First of all, thanks for this great aid in language acquisition!
I was wondering if NRK from Norway could be an easy addition? I’m a Finn trying to learn Norwegian, and NRK is basically the local YLE in Norway. Plenty of interesting content in clear Norwegian and all with subtitles included, which is the tricky part with many YouTube videos.
In any case, thanks again for the effort with this extension and I’m glad I made the purchase.
With kind regards,
Ville
