If you are referring to Gothic or Gotish, as in the eastern branch of Germanic languages, then I know of a few links. ;) Let me know if this is what you are...
LOL I feel the same way. I've tried to get a handle on learning the language myself and when I tried the 'beginners' course, I quickly felt my brain groan...
Although I wasn't able to find an English translation of the "Hrafnkel's Saga Freysgoða" on the internet, I did manage to find one that was published in book ...
I'm a bit confused. Is not this discussion group centered around the norse course found at www.hi.si/~haukurth/norse? If this is indeed the case, then why is...
... It is indeed. More correctly, it was founded as a discussion forum in support of that course. However it was decided fairly early on (while both course...
Greetings! I have been on the list for many months and have completed the courses, but I do not write here for the same reasons. It does appear very high level...

I'm very humiliated about my last e-mail, which I realize was more than a bit off-topic (as Arlie so graciously pointed out) HOWEVER, that doesn't stop the...
A little confidence booster for all those who feel afraid to appear ignorant: Way, way earlier in the school year, I was in the spelling bee. The entire...
Wow, thanks for that. ^_^ I am in the middle of Lesson 3 already and I must say that I actually LOVE this course. But ofcourse with my failure in Spanish I am...
Hi everybody, I have already posted two or three "neewbie" question about the Old Norse. I understand very well the sentiment of "ignorance" that beginenrs...
Heill Haraldr, I understand your sentiment entirely. It is indeed hard to please everyone, and we need to be able to accommodate all skill levels. I,...
Hi, Teja. Yes, I too am a newcomer to this course. I don't seem to have made it much past lesson one at the moment as I spend most of my time trying to keep up...
Hello Xigung, About the graphemes <ä> and <ö>. ... The german (fraktur) letters <ä> and <ö> where initially written as A and O with a small <e> ontop of...
Me too, seems to be a lot of newcomers at the moment. A group of friends and I at school are actually getting together and learning Old Norse off the courses...
This is a perfect example of what I am not interested in. The symbols do not intimidate me, as in the dim dark past I used to program in APL, which is mostly...

Thank you, Gordon, for your account of the history and wanderings of the double-dotted o. On second thought, I am not so sure I have actually seen the German...

My most dearest Norse_Course discussion group: As was discussed earlier: I really wish Haukur had the time and enthusiasm to continue writing more lessons. He...
nobody has ever chastised someone for asking a question on learning subject matter. i think everyone here is kind of over exaggerating the severity of the...
another thing that might be fun is, while doing this, discuss meter and verse forms(i.e. ljodahattr). what makes it poetry? the implications that it has from...
Hi Raymond, first, thanks for these texts, I don't understant everything, but when I'll do lesson 7, I'll we surely understand. It is a good idea to post some...
Heill Jarrod, It would indeed be an interesting exercise to look at how metre affects the structure of the verse. This is one of the reasons why Skaldic poetry...
