What do Scandinavians think about Balkan people? It is a very common practice here to come to your countries (mostly Sweden) and work and it was a very popular practice during the 90s. I even have people in my family and friends that were doing that because of economic crisis in post war ex Yugoslavia. What do Scandinavians think about us coming in your country?

Hello, Does someone know how to translate "mimisbrunnr"? it's where odin drinks to get the wisdom. I have to make a tatto with this word, i only found 1 traslation from chat gpt.

Need to know what this says please help translate!

I'll be visiting Germany this winter and be traveling across different regions in the country. So I've been taking extensive lessons in German for 2-3 hours a day and also been watching lot of German movies and as muh native TV shows I can find online along with listening to German songs such as those of Herbert Grönemeyer.

That said after this trip, I'll be exploring the world and Europe will be a hotspot destination for me. Which makes it obvious in addition to Austria and Switzerland on my bucketlist (maybe even Czechslovakia), I'll visit Scandinavia and places where Dutch and other direct related languages of Belgium and Netherlands are spoken.

So I ask how much will knowing German help with other Germanic languages? In particular Icelandic (which I'm interested in because its seen as the langauge that survived intact the most of the medieval Viking languages and of the general ancient Germanic family)? Skipping Icelandic with the cliche that its the best language to start with for learning old extinct members of the family, would modern formal German as used in TV stations and universities across Germany directly help with Norse and whatever other Viking, Pennsylvania Dutch, Cherusci, Chatti, Schwäbisch during Martin Luther's time, and other pre-modern dead Germanic languages and dialects?

I believe it's a Nordic or Scandinavian compass
