The Visual Norwegian Dictionary | Your ultimate guide to mastering Norwegian vocabulary with vivid illustrations ✓ Learn more…
From school lessons, everyone knows visual dictionaries that show a drawing or a photo of the word in addition to the vocabulary. These picture dictionaries are extremely practical and support learning in a visual way. The memory stores not only the letters of the word but also the corresponding object visually. Depending on what type of learner you are, the pictures make learning the vocabulary much easier.
For Germans who want to learn Norwegian, there is such a visual dictionary for the Norwegian language. Unfortunately, there is nothing comparable for “English- Norwegian”. But since you want to learn visually, this should not be too important.
The “Visual Dictionary Norwegian-German” from Coventgarden Publishing promises over 12,000 words and phrases in Norwegian and German. The price is 9.95 euros. Here I present you the book once!

As you can see, this Norwegian dictionary hardly leaves out a topic and goes into depth in every area. Thus, beginners and advanced learners alike should be able to learn and work well with this dictionary. My conclusion is that this book is a helpful addition to learning Norwegian.
Another advantage if you are learning other languages is that Coventgarden has visual dictionaries for more than 15 other languages. The visual dictionaries are all structured in the same way. Thus, one experiences another learning advantage due to the uniform structure.
Advantages of Learning Norwegian with a Visual Dictionary
Learning a new language can be a challenging but rewarding experience. One effective tool to assist language learners is a visual dictionary. When learning Bokmål, utilizing a visual Norwegian dictionary can offer numerous advantages, making the process more enjoyable and efficient. If you learn Norwegian with an online course (e.g. 17-Minute-Language Norwegian or Babbel Norwegian, a dictionary seems old fashiones, but is a great complement.
