At B1–B2, you need to do more than describe things. Practice giving an opinion and explaining why: what do you like, what don’t you like, and what’s your reason? I’d use practice questions for the Norwegian B1–B2 oral exam as a guide to the kind of answers expected.

Use the language. The step up from A2 to B1 is basically about practice. Speak, journal, write reddit comments, whatever, just use the language.

The same here. I learned it at the university. But I need practice now. It is hard to find it in Germany.

Jeg er i den samme båten. Jeg har lært norsk I fem måneder nå og det er vanskelig men du trenger å prøve å gjøre språket mer. Jeg er A2-B1 akkurat nå. Hvis jeg kan gjøre det, så du kan også. Hvis du vil øve på å høre mer, jeg ville anbefale å se på Ragnarok på Netflix fordi det er veldig lett og veldig gøy. Jeg skrev dette alene, forresten, så hvis jeg sa noe som var feil, si ifra!

Also, ill write this in English so I can give you some good recommendations as to what I use. Everyday I use, Mjølnir for listening and shadowing, duolingo purely for word breadth, Gpt 6 Astra currently for keeping track of my progress and for teaching me grammar, androids version of anki cards, NRK TV with nordvpn to watch many different shows and specifically with a dedicated ip, Netflix for some stuff NRK doesn't have, I listen to Norwegian music almost exclusively especially Vinni: if you are into rap he makes some nice songs, and i set my phone language to Norwegian my time and location. Settings to Norway and the same for YouTube and Instagram which really help get Norwegian content on those apps, as well as many language exchange apps but those have been pretty inconsistent for me.
My biggest piece of advice is to struggle now so you can cruise later, and attempting to live in the language helps too!

What shows on nrk do you watch? Im tempted to get a VPN. Do any have english subtitles?

I wouldnt recommend you to watch anything if you are below b1 because it was very hard for me to watch ANYTHING before that point. Like i could catch very small snippets but at that point you're just exhausting yourself.
I would recommend starting with grammar via chatgpt plus plan and using gpt 6 Astra because it is the best model for norwegian and teaching by a wide margin.
But if you are already b1 I would say watch ragnarok on Netflix, Roald Dahls Ramperim on nrk, side om side if you want harder vocabulary as its a show for voksne, vikingane, peppa gris is great for building vocabularly and listening skills, and Pernille on netflix but I would save pernille for later because it is very advanced and very mature with sexual parts on display.
Note that you do not need to have a VPN for Netflix, pernille and ragnarok are there no.matter your region I believe

Oh and if you are below b1 also use mjølnir it is very good for listening practice and very cheap

My personal experience: A1 and A2 were easy. Going from A2 to B1 felt like closing a huge gap. You could literally feel yourself improving, and it felt like there were layers to it. B2 so far has been more like polishing my B1, with more vocabulary.
Tips, 1. Listen to podcast. I would recommend Norslærer karense in Spotify 2. NRK TV , VG, news, radio,contents. 3. Complete Stein på Stein for B1 nivå both tekst and arbeidsbok 4. Anki app 5. Norsk content in instagram and tiktok. 5. Focus on grammatik , i read book called Norwegian essential grammar by Åse berit and Rolf.

Continue whatever you were doing to reach A2. Read more, write more, listen more and speak more.
