Old Norse Guide 2: The Old Icelandic Method

Something I likely should have posted prior to the post regarding Old Norse Noun Declensions, but here it is now not long afterwards. This is only one out of the two methods for pronunciation that I am aware of and it is the one that I prefer. The modern method is great for learning Old Norse and then being able to carry much of that into Modern Icelandic. I may post charts of those as well if people are interested.

The other day I got a worried person asking “why I bring politics into this” and why I am “not going to give an apology” to them because I don’t tolerate racism, xenophobia or misogyny. It was… the clumsiest attempt at emotional manipulation I’ve yet faced. I really hope that Nazis and their friends learn to read some day, because I think I do have it written down on this blog in several places that hey, fuck off.

These are from me to you, use as phone backgrounds if you want to! Click on them on my blog or reblog them to your own (I would appreciate it if you use any!) to get the full-size pictures.
