Hi Patricia and thank you for the lovely answer!
Well... old English is not so worse than norse! You can find differences in
grammar (that is more difficult than old norse) and in pronunciation.
Studying old english is also funny, because you can reach modern english and
understand why it is written in this so unusual way!
But I prefer norse,because you can reach better modern Icelandic and Nynorsk
(second written variant of Norwegian), that I surely like better!
Thak you for your patience!
I'm looking forward to read what you write about norse!

Lilli
