Learners will learn the basics of linguistics, language history dating to pre-Viking times, and why many words in Nordic languages and English share the same origin. I will use a variety of instructional materials- slides, external sites, and discussions among participants to engage learners. Session 1: Linguistics and the language tree of Germanic languages Session 2: Old Norse and the Vikings Session 3: Norwegian's second Language or "sidemål"- nynorsk Session 4: How Danish and Swedish and written differently than Norwegian Session 5: Nordic Language history from the Middle Ages-early 1800's Session 6: Nordic Language history from 1830's-today and newer words/terms acquired. No previous knowledge of any of the Nordic languages or linguistics is required.
Learning Goals
Students will acquire an introduction to language history of the Nordic languages that may be a springboard for future study of Nordic languages or study abroad in the Nordic countries. Students who have an interest in why we have so many commonalities in Germanic languages will enjoy this class.Other Details
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

I studied Nordic languages and literature at the Artic University in Tromsø, Norway. I have had a great interest in languages and linguistics ever since I was in middle school. I have taught on Outschool since May 2020, both Norwegian, French, German, and several writing and life skills classes. I have taught and led in K-12 schools since 2000. Reviews
