Velkommin, ǫll! In part one of this fifth episode, we start learning our first noun in Old Norse. Masculine nouns are arguable the most difficult to work with, but it will make learning our other two classes of nouns much easier! Words learned: maðr Music provided by Tunetank.com.
Velkommin, ǫll! In part two of our fourth episode, we apply what we learned in our previous episode to our pronouns from Episode 1.

Words learned: með, hitta, [accusative pronouns: mik, þik, hann, hana, þat, okkr, oss, yðr, ykkr, þá, þær, and þau]. Music provided by Tunetank.com.
