Norwegian resources from this blog

After 4+ hours of collecting and organizing my Norwegian posts, I have decided to put them all into a big resource masterpost. These are resources from about a year of posting. I hope you all find these helpful!

There are 200+ word of the day posts on my blog, and making a link for every one of them would take an eternity. Therefore, I advise you to just search on “wordoftheday” on my blog and all the posts should show up. Here is a link to the search. 

I have somehow highlighted the more useful resources in this list!

I have tried my best to gather absolutely everything, however something tells me I have left out one or two posts. Also, if you find any mistakes or typos, please let me know so I can correct them!
