2. That's an interesting question |
|
Sorry I can't help you. But why do you need someone who can speak those languages?

3. I'm in an Old Norse class and the pronunciation/spelling is difficult. |
|
I'll just talk to some of the people in the class that speak Swedish or Norwegian already.

I took several Scandinavian Studies classes in college and really enjoyed them (I'm Swedish). :hi:

9. Thanks. I'll ask you some stuff when questions arise. |
|
Right now I'm just learning pronunciation and noun inflections. Since we are using Modern Icelandic pronunciation rather than Old Norse pronunciation, your input would be very valuable.
