What it actually is

NRK's streaming service is free and advertising-free, with drama, documentaries, news and a large children's catalogue, and Norwegian subtitles on a good proportion of it — which is what turns passive watching into study. It is also the best place to hear the range of Norwegian dialects rather than only Oslo speech. The catch is licensing: a large part of the catalogue is geoblocked outside Norway, and NRK Super's children's programming is the easiest starting point.
