Norwegian Resources: Vegard X Funkygine

letslearnnorwegian:

What it is:
Vegard x Funkygine is a collection of short videos on Youtube, following Vegard Harm (one of Norway’s currently most popular young comedic influencers) as he goes on a health and weight-loss journey with the help of Jørgine Vasstrand, a Norwegian fitness and health-blogger. 

How and why it might be a good resource for Norwegian learners:
- It’s not at all time consuming. Each video is usually around 5-10 min.
- It’s quite entertaining.
- It’s not too complicated– but still showcases a very “natural” Norwegian, with an abundance of jokes and slang you’d find being used among most young people in Norway these days
- While you’ll mainly be exposed to the typical “Oslo-dialect”, you’re also exposed to quite a few different dialects from around Norway
- it has Norwegian subtitles (always written in Bokmål, which is especially helpful when people are speaking in different dialects)

Where can I watch it?
Here’s a link to the Youtube-playlist! I’m able to watch it from Japan, so I think (and hope) it should be available for most countries.
