LOL! Yeah, Old Norse is another one I'm interested in at the moment, on account of I'm reading these Old Norse epics right now. I actually live in a community with a lot of Norse influence (my Dad even speaks some Norwegian, though of course the language has changed considerably from Old Norse), so I'm hoping someone around here has donated some textbooks to a library or sold them to a used bookstore or something. But so far I'm still in the market for textbooks, and meanwhile I pick up what I can from online tutorials. I'm hoping to find a computer program with multimedia features so you can hear the language out loud--I find languages a lot easier to pick up that way than if I just try to pick it up from a textbook alone.
