For those of you following along with the Old Norse lessons, I posted lesson no. 27 (on consonant-stem nouns) publicly on Youtube today, and here's advance access to lesson no. 28 (on imperatives) for Patreon. Imperatives (i.e. command forms of verbs, the "get" in "Get to the chopper!") have been requested a little bit, so I hope this video covers the topic to your satisfaction.

For future Old Norse lessons past no. 28, I'm planning to try switching up the format a little bit, and focusing on doing a reading up front that I then walk learners through, dealing with new grammar as it comes up. We'll see how that works once I've gotten around to recording no. 29.

And of course, I'm planning to continue offering a monthly live "office hours" for Old Norse learners on Patreon. In July, I'm planning on doing that on Saturday, July 9th, at 10:00 a.m. U.S. Mountain time. The Zoom link for that will be https://cuboulder.zoom.us/j/94900940668 and the passcode will be: imperative

For now, thank you for your continued support and kindness, and all the best,

Jackson Crawford

P.S. My Patreon messages don't work. I don't get notifications for them, and there's nothing on my home page to show me when there is or isn't a message. I can't even always see them when I check for them manually, and you won't see it if I reply! The best ways to get in touch are: a) just to comment on posts like this, b) to post in the  Community page, or c) to email my assistant Stella at [admin AT JacksonWCrawford.com]--remember the 'W' between my first and last names in that domain name.

A few days ago, Dr. Crawford posts a picture of a rabbit near him. Now, his microphone is 'mysteriously chewed by an animal.' Coincidence? I think not.

Haha I'll hold the bunnies blameless, they lead fraught lives enough as it is.

As someone with several pet rabbits who live inside with us, I can say that around here, if something is chewed, it was probably the bunnies (or the dog, or the rats, or the chinchilla...)

Yes, I think anyone (like me) who has been traumatized by the Watership Down movie as a kid will agree that the bunnies deserve a break.

I'm still quite new to this and totally behind on the lessons but it was interesting to just listen along! Also, my zoom seems to be set to my SCA name and it wouldn't let me change it! 😆
