In reply to your enquiry re "shorter things," in my own particular case, I would certainly benefit -- in fact, the shorter the better. Although I am 100% interested in Old Icelandic, I find the level of this group way beyond mine. In fact, I thought I was logging in to a "beginners' " group. I thoroughly enjoy it, and I envy you your proficiency in translation,

a standard I eventually hope to reach.

Do you know of a beginners' group, I mean one where there is e-mail interaction, support and exercises, with feedback? I'm aware there are probably hundreds of courses in OI on the web, but I would prefer to be part of a group. Ideally, if you know of any such site in Iceland, could you please send me details.

By the way, I'm not actually a beginner, probably around lower intermediate level.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Michael

Alan emailed me that something has come up so that he won't be able to
continue with Laxdaela Saga until August. He has made such valuable
contributions to our translations that I would like to suspend the Laxdaela
Saga until he can come back.

We will be starting the Eyrbyggja Saga on Thursday. Are there shorter
things that folks would like to translate on Mondays for the next two
months?
