I'm getting plenty of listening practice in the car but lately I've been having trouble finding time to read. I'll try to catch up this weekend.

Norsk

I'm starting to understand why people read HP in L2. For Norwegian, it looks like HP is not even available so when I finish Duolingo I might be reading Artemis Fowl--which will no doubt leave me wishing I could read HP. I will have a bottle of aquavit handy to kill the pain.

Norwegian will be a lean learning experience compared to Russian. I won't have Assimil, almost no LingQ, no Glossika, no lib.ru, no Interns, no "Echo of Moscow".

The six national Norwegian newspapers look like the same newspaper and seem to consist of big pictures of celebs and 50 word articles. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

I'm hesitant to attempt books written in Norwegian with no English translation with shaky Duolingo skills this summer. So right now I'm thinking it will be Artemis Fowl followed by Dan Brown followed by ... some real to-be-determined Norwegian authors. Subject to change.

Still focused mainly on Duolingo and limiting this language to 15 minutes a day.
