Hello Andy!
 
Welcome to the group.  Have you tried Barnes' A New Introduction to Old Norse ISBN 0 903521 45 8?  It also comes with an accompanying Reader and Glossary.  You should be able to get hold of them quite cheaply through the Viking Society for Northern Research based at University College London.  I find Barnes' explanation of the grammar more user-friendly than Gordon's.
 
Cheers,
Sarah.

Subject: [norse_course] Working My Way through E.V. Gordon's Old Norse


Greetings Old Norse Group

Happy New Year.  I have worked through the lessons on
the site which are really good and much appreciated.
I am now starting on E.V. Gordon's Introduction to Old
Norse starting with the Selections from the Edda's .
More at the translating not reading stage so doing a
written translation of it.  Would be good to hear of
anyones experiences with the Gordon text.   Also
picked up for £3 at Foyles in London Anthony Faulkes
Stories from the Saga of the Kings (text and notes) -
these are short stories (thattr) that were appended to
some of the large sagas. 

Hoping to be a more active of this group in the coming
months!

Best for the New Year!

Andy Higgins
