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. Ordhistorier is available on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.SUPPORT THE CHANNELIf you really enjoyed the video, you can help me fund future projects and help me become a Professional Content Creator® by becoming a member of the channel (click the Join button) or via Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/ParminderGill).
