I would like to reiterate what I first saw on Dr. Chris Abram's Old Norse News blog:
There is a job opportunity at the University of Bergen in Norway. This position is looking for individuals to teach Old Norse Philology. See the job description here (in Norwegian).
This job opening serves to me personally as a reminder to continue practicing my Norwegian. Through my mother I can claim Norwegian heritage, which I have always been rather exuberant about, considering my deep fascination with Medieval Scandinavia and long-term goals to pursue research in this area. I can read a bit of Norwegian and have basic conversational tactic under control, but I am doing myself a disservice to let my linguistic skill fall by the wayside. Both to my professional and personal affiliations with Norwegian culture generally.
Hmm, so perhaps I will fill the day with productive language study...
Betre byrdi du ber kje i bakken enn mannevit mykje.
