Norsk for Beginners is a podcast aimed at beginners of Norwegian (A1-A2). The episodes are structured in two parts: One Norwegian speaking part and the second in English, explaining the Norwegian part and examining some Norwegian vocabulary used in the episode. I speak Norwegian in a clear, slow and deliberate manner, perfect for beginners. Get some listening practice by listening to "Norsk for Beginners"!

I like being able to access the transcripts so I can read and speak along with the audio. The vocab lists for each episode are great for flashcards. Finally, love how the subject matter is information about the country.
Not too easy, not too hard! I really appreciate this podcast, mostly for selfish reasons because it’s right at my level of learning. Too many other shows can be way too slow and boring, filled with long pauses between each word/phrase and its translation before another painfully slow repetition of the word/phrase. Others can be too fast and don’t offer much in the way of translation at all, and unfortunately I’m just not there yet. This podcast is just right if you already have the basics down and you want to hear something a bit longer form, yet aren’t ready to consume Norwegian media on its own without translation. Thanks!
I love the format of the episodes. You get a chance to listen in Norwegian, than in English, then in faster Norwegian. Key vocab words are included each episode. And, the topics are interesting and teach about Norwegian culture, so you learn more about the country at the same time!
An excellent podcast for people learning Norwegian. Listeners hear the copy in three forms - first in very slow Norwegian, then in English, then in a fast, natural speaking voice. As an intermediate learner, I very much appreciated these three formats back to back.
