There is even a Polish one with English as fall-back for entries without Polish translation.

Since you asked for corrections, here you go. It is actually very well written, so the
corrections look worse than they are. I have also written some notes, I probably won't
have much time to do that normally, but I have a quiet morning today .-)

Thanks a lot, Cristina! I was happy both with what I learned from the corrections and
with the fact I could actually write a meaningful paragraph without a dictionary. Now I
feel encouraged to write more in Norwegian.
BTW: Does what I wrote in my log count for the challenge?! I wrote a sort of a grammar
explanation in Norwegian at which I mentioned some language names, and therefore I used
a lot of non-capitals ;D . At this respect, Norwegian is similar to Spanish/Portuguese
and different from French and English.

SECOND VIKING CHALLENGE
Write 3 sentences where you try to use as many of the words which in English are spelled with capital letters, and in Norwegian (and as far as I know also Swedish and Danish) are spelled with regular letters as possible. |

Just a quick question - do we do challenges in our logs or here?

Another quick question...
As I didn't get that much feedback about the Vikings' website, I wonder if the team likes
it and if you guys want to use it for the challenge. Our team consists of 15 persons
minimum, but just a few gave their opinion, and even less send me a PM to get their
access. If the team does not want to use the website, and if it's superfluous, I will
delete it.

I'm not in the team but I wouldn't delete it! It's a good idea and people should start
using it, maybe there are still a couple people who haven't logged in yet and haven't
seen it yet. Hope it's not too much of a bother for people. I've looked at the website
and it looks quite good and could come out very handy, it's a good way to be in contact
with eachother, and an easy way to follow each others progress.

Well you know what I think of the idea from the fact that we copied it shamelessly just a few hours after you
had put up yours :-). I am not technically part of the team either, but I think it is a brilliant idea, and am
already thinking of the multiple uses we can have for it. And I will start putting things on your website as
soon as I have mastered the technical side.

Cristina, I actually knew at least you were going to like the idea, before even
configuring the website ;-) And you're one of those 3 persons who sent me their contact!
Thanks.
I don't mind to wait a little bit, to see if and how this works. If the technical aspect
is a problem, I could create a PDF with a few screenshots and comments, to show how easy
(because intuitive) it actually is to deal with the frame. Let me know.
PS: Actually it isn't just my website, it's ours... to plan, organise and execute
annihilation ;-)
