A challenge for our Scandinavian friends!

Post by ezcheese » Fri Feb 04, 2011 5:52 am

OK, someone please make a recording (or video if it's Silje :love: ) as to how to properly pronounce Ægir. I want to hear it straight from the Viking's lips.

:popcorn:

It is pronounced differently in the language of Iceland though :shifty:

Check out google translate and write ægir from iceland to iceland and press the speaker button :thumbsup:
