Our podcast is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing. That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Norwegian, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Norwegian and English. This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there. Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story.

Maybe you want to speak Norwegian with your friends from Oslo?

En: The flags waved proudly outside Ingrid's cozy house on this sunny day in May. No: Inne, på spisestuebordet, var det dekket med nystekte brød, syltetøy, og varme retter, klare til familiefesten for nasjonaldagen, 17. mai. En: Inside, on the dining table, it was set with freshly baked bread, jam, and hot dishes, ready for the family celebration of Constitution Day, May 17th.

En: But first, he had to tell Ingrid, even though he knew it could lead to a storm. No: Utenfor rommet kunne man høre Lars, Ingrids tenåringssønn, krangle med fetteren sin om hvorvidt hodeplaggene i nasjonaldraktene egentlig var nødvendige.
