I want to learn something new so I'm choosing to learn the Norwegian language. Is it a hard language? Can someone here teach me the basics or link to a place that can

Hi, Norwegian here. Cool to see someone taking an interest in our language. First off, good luck. No dialect is spoken anywhere near how things are written, I assume most learning material will teach you the Oslo-area dialect which everyone can understand anyway. We have 2 written languages, ignore "ny-norsk" completely, it's dead. Don't know what else to add, as I've never had to put in any effort to learn it of course.
As for "teach me some Norwegian", here you go:
Æ / æ is pronounced the same as A in apple or angry.
Ø / ø is pronounced roughly the same as U in uncle or uhm.
Å / å is pronounced the same as O in On or Option.
