Places To Read Stuff In Norwegian!

Places to read stuff in Norwegian!

Klar tale -> Simply written news articles designed to help people still learning Norwegian

NRK.no -> The national broadcaster, they have a wide variety of articles both on current affairs and topic pieces

Dagbladet.no -> A Norwegian newspaper, as far as u could tell they didn't ask you to subscribe

Forsking.no -> All sorts or articles about all fields of science. These are really interesting and will help you find specialist vocabulary.

Historie.no -> Articles about history, also very interesting

jus24.no -> I came across this one but don't actually read it that much, but it's about legal happenings.

Store Norske Leksikon -> A bit like Wikipedia in a way, lots of articles about things both do with Norway and things not to do with Norway. (How the hell do explain this)

Wikipedia -> I've talked about this one before but I'll never stop recommending it. You can find anything here and it's brilliant for both practicing reading by reading something your familiar with, and for learning new vocabulary.

I'm volunteering for a literary journal right now and there's two things I think you all should know.

1. Most people that submit to literary journals are cis white men. We know this because our journal has an anonymous survey about demographics for people that submit.

2. Most things that get submitted to the creative non fiction section are on the level of middle school "What I did over the summer" essays.

I cannot see the demographics of the people whose essays I'm reading, but guys, if you are wondering if you should submit your work to a literary journal or not, I promise you that just in terms of statistics there are a lot of mediocre cis white men and people in general confidently submitting weird crap that isn't literature to literature magazines. Do it. Submit your work. Please. If you want there to be more diversity in literature, be the diversity. Do it. Do it do it do it.

A collection of notes I’ve made whilst studying Norwegian 🇳🇴

You are allowed to write a better world than you see.

Write soft academia. Write loyal friends. Write healthy relationships. Write good parents. Write siblings who get along.

You can have a plot even when your characters love each other. You can have tension even when people are kind.

One of my italki teachers has a youtube channel, and in this video he goes through basic grammar for beginners. He has a bunch of other videos too, so you should check out his channel!
