Hail!

I apologize for not introducing myself earlier. I am a language teacher
myself (of Latin, as it happens). This is my first year in a new school and
I am doing major restructuring to the Latin program here, hence I spend most
of my time writing lesson planning myself. I have always wanted to really
learn Old Norse (I've dabbled before, but this is the first workable course
I have ever encountered), but I'm too busy to devote much energy to it right
now - I log in every so often to see what's happening, and I like what I
see, but I can't spend the necessary time on the course right now . . .

>1. How are we to know where the course works and where it should be

I hope to become a more active participant in the future (if you're still
running this course then!) . . .

>2. Why on Earth should we bother to write the course if no-one is going to
>use it?

I suspect there are others like me on this list - who like the course, would
love to use it, but right now are not as active as we'd like to be. I hope
you do not give up yet!

>Perhaps this web format isn't all that brilliant. Would you be interested
>in a CD?

Personally, I'm more of a book person myself - if it were a book, I'd buy
it. But the interectivity of the web format is very desireable - I just wish
I could interact with it now!

Wishing I could be of more help,
Colin Anders Brodd
