1. A DUer named "Frozen Hamster" is/was from Iceland

not sure if he is still active. Might be worth a PM.

7. I'm still here

Been wrapped up in school, a long trip to Thailand, and work but am back now.

2. That's an interesting question

Sorry I can't help you. But why do you need someone who can speak those languages?

[JVS]

3. I'm in an Old Norse class and the pronunciation/spelling is difficult.

I'll just talk to some of the people in the class that speak Swedish or Norwegian already.

4. Where does one find a school that teaches old Norse? I think less

people speak that then Latin.

6. Sounds like an interesting class.

I took several Scandinavian Studies classes in college and really enjoyed them (I'm Swedish). :hi:

8. I speak Icelandic and I'm happy to help n/t

9. Thanks. I'll ask you some stuff when questions arise.

Right now I'm just learning pronunciation and noun inflections. Since we are using Modern Icelandic pronunciation rather than Old Norse pronunciation, your input would be very valuable.
