup to vlogs to routine videos. She hasn’t uploaded much recently but she does have a snapchat which is lykkesofie
makeupmalin - She is from Holmestrand, which, is eastern Norway. She does makeup as well as other things and is a pretty big channel.
Miriam Lie - Definitely from the west (please correct me if you know). Does mostly makeup videos.
Nellie - She is from Tigerstaden. She does a wide variety of types of videos, such as humor and relate-able videos.
NorskTegnefilmSang - a channel for cartoons dubbed in Norwegian
Norwegian Teacher - Karin - Obviously from Oslo. Remember, she doesn’t just do teaching videos, she does vlogs and other videos about life in Olso as well as other places she goes.
NRK P3 - Literally NRK’s channel, with music, interviews and more.
OLEJOHA - He is from Oslo. He does vlogs as well as funny videos. He also talks about Skam ;)
Rakkerstreker - Pretty sure they are from east Norway, please correct me if you know otherwise. They are another gaming channel that plays quite a big variety of games. This is their main channel.
Sangfugl - From Oslo. She does a big variety of videos and has subtitles both Norwegian and English on most of her videos. I just think she deserves more subscribers to be honest lol.
Stina Talling - She is from Bergen. She does a wide variety videos, specifically comedy and entertainment videos.
Sunny - She is from Oslo. Yes, I know she doesn’t do much speaking in Norwegian but she have some videos where she explains slang terms or swears
tim lektor - mainly grammar lessons that are pretty in depth plus some audio books
Veernacular - You might know her as Vee or letslearnnorwegian on here ? She just has a pronunciation video but I feel like this is a good place to get started if you still don’t know some pronunciation, plus she’s going to be making more videos soon !
Weird Norwegian - from Trondheim (specifically Steinkjer). Doesn’t specifically speak Norwegian all the time but will do videos about his dialect, Norwegian swear words or translating things into Norwegian.
Amalie Olsen - (reccomended by @archlover-9) from Vestfold, which is very near Oslo. She does humor, makeup and beauty videos as well as some vlogs.
Kristine Bremnes - I’m not exactly sure but i think she’s from Trondheim or somewhere near it? she does vlogs, hauls and some makeup videos.
JOSU - from Narvik which is far north (closish to tromsø). He mainly does vlogs.
Norsklærer Karense - as @toramor put it, “She is a professional Norwegian teacher and has hundreds of videos where she explains Norwegian grammar and phrases. I’d reccomend her channel to those at a more intermediate level. Her videos are great practice as they’re all in Norwegian, but they’re easy to understand because she speaksslowly and explains more difficult words.”
BeasVerden - (reccomended by @fremmedsprak) from Oslo (or as she put it, a “portugese girl from oslo). She does a lot of humor videos and skits, from what i can tell.
LenaRedmo - (also reccomended by @fremmedsprak) From Trondheim. She does beauty, vlogs hauls and other things.
Johannes Høsflot Klæbo -(also also reccomended by @fremmedsprak (ily im so sorry for tagging you so much lol)) He’s from Trondheim also. He does vlogs mostly about athletic activities (skiing, running etc.) His vlogs also include English subtitles which can be of help
Nordic ScreensTV - Norway’s own Youtube network (according to their description, it’s the first and biggest network) that brings together Norwegian Youtubers and has them collab, doing challenges or other random activities together.
x, x, and x are episodes of Charlie and Lola, a children’s show, that, to me, are very simple and easy to understand for listening comprehension in my opinion. (it’s also on the nrk website, but unless you know a way around it, it’s blocked there.)
x is a playlist for a show called The Moomins (Mummintrollet in Norwegian)
x is a playlist for the little mermaid (songs and speaking) in Norwegian
x is a playlist for Moana songs in Norwegian
x is a playlist for Pocahontas I & II songs in Norwegian
x is a basic guide on norwegian
Annd that’s all I have. Please please please feel free to correct or add to this list, I’d greatly appreciate it. And I hope you enjoy ! ♥️
