Alright everyone!

I need some money, so I decided I'm going to write a quick guide for Faroese grammar/vocabulary in just a few days, then sell it up on Lulu. After that I may do one for Icelandic since they're similar enough that the general lessons don't need all that many changes. The book (dunno how long it'll be) will show generalizations and ( Read more... )

Hey everyone! On the sticky post I wanted to have some short samples of each language, so what do you think would be good to put? Right now I just have some placeholder stuff, but you can translate it to the missing languages (or correct what's there) if you want to keep each language having the same thing. This is what I have right now ( Read more... )

...Or what are terms in English that don't have a translation into your language, that you'd ( Read more... )

Hi hi, I thought it could be useful to make notes on the handwriting of the "special characters" used in the Nordic languages (special as in "doesn't appear in standard English" and some not in many other languages either). These include Åå, Ää, Öö, Ææ, Øø, Ðð, Þþ ( Read more... )

Post some jokes in a Nordic language! Translations optional. I got these from the Nordic house ( Read more... )

How did you learn how to pronounce Ö, LL, R, and the "RN" like in barn, in Icelandic? I know what they sound like, I just can't get it right when I try to say it.

If there's any sounds in the language you're learning that you had to learn how to pronounce, you can post how you did it for other learners.
