Years later, I do offer Zoom classes in Old Norse now. The summer semester begins June 2, 2024: tinyurl.com/oldnorsesummer2024

Hello Mr Jackson Crawford. I'm interested in this summer classes but I'm unsure what would be the ideal class for me, beginner or advanced. Would you recommend the advanced class for someone that completed all these videos (up to "class" 28) and exercises in them? Or should I stick with the beginner course?

"Who is that educated stranger?" "That's Jackson Crawford... Viking Cowboy."

I took a class at CU with Jackson, and let me tell you... this man is worth his weight in gold. The mans personality, sense of humor, and character is what everyone should aspire to.

As someone who has taken multiple years of French, and a year of German, i cannot believe this is the first time someone has made that surfer dude connection.... That would've helped so many students pronounce correctly

As a Swede who has lived nearly a decade in Britain and spoken English since I was 7, a lot of these words just sounded natural. I was like "when is he getting to the Norse version of the words?" before I realised those WERE the Norse words.

Dang, wish I had this series when I started out self-teaching Old Norse. Glad to see this series has finally kicked off.

Do you hear that sound? It's the joyful singing of language gods as our favorite Old Norse cowboy bestows knowledge upon us. This is a great start to a series and an invaluable lesson. Too many KZread channels give pronunciation on dead languages but don't give sources or their credentials. Glad we have this for Norrønt.

It is an honor to learn old Norse from the translator himself 💜

Damn, this guy is brilliant at what he does.

I dont understand how more people aren't infatuated with language....it is the most fascinating thing in the world to me to learn how all these different groups of people came up with different ways to say the same things ...

Welp I’m about to dive into translating Eddic poetry for the MA course without having taken the Old Norse prerequisite so here’s to KZread University catching me up on everything.

Enjoyed this lecture from Germany. Thank you very much! Danke!

As a Norwegian I can say that this is quite awesome

As a Swede I agree.

14:18 "I am the one who knocks.." Think we'd miss that Breaking Bad reference?

Now I understand why my great Grandfather called me "Heath-rrr" instead of Heather. He went deaf in WWI and I guess that might be how a Swede would pronounce it if they never heard the name before!

I'm glad to have a reliable source for this language

...Mister Crawford, I really ❤ (love) You and what You are doing... many thanks... Marco (...just one of the many faithful followers)

Hint from a choral singer: start with more breath behind it than you think you need, even if you need to put an "h" behind it at the beginning to force through the roll. After you get used to that, you can back off a bit and still keep the flip/rolled "r."

Oh, if only all university professors knew how to teach like this fellow does.

You are a good man, sir. As a descendant of Scandinavians I thank you for keeping alive the language and culture of my ancestors.

Part 2 popped up on my screen as soon as you said it won't be easy in part I swiftly went straight to part 1

You are a blessing. I live in this channel now.

gonna add this for all the fellow Italians here: "g" is actually pronounced like our "gh", so it's a "hard g" - for example "eigi" would be pronounced as our "eighi"

Kind of, but it's actually the Spanish sound in "lago," (a fricative) not the Italian one (a plosive).

Really appreciate Ur work Jackson. Thank you.

Such a beautiful landscape.

I've been into Norse culture and mythology for a while and finally decided to give the language a try. thank you so much for making these free!!! i actually just finished assassins' creed Valhalla so its pretty cool to see someone who gave insight to that game here teaching us as well. again thank you so much!!!

For the longest time I've had a fascination with Old Norse, and Norse Mythology in general. I wanted to learn the language so bad but never found anything decent. You sir, are gift sent from heaven. Thank you for this series. But sadly my classes take priority over this, I'll do it on the down low, whenever the workload isn't as heavy. Thanks for this, you don't know how much this means to me !

Thank you for this amazing video! Greeting from the Czech Republic!

Thanks! This is the most helpful video I've come across so far!

Yes thank you so much! The one thing thats been holding me back in teaching myself ON is a lack of resources on foundational vocab.... But here is Jackson Crawford to the rescue!!!

I genuinely wouldn't want to learn this any other way lmao you're great.

Excellent! I'm so excited for this series; haven't taken notes like this in years 😊

I don't know why, but being Greek makes it really easy for me to pronounce some of this stuff. Lovely language! Thank you for your lessons

Just want to say thank you for posting this video, i have watched your videos on pronunciation in the past but to have a actual lesson style video is fantastic. I live in Australia and trying to find any old norse teachings over here is almost impossible. Thanks again.

The fact that people (supposedly college students) are more interested in the edda, than the sagas is pretty surprising, to be honest.

This is awesome i speak norwegian and i can understand a few so.crazy !great channel

Thank you for sharing your expertise with the world!

Thank you, Mr. Crawford! I love all your content.

I freakin' love you!!!!!!! Thank you so much for doing this. I am learning latin and ancient greek through a monolingual approach (luckily one of my best friends is a drengr like you

I’m stoked about this, I’ve been trying to get my head around old Norse for almost a year, but due to lack of knowing where to start etc it’s been a huge failure. I’m exited because this has structure, starting at the beginning, with someone who really does know the language well. You make it easy to digest in bite size pieces, great for slow learners like myself. Thank you so so much. The moment I get paid I will join Patreon, non to inundate you with questions but more so to help you keep this going.

This is amazing! Thank you for this! It’s funny how many of those words are pretty close to modern English.

I love this series, this got me into trying to find any info I can about old Norse

I’m glad someone is teaching this I’ve always wanted to learn another language and I found a language I’m actually interested in learning especially how no one will know what I’m saying if I do learn it

Yes! Very excited for this series of teachings.

this is just what i needed. very excited for the series

THANK YOU! This is what I wanted so much. I love your work.

I am so glad I found this today! Thank you Dr. Crawford!!

Dude, I love you. Thank you SO MUCH for putting up these lessons!

I just want to thank you for doing this, telling you that this may be finally a tipping point for me to start learning it, and to leave comment so your videos would be more favourable for KZread algorithm!

Thank you so much! We need more teachers like you!

Thank you so much for these series Dr. Crawford ! I am really excited 😊

From your videos I've been teaching myself Old Norse from E.V. Gordon and this video series has come at the perfect time. I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos.

Thanks Doc, just what I've been looking for. Given my age and occupied with work this is great. Always, thank you for all your time.

You are an amazing instructor! Thank you!

Thank you for bringing sanity back to Old Norse!

Thanks so much for doing this. I've started seriously working on learning Old Norse and have really been feeling the need for some more guidance. This is filling that need beautifully.

Jackson, you’re actually incredible.

Thanks a lot for this!!! It's very helpful, especially the vocabulary list and the fact that the video format really helps with hearing how words should be pronounced (written instruction are all well and good but it's always better to actually hear the language)!

This man is amazing at explaining pronunciation

Thankyou Jackson, this is brilliant I can finally understand someone who is teaching old Norse . Thankyou again

You're so awesome. All the books I have (yours included) help alot but trying to make it all into a language is rather hard by yourself. So from the bottom of my heart thank you so much!

Great video Dr and thanx for your hardwork 👍

I can’t wait to learn!!!

This is amazing, thank you thank you! Will definitely be joining in the upcoming lessons 🔥

Thank you very much for creating these. Next best thing to joining your classroom. For the most part. There is so much immersion involved I'd love to be a part of. But this is nice. Thank you for taking the time Mr. Crawford

It would be great to take an actual class from you. Your teaching is so clear and your pronunciation examples are so understandable! Thanks for putting this out there.

Awesome 'little' guide. Was scouring the web to find a guide on how to pronounce hold Norse as I wanted to record 'My mother told me' but without butchering the language. I actually was delighted to find you did a video specifically on that. Awesome stuff.

You are a superb lecturer I am fascinated by your ability and knowledge.

Very good information. I'm glad I found it. I've been wondering if anyone had ever taken the time to put something like these lessons together. Thank you.

This is pure gold!

Great work dr. Crawford and a big thank you as well! I'll be reviewing the video, pausing and copying the lessons. What a help indeed! Looking forward to future lessons, cheers!🍻

THANK YOU! Once I get a job, your Patreon will be the first one I'm going to subscribe to

Great! Im looking forward to the next episodes! Until then.. strenghten the vocabularies from this video ;) Thanks Jackson Crawford!!

He worked on AC Valhalla. Sweet. My favorite AC game.

Thank you SO MUCH! I'm learning to read ON and the consonants because of my background I have okay but the vowels are very different depending on dialect, region and language! Hearing the sounds and seeing the spellings used for the letter / sounds for ON is extremely helpful! I can now make a note of what makes me say the right sound for the letter to help me learn to use the proper sound. I subscribed :)

Oh my Odin! I was thinking about learning Old Norse for a long time. I've been searching for some stuff and tried to learn something, but for me it was hard to reach some useful materials. And now... here you are. My hero. I don't know how I found you. Maybe tt was an accident, maybe not, but I'm so happy. I wish you the best and good luck with this series. I hope that I'll shortly become a member of your Patreons group. From the bottom of my heart: you deserve it!

Thank you SO much Professor for this new series. Your videos have helped me a lot to prepare for my Germanic philology exam here in Italy, particularly on the grammatical analysis of the texts and speaking with the correcr reconstructed pronunciation. None is as clear and detailed as you are on this subject. I'm excited to follow your new series online and become more proficient in Old Norse.

Thank you so much for these videos! Me and my girlfriend want to learn Old Norse so eagerly!

Thanks so much for your continued work.

Thus is so helpful. Thank you so much!

Thank you a lot, been following the course as well. Greetings from Czechia!

Thanks from Scotland

Thank you! Thank you for doing this teaching series. I've only recently discovered your channel. I'm looking forward to learning Old Norse. I haven't taken notes like this in years. I bet my kids are going to get a kick out of quizing me on this vocabulary. (I homeschool and quiz them on spelling and vocabulary almost every day. So, this will give them a chance to take a piece of me for a change.) I'm very excited about this opportunity to learn from such a great teacher with such an engaging personality. I hope you keep your channel going for many years to come.

This is epic. I knew all the words, but "at" escapes me sometimes. Clearing up þó and þá helps alot. I'm gonna check out that patreon business. Thanks again for taking the time, it means alot to so many people.

Thank you Jackson for all this content and teaching.. as well as the Poetic Edda.

Fantastic teacher!

Thank you very much i appreciate you teaching those of us that want to learn about this but can't go to classes for it

Nice work man 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I was never good at learning languages. Even my own language but I will learn this. Thank you for making these videos!

Thank you!

Thank you. Gonna have to sign up with patreon now to help support these lessons!

I find it interesting that we have the vowel pronunciations, ö, y, trilled r, and stress on first syllable also in Finnish, although that’s a completely different language family, and we were never part of Scandinavia. Thank you for this video, very insightful!

The ö, triller r and initial-stress is the same for us Hungarians, only exception is that we use "ü" instead of "y" (but still the same sound). :3

Looking at those Rockies, remembering this is in Colorado, it reminds me of a friend of mine, a published author, who lives in that state. Robert Mullin. Plus, great teaching.

A new universal university is born. Thank you dr. Crawford.

I always knew old Norse looked very similar to icelandic, I love this video and will keep continuing to watch these

I read your translation of the Havamal 2x in a row cover to cover it was very good
