dunno how much this counts as thread necromancy, but here I go anyway!
I've been learning Norwegian very slowly for about a year and a half (haven't gotten very far, but it continues to be one of my favorite hobbies), and just thought I'd share some of the resources I've found and that other learners might find useful!!
One of my favorite ways to practice understanding is listening to music, and I recently found this playlist on Spotify that has REALLY good, interesting, beautiful songs in Norwegian, not just pop songs that make my ears bleed (no offense to Norwegian, I think every language has pop songs, or some songs in general, that make me shudder xD)!!! I've already found like 4 new really good bands from it:

She has a gorgeous voice and makes these ethereal, wonderful songs, and whenever I listen it brings back memories associated with the time I first started learning Norsk :,). I think my favorite song of hers is åpen bok
here's a sort of collection of her music:

)

soo, yeah, enjoy! I'm trying to think of non-musical resources, and other than a healthy dose of Quizlet and Duolingo, I did think this lady on YouTube was pretty useful (tho most of her videos are in Norwegian, so I would recommend watching these after building some vocabulary:
