snakking norsk

I don't know whether I should be proud or ashamed to say that I worked on that very translation system before Google took it away.

Anyway, I use http://lexin.no/ as a dictionary.  It has the advantage that it doesn't provide translations into English, but explanations in Norwegian.  This will make for a steep learning curve, but that's a good thing.

That site's acutally pretty good! Nice one.

If anybody else has any free resources like this, please post!

When I started learning I used some software by "Before You Know It".

They do several languages including Norwegian. There is a version you can buy, but there is a cut down free version which is worth looking at. I started with the free one and then upgraded later. It doesn't help with grammar but is quite effective at expanding vocabulary.

Another useful link with a fair few words I doubt would be in a regular text book but that might be useful to people setting up home or looking for work.

I've been using google translate for quiet a while and been very handy so far. And for long I've been waiting for something that google has finally added - Translation of documents !!

Yes...for those of you who aren't aware of it and have been having a tough time at your work place, here it is...you can translate a whole document from a language to another...you just need to upload it and the rest follows.

Well if some1 is asking about accuracy....no complains as long as the work's done
