Innovative and user-friendly, Viking Language 1 offers everything necessary to learn and teach Old Norse. The language of Vikings and Icelandic sagas, Old Norse is the basis of all modern Scandinavian Languages and is especially close to Modern Icelandic. Designed by a professor with 30 years’ experience teaching Old Norse and Icelandic, Viking Language 1 assumes no previous language training. In a straight-forward way, Viking Language 1 employs a modernword frequency strategy that speeds learning. You quickly learn how to read original saga passages and Viking Age runes from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Grammar and exercises relate specifically to the reading passages of the lesson This way, the student focuses directly on the issues at hand. Accurate maps and history sections explain the Viking Age, the settlement of Iceland, seafaring as well as saga writing and mythology. The companion volume, “Viking Language 2: The Old Norse Reader” provides an additional treasure trove of Old Norse information. You will read whole sagas and runic inscriptions.
