Fast speed Norwegian
Real Norwegian at full speed, with NRK news, author interviews, and book events. People talk fast and bring many ways of talking into one video.
Fast Norwegian mixes many things: different ways of talking, easy talk, and news speed, all at once. NRK gives the national news in bokmål style Norwegian. But in interviews, people bring their own way of talking, with no help. So a person from Oslo and a person from Bergen can sound very different in the same video. Author interviews and book events use harder words than school Norwegian, mixed into normal talk. Fun young Oslo words like sykt, digg, helt konge, and schpaa show up next to normal Norwegian. English words show up a lot too, said in a Norwegian way. Watch once, and notice who is speaking and how easy or fast they sound. Then watch small parts again. Slow the video to 0.75x if you can. Write down the words that sound familiar, but that you did not fully understand.
