Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
In the 11th century, Old Norse was the most widely spoken European language! Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, Danish, and Faroese are just some of the direct descendants of Old Norse. This course will focus on West Norse and will teach much of the basics of reading and writing the language as well as some of the language's spoken aspects. The course will be taught using the Roman alphabet with a supplement on the Runic systems. Come and enjoy some good old-fashioned Viking fun and Old Norse comic books with us!
