Update #2

So I haven't posted in a few days because I've been helping my Dad do up his house and it was very tiring.
Anyway, now my plan for the next week is to have a proper look into NoW (Norwegian on the Web) and do a review. This is another free resource that I haven't actually used yet so I want to see if it stands up to the book courses and how it compares to other online courses.
Other things I have been doing to help my Norwegian have been listening to the radio and watching the Norwegian news on TV, but this has met with varying success! The podcasts KlarTale are pretty easy to understand as it's basically just a guy reading the news very slowly and clearly so it is good to get a feel for the rhythm of the language, but when you move onto watching the news, as you can on NRK you do notice a massive jump in the speed at which real news readers speak at. I did try the other day to watch the bulletin whilst doing housework and I repeated it a couple of times, but in all honesty at the moment a lot isn't really going in so it's more background noise at the moment. However, I think that is better than nothing as obviously you get the odd word and the more exposure you have to the language the better.
One good resource I used to use quite a lot is Lang-8, a website where you write something in the language you're trying to learn and someone corrects it for you. This is great as obviously you get to practice writing in the language and you get actual feedback on what you've written, which unless you're in a class you don't get normally.

That's it for now but check back for my experiences on NoW and anymore tips, sites and videos I come across over the next week!
