This was way back in 2018:

Upon discovering that Norwegian is not French enough, I dropped the language immediately. What a joke, can’t they even say ‘bonjour’ instead of... what was it again?
No that’s not true, iguanamon wrote a really nasty email to me and told me I must learn Haitian Creole or else ummm... what did he say... okay okay he never said anything nasty to me at all!
The real reason is Norway is too peaceful = not enough action. After watching truck loads of Hollywood action films from the 80s and 90s (think Arnie, Bruce Willis, JC Van Damme) dubbed by me in French... okay I imagined they were speaking French here and there, and I also took the liberty to relocate the films to various parts of Norway, you know the American looking parts, yeah yeah those parts of Norway, whatever they’re called, I’ve been sorely disappointed to learn that none of these films really took place there! So no, I cannot accept this betrayal. Norwegian has to go.

See my log for an alternative reason.Sorry guys, I was really excited with this irrational short-lived
action-packed peaceful Norwegian affair. Maybe we’ll meet again
Now, pfft, getting back to reality, this is now:
I'd to reinstate my request. Yes, I've been up to no good - learning Norwegian since the start(ish?) of the year-ish?. I'm sure this will send waves of shock (as well as shock waves, shock-waves and shockwaves), despair and upright, outright and downright feelings of complete and otter (as well as utter) hopelessness throughout the Norwegian speaking world. That's right Norwegian people, a better Norwegian speaker than you, the natives themselves is soon to grace your language - more fluent than the most fluent things that are fluent ever in anything with any kind of fluent-ness is about to rewrite the whole history of levels of fluency.
Currently using a mixture of:
Hugo's Norwegian in Three Months,
Pimsleur Norwegian 1 and
Learn Norwegian by Sverre Klouman. Constantly on the look out for spending more $ on Norwegian course books
Where's your face even at?
This time I am expecting massess of fan emails and that this thread will become so popular, that the whole internet will have to be permanently shut down. Of course, if none of this happens, I've basically gone off and avoided the whole global crash of the internet in a 5 minute break at work. That's the kind of thing I do, you see?
