Reddit reviews Norwegian-English/English-Norwegian Practical Dictionary (Hippocrene Practical Dictionaries (Hippocrene))

Get a good dictionary first. I got this Norwegian dictionary off of amazon. It has both Norwegian to English and English to Norwegian which is super helpful. If you’re really serious about teaching yourself, I would recommend downloading Anki. It’s a free flash card software for your computer but it’s special because the frequency of when it shows you certain words is based on how well you know them. It maximizes learning and retention with the least amount of studying. From there you can search on their website for pre made language decks (there are a few Norwegian decks) or you can make your own. I’m currently making my own. Lastly, consume as much Norwegian content as you possibly can. The more content you are consuming, the more familiar and language will become. You will start to notice certain words, become familiar with how the language sounds, and as you learn more vocab you can use this content to challenge yourself more and more.

TLDR:

1. Get a dictionary (this will be your main resource)
   
2. Download Anki (for acquiring and retaining words)
   
3. Consume lots of Norwegian content (become more polished and challenge yourself)
