You have a perfectly valid point. Clearly we were looking at the question from two opposing sides: I was trying to make it easy for the average forum member to see us as the Scandinavian team. You, on the other hand, were hoping to induce them to open their eyes to the beauty of Nordic culture. You’re evidently more optimistic than I am about our capacity to wake people’s interest on the subject.
As I said, I’m perfectly happy with any of the names suggested so far. Edited by Emme on 03 January 2015 at 3:30pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Sleipnir is a central figure in Nordic mythology - it's the horse Odin rides on. Anyone
who is even slightly interested in Nordic mythology will understand that reference. Edited by tarvos on 03 January 2015 at 5:05pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Here are a few Danish resources that I did not see in the above list. If they don't suit your criteria for inclusion in the main list, just ignore them - no big deal :)
Courses: Duolingo Speak Danish (fee) Skapago (fee) These publishers offer educational material, but some of the offerings are better for self-teaching than others. Admittedly, shipping outside of Denmark is quite expensive. Alfabeta Synope Native Media: Sproget.dk: Language rules and more Grammatik for dummies: Grammar Videos Vejr: DMI: weather Studieportalen Grammar and much more Ebook / Audiobook sellers: Arnold Busck SAXO Pottermore (Harry Potter) Film Sales Laserdisken Edited by Jaynie on 03 January 2015 at 5:21pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I am fine with either of the proposed names, even though I lean more towards "making people
curious" about the Scandinavian culture. But maybe I am biased. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I will wait for a few hours for the name issue to be settled, I assuming we're pending more towards Sleipnir, may I assume so? Meanwhile, our
January Challenge Tell us why you are studying your Scandinavian language(s) and how do you plan to make progress in 2015. Veterans can add up what was the most interesting book/text/film/TV show you read last year in your studied Scandinavian language. Beginners feel free to write in English. Veterans, please add English translation to the texts you write for the challenge, so that others can follow.

A heads-up for the learners of Norwegian here:
Kampen om tungvannet starts today. Here is the trailer: http://tv.nrk.no/serie/kampen-om-tungtvannet/KMTE40003813 Looks interesting. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have a more than slight interest but I didn't know that :/ one more thing is that it's a relatively long name... 1 person has voted this message useful |
