In this video, you'll learn how to introduce yourself in Old Norse, the language of the Vikings. Even though this language is very old, it has some surprising similarities to modern English. This is even more obvious when you hear Old Norse spoken.
Here you can see that the phrase Ek kem fra is almost exactly the same as the English "I come from". There are a lot of these similarities throughout Old Norse. It also shares quite a few familiar features with German. The Norse "thu" is similar to the German "du".
This makes learning Old Norse relatively easy, especially if you know any European language. German, French, English, and Spanish can all help you learn the language of the ancient Vikings!
