    I'm inspired to learn Norwegian because my favorite artists is Aurora (she's a Norwegian singer. Her songs are in English) and also listening to Wardruna. I am learning french currently and I'm no where near fluent. I don't even think I'm intermediate (I know basic stuff and some verb conjugations also). I know I should probably finish learning french first but I want to also learn Norwegian so badly, lol. I'm just going to do both and see how it goes.
    EDIT: Currently am not learning French anymore, wasn't feeling it really. I kind of gave up on learning Norwegian but some day I'm gonna get back into it for sure.

      I think you can learn french and Norwegian at the same time. It would be difficult to learn norwegian and German for example, because the languages are very similar. I am french and learning Norwegian because of Aurora too :)

      When I was in high school the only options were french and spanish. So I took a study hall instead and in the span of 3 years I learned German, Japanese and now that I'm out of school I want to learn Norwegian. I've never heard of the Skam show but I'll give it a try

    I love learning Norwegian. I wanted to learn a language so I went to a book shop in Liverpool, that had a big selection of languages but mostly the usual popular languages like French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian. While I was browsing I saw a little selection of Norwegian books and I don't know why but I was just instantly drawn to it and bought my first Norwegian book (Complete Norwegian by Teach Yourself).

      Re Norwegian - for me it is so easy to learn, and I started learning Norwegian about 5 days ago, and I can already understand over 80% of what is said in Norwegian in videos with only the Norwegian sub, and I must have memorized over two thousand words since I started! I’ve also been learning Dutch and Swedish for over one month, and I am now close to advanced level in Dutch and intermediate level in Swedish - Dutch and Swedish are also extremely easy to learn, esp if one is an English speaker, and Norwegian is even easier than Dutch when it comes to sentence structure, because the sentence structure is very flexible in Norwegian, and it is very similar to English! I usually try to prioritize at least two Germanic languages and at least one Latin language until I become fluent enough in those languages, as I have about 30 languages on my list that I want to learn and become fluent in - technically, I selected every language that is pretty-sounding and that has pretty words, and every Germanic language that I know of is on my list, and so far German itself seems to be the most difficult of all Germanic languages (mostly because of the spelling) but, luckily I already know over one thousand words in German because I learned song lyrics in the past and I also know a lot of food related terms and other nouns, and this will probably make it easier when I start learning German, and becoming fluent in Norwegian and Swedish and Dutch first will definitely help learning German faster!

      Don't worry! I'm learning Norwegian and I can't roll my r's too. Just tap your r's -- it's basically replacing all your r's with d-like sounds. :) It's known as an alveolar tap (which is common on Spanish and Italian).

    Great video! Amazing progress in learning! Congrats! I watched SKAM a looot!! Living in Oslo now makes it easier to learn norwegian! I am learning it myself. Nice approach with learning cursing words, there is not so many places you can find them or at least not so many people are open to talk about it. I used Nils book at the beginning of my learning process, I participated in preparation of the book. It is cool to see somebody is using it! I made similar video while I was studying with useful sources in description box.

    I started learning because I've converted to Norse Paganism and an acquaintance of mine suggested it, similar in a way to how jewish and christian folks would learn Hebrew to understand their faith more, and what shocked me was HOW MANY WORDS in english are Norwegian/Norse loan words! It gives me a lot of confidence in learning it, I also has to learn some Japanese while I was in Japan so I could get around and it gave me a good ground wotk for what is important first and I cannot recommend learning pronounciation first, learn the alphabet, memorize it and know it by heart because it makes learning words THAT much easier.

    I want to learn this language and more, because I'm fascinated about the language Vikings used to speak. Unfurtunately there's no classes about their language especifically, but there's languages that are a lot similar to it. Forgive me if I wrote something wrong, I'm Brazilian! Thank you.

      English and German are both West Germanic and Norwegian is North Germanic. However I found that Norwegian is much much easier to learn as an English speaker. Maybe because England has had many scandinavian immigrants and also England used to be ruled by the vikings so there are many cognates. Not only is the vocabulary easier in Norwegian than in German for an English speaker but also Norwegian grammer is much easier to learn too.
