Subject: [norse_course] Hello
> Hello, my name is David Bahler, and i have used this course as an
> introduction to the Old Norse Language (Although i have since moved to the
> more comprehensive resources available at the University of Texas' website
> UTEXAS.EDU which by the way contains an EXCELLENT pronounciation guide and
> description of sounding and syllable rules.)
>
> I have been working on a story for some time, it is in a world based on
> the
> world of Norse Mythology. The languages spoken by the northern people of
> the
> world in my story will be several dialects and variations of Old Norse and
> perhaps Old English.
>
> I have run into a problem, however, in learning the language. The language
> is dead, and as such has no native speakers (Although i realise modern
> Icelandiic very simmilar, it is pronounced much differently than the old
> language and is therefore of little use for learning the sound of the
> language.) Without listening to the language, it is much harder to learn
> vocabulary. I learn what i can from the sagas and such literature but this
> is much slower than what can be achieved through conversation, even if not
> vocal.
>
> What i would truly like, though i do not posses the time or knowlege to
> make
> it possible, would be the creation of some sort of Old Norse forum or
> discussion board involving a large number of active members, such as those
> active on this mailing list, where there could be achieved actual
> conversation in the language at multiple skill levels. This would be
> horribly impractical on a mailing list as it would clutter your inbox with
> rapid speed. For those of us who would truly like to achieve a very deep
> knowlege of, even intimacy with, the language this would be a truly
> invaluable resource. i would offer what assistance i might in the creation
> of such a forum if there are those with the interest and knowlege to
> create
> it.
>
> Until what time this may be done, i must learn slowly through translation.
>
> Also, I own the Zoega Dictionary, but would like to know if there is a
> comprehensive dictionary that has an English to Old Norse ordering, as the
> Zoega dictionary contains only Old Norse to english. That is sufficient
> for
> now for translations, but is inadequate forfinding new words and creating
> original Norse works (I create my own Drotkvætt verses and am begining to
> write music in the "viking" style from what little evidence of such there
> is.)
>
> well that is all (for Now) i sincerely hope that perhaps my idea may
> someday
> become a reality.
