\u00c5 lese avis er en veldig god m\u00e5te \u00e5 l\u00e6re seg spr\u00e5k. <\/b>(Reading newspapers is a very good way to learn languages.) Enten du liker korte eller lange artikler, finner du garantert noe \u00e5 bryne deg p\u00e5. <\/b>(Whether you like short or long articles, you\u2019ll certainly find something to \u201dsharpen your mind\u201d.) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

You can very easily find norske aviser<\/b> (Norwegian newspapers) by searching online. Sometimes, however, you might prefer papiraviser<\/b> (\u201dpaper newspapers\u201d) instead of nettaviser <\/b>(online newspapers)\u2026 It might for example be a little bit difficult to fold your computer into a hat!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in Norway, you can generally buy aviser<\/b> in kiosker<\/b> (kiosks) and supermarkeder<\/b>. Go check if you understand overskriftene <\/b>(the headlines)! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The easiest headlines for language learners usually are in tabloidavisene<\/b> (the tabloids), which also have a lot of fotografier<\/b> to help you understand the context. If that\u2019s not your thing, buy a more \u201dserious\u201d newspaper and jump straight to tegneseriene<\/b> (the comics) or the sudoku <\/b>when it gets too difficult! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Norske aviser<\/b> are either lokal<\/b> [lohKAHL] or landsdekkende<\/b> (countrywide). Some lokalaviser<\/b> come from big cities and are read (or skimmed!) by lots of people. Here are some of the most common newspapers to check out:<\/p>\n

\u2022 VG<\/b> [veh geh] is short for Verdens Gang<\/b> (\u201dThe State\/Affairs of the World\u201d). It\u2019s an easy-to-read tabloid.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Dagbladet<\/b> (\u201dThe Day Magazine\u201d) is another popular tabloid<\/p>\n

\u2022 Aftenposten<\/b> (\u201dThe Evening Post\u201d) is the biggest newspaper in Norway. It\u2019s published in Oslo.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Bergens Tidende<\/b> is published in Bergen.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Adresseavisen<\/b> comes from Trondheim<\/p>\n

Of course, if you really fall in love with a particular avis<\/b>, you might consider to abonnere p\u00e5 den<\/b> (subscribe to it). If you haven\u2019t got a lot of money, you can try to find a gratisavis<\/b> (free newspaper) somewhere. Those are often just as good as the paid ones for learning Norwegian.<\/p>\n

Some of the things you find in Norwegian newspapers are nyheter<\/b> (news), leserbrev<\/b> (letters from readers) and anmeldelser <\/b>(reviews). A cool detail is that Norwegian reviewers often use terningkast<\/b> (\u201ddice throws\u201d \u2013 side 1-6 of a die, but not <\/i>thrown randomly!) instead of stars to rate filmer<\/b> (movies) and b\u00f8ker<\/b> (books).<\/p>\n
