I rather doubt that it is good usage of time to write letters like the one
I just posted. The lessons themselves have plenty of easy texts to deal
with - and they contain all the vocabulary and grammar you need to
understand them. They're structured, not random.

If all you're willing to do to learn a language is to look at whatever has
arrived in your mail each morning then you are probably never going
to get very far anyway:)

If it really is somehow mystically better to have things in your e-mail
program than on the web then it is of course no problem to post bits
and pieces from the lessons every day:)

Absolutely everything in every lesson is always on topic - that has to
be interactive enough.

P.S. Text from lesson 4:

Óláfr gefr Svarti hatt, kníf ok hest góðan. Hann segir, "Far þú nú, Svartr,
ok finn bauginn
er dvergarnir Fjalarr ok Gandálfr hafa. " Svartr svarar, "En Óláfr, hví
gefr þú mér eigi mat?
Ek em svangr ok vil mat eta."Óláfr gefr hánum ost, graut, ok fisk ok segir,
"Hér hefir þú mat.
Far nú ok finn bauginn."

Svartr etr matinn er Óláfr gefr hánum. Hann segir, "grautrinn er þú gefr
mér er góðr, Óláfr.
Þú ert góðr konungr."

Svartr ferr nú ok finnr dvergana er hafa bauginn. Hann segir, "Dvergar,
gefið mér bauginn.
Óláfr konungr vill hann." Dvergarnir svara, "Vit viljum eigi gefa Óláfi
konungi bauginn.
Hann er illr konungr." Svartr er reiðr ok segir, "Gefið mér bauginn eða ek
veg ykkr!"
Dvergarnir eru eigi hraeddir. Þeir hlaeja ok Fjalarr segir, "Þú ert ragr
maðr, Svartr.
Þú vegr okkr Gandálf eigi. Vit gefum ykkr Óláfi eigi bauginn, ok far þú nú!"
Svartr hefir eigi brand. Hann hefir kníf, en knífrinn er eigi stórr.
Hann vegr eigi dvergana ok foerir Óláfi eigi bauginn.
