I have added a new text, anticipatory of lesson 2, to the course homepage
(http://www.hi.is/~haukurth/norse/). Óskar wrote it, I think it's pretty good.

Also in the news.

Lesson two is scheduled to start tomorrow or possibly tonight (Icelandic
time).

The following links have been added to the link section of this e-group.

Let me particularely recommend the Jónas Hallgrímsson site if you are
interested in hearing Icelandic read (clearly).
