Ordhistorier (Word Stories)

education, language, learning · EN-GB

Ordhistorier, which means Word Stories, is a podcast that explores the etymology of Norwegian words and their relationship to English and other languages. Whether you're looking to learn Norwegian, a fan of linguistics or a language teacher, Ordhistorier aims to uncover the stories behind everyday words and some of the most tantalising cognates in the Indo-European language family. The podcast is also offered in a video form which features extensive data visualisation, as well as the occasional foray into 3D binaural audio, so I recommend headphones for the best experience.
