Hei Scott,
"Hjemme hos meg" is correct in Norwegian, although I can see your point, it is a bit redundant. It is, however, the preferred phrase for "at my place" or "at my house". You can also shorten it to "hos meg", meaning "at mine", or "hjemme", translated as "at home". This last suggestion is used more often in Norwegian when speaking to others who live in the same home as you.
As to your note, thank you for pointing it out! I have notified those responsible.
Please don't hesitate to comment or ask questions again.

Hei
One question and one note.
Question: One of the examples here is: "Jeg skal ha en grillfest hjemme hos meg i morgen."
Is that correct / normal to have "hjemme hos meg"? That seems to be two things saying the same thing to me: "at home at my place". Would it be correct to just say "hjemme" or "hos meg" and not include both in a phrase?
Note: The text overlay in the video one one screen has "Jeg jobbe deltid ..". I believe that should be "jobber", not "jobbe".
