I really wish that there was a college that offered norse as a language course... I do much better with an actual teacher than trying to learn on my own.

In Frith,

Hi,
 
As a new member I have completed the basic 9 lesson course in Old Norse.There is another more
detailed course in On Line Old Norse which I have been studying and I saw that this goes into
much more details and covers a wide range of grammar such as various types of nouns(male,female, neuter).Also the course explains the concepts of possesive pronous,strong and weak v
verbs, subjunctive tense,past and present,and a wide variety of  other basic concepts.I don't have the knowledge and experience as you folks but now it seems one should  start to get involved in the
translations and I thought the tattuinardoela saga might be a good place to start since it is 5 pages
long.
 
In summary,I think or (hope) I have enough familiarity with a fairly considerable broad base of the
grammar to get my feet wet.One can't just keep memorizing and studying without using the knowledge in practical applications.
 
Any advisory suggestions would be appreciated.
