Hail Grim,
One or other of our Members will be posting a section of the Story of Auðun and the Bear, and we post our translations and get feed back and some very helpful corrections.
Auðun's story is done by Alan at present, usually Sarah, but another story Hrafnkel's Saga could be revived in May, by Alan and that would be good because it was abandoned as I understand it about third of the way through.
Have you had a look through the Norse course
http://www.hi.is/~haukurth/norse/

there, it is a good place to start, and you might need a dictionary too, - Zoëga is good.
Wish you well
Patricia

Hail all!

I'm Grimnir, a heathen and member of Heathens For Progress. What's the
format for the course here? Do we just work through the lessons in the
Files section?

I've never studied ON before but it's getting to the point where I'm
needing to make my own mind up about the writings of the sagas and
eddas, and the only real way to do that is to attempt to translate them
yourself! That way, at least the translation is one which you will be
comfortable with lol.

So, any tips, pointers etc. greatfully accepted :)

In frith,
Grim
