Recommendations on Norwegian language programs for beginner

Hi!

I've just recently moved to Norway and am looking for a Norwegian language program online (I live in Sandefjord). I'd love any recommendations that you've been happy with. I've checked out the Alfaskolen website but not sure about alternatives. Also, they seem to be quite expensive. I think I need a structured program as I'm really busy otherwise and don't have much time to try and figure out what to learn myself. Thanks!

I did Speaknorsk in person as well as online and really emjoyed how structured it was. It is expensive but they do have a fair amount of deals on throughout the year. Even 50% off is still expensive but I saw it as an investment and for me was what I needed to push through with the videos and get the work done. I did do Inlearn but that was when they were free as now I think they charge. I would recommend getting a grammar book and familiarising yourself with those terms in english and norwegian as that'll be really helpful if/when you decide to do a course. Usually there's plenty om Finn.

there's an app called Memrise that's a really similar concept to duolingo but way better. Also check out the youtube channel Norwegian with Ilys, I found it to be really helpful. I'm just starting out to, but this is what has worked for me so far
