Bad man, no word is pronounced correctly, but good try :P

Can people who speak Faroese understand Old Norse?

[TheFaroeseGamer]

It sounds like Norwegian NOT Faroese!

"Faroese: A Language Course for Beginners." When I first looked it up on Amazon about a year ago, there were two books accompanied by CD's: One for complete beginners, and another for those who'd already attained the basics. Unfortunately, it seems that Lockwood's work is once again the only one for those wishing to to study this language. Could anybody find a site where this work is NOT listed as "currently unavailable"?

He clearly mentions that faroese is very unphonetic and that he wouldn't even come as close as the actual pronunciation.

[yurismir1]

@beini321 That wasn't my question.
