Tues: are you and introvert or an extrovert?
I'm an introvert in the traditional sense where I get re-energised from being alone. But I'm not shy at all.

Norwegian TV shows you don’t need a VPN to watch
With us being all on lockdown, there’s a lot of time for language-learning, and a fun way to do that is to watch TV shows in your target language. For Norwegian-learners, NRK TV has a lot of choice. Although a lot of shows are geoblocked, there are many that are available worldwide, so here are some that I like. Feel free to reblog and add your own!
Current Affairs & Talk Shows
Kveldsnytt - daily news featuring the main headlines, sport and weather. Usually 15-20 minutes long, features news from in Norway and worldwide. Really good starting point for breaking into Norwegian TV.
Debatten - debate show about current political issues, usually 30 minutes long. Host speaks very clearly with an easy dialect, guests vary but tend to be well-spoken.
Einig? - 2-4 people sat in a room trying to have sensible discussions about politics
Sånn Er Norge - another good show for breaking into Norwegian TV as it covers cultural aspects of Norway and the host speaks in clear Oslo dialect.
Quiz Shows
Hva Feiler Det Deg? - medical quiz show where a team of three doctors go head-to-head with a team of three normal people with internet access to try and guess a person’s medical condition. Lots of medicine-related vocab so ideal for anyone wanting to go into a medical profession
Nytt På Nytt - comedy quiz show about current affairs (Norway’s version of Have I Got News For You). Lots of slang and humour related to Norwegian celebrities and politicians so better suited to higher level learners.
Documentary
Fra Bølle Til Bestevenn - reality-documentary series following six dog-owners and their naughty doggos through doggy bootcamp with a pro trainer. If you don’t fall in love with Anton then we can’t be friends.
113 - documentary series following first responders in Trondheim. Again, good for those who are interested in medicine as you’ll pick up lots of relevant vocab. Dialects vary but you’ll get a good helping of trøndersk.
Dialektriket - documentary series about different dialects throughout Norway. Super interesting if you wanna learn more about dialects and how they’re perceived by Norwegians.
Folkopplysningen - documentary series about how easily we’re influenced, covering topics related to health, science, politics, media and all sorts. Andreas speaks really clearly so it’s good for A2+
Evig Ung - documentary series about ageing and how to avoid it. Good for science nerds wants to learn/practice science-y vocabulary.
Drama
SKAM - well, it had to be mentioned! Chances are you’ve already watched (or at least heard of) this show. Lots of drama, romance, scandal and everything else you’d want from teenagers living it up in secondary school (linked episodes have english subtitles).
Blank - drama series about teenagers being teenagers. Kinda similar to SKAM but it follows completely new characters each season and is a bit less OMG DRAMA.
Lovleg - series following 16yo Gunnhild starting a new life at a new school in Sandane. Also similar to SKAM with slightly less drama. Mostly vestlandsk dialects. Wlw in season 2.
Comedy
Side Om Side - sweet and light-hearted sitcom based around the day-to-day lives of three very different families.
Parterapi - comedy series about couples in partner therapy. Short (10 min) episodes.

I haven’t seen this language app mentioned around here so I thought I’d share it with you all.
Duoreading is a really useful (+free) reading resource for language learning. It has several books available including Harry Potter, The Little Prince & Alice in Wonderland, with parallel text so you can read in your target language with your native language alongside it. It also lets you highlight individual words and translates them. It has English, Russian, German, Spanish, French & Italian available.
I started Hebrew, which is why I’ve been dead on this blog, but I don’t think I can ever properly convey to you guys the sheer cultural whiplash of spending years learning Japanese from Japanese teachers and then trying to learn Hebrew from an Israeli
Japanese: you walk into class already apologizing for being alive Hebrew: you walk into class, the teacher insults you and you are expected to insult her back
Japanese: conjugates every single verb based on degree of intended politeness, nevermind keigo and honorifics Hebrew: Someone asked my teacher how to say “excuse me” and she laughed for several seconds before saying we shouldn’t worry about remembering that since we’ll never need to say it
Japanese: if you get one stroke wrong the entire kanji is incomprehensible Hebrew: cursive? script? fuck it do whatever you want, you don’t even have to write the vowels out unless you feel like it
Japanese: the closest thing there is to ‘bastard’ is an excessively direct ‘you’ pronoun Hebrew: ‘bitch’ translates directly
The span of human experience is so insane.

stayed home today to catch up on sleep as I've been struggling with that lately. after an extra few hours, it was much easier to get back into the groove & make some new notes on an old topic 📝

18.02.2020 // brown sugar and cinnamon lattes are my faaaaaavorite. it’s been raining for solid weeks now with only having had a few sunny days here and there. it can be a real bummer on the mood, and make it hard to get out of bed each morning, but i’m trying to hone in on the “cozy vibes” until spring finally comes to brighten up the world.

ig: herdrafts I usually study languages in the mornings at the weekend, I have more time to focus on learning and I also have more alone-time which I often do crave. My routine is almost the same; after making coffee and had breakfast I open my textbook and I start writing down the new lesson. This time I decided that I had to study Japanese, also I wanted to watch some subtitled anime episodes for listening practice. Don’t you think that Japanese sounds really cute?

Now that it’s spring, campus is turning beautifully green. I thought my chem prelab analysis should follow suit.
