That's *very* nice to hear :) Truth is, I'm barely out of college
(gymnasium) and Haukur just started uni (doing engineering); we're
nowhere near being professionals, hence we don't charge for these
lessons (now I just ruined our credibility...:) This is our first
course of this kind, and we're making it by ourselves; for all these
reasons, we're excited about the progress and need confirmation that
it's working all right. If this course continues to be successful,
we're going to want to do more courses like this one (or I will).

Really? That probably means that Icelandic got it from Danish which
got it from German; plenty of cases of such transactions.

Thanks for the support :)
