How to pronounce the names of Thor's goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr #shorts

Old Norse is not an easy language to pronounce, and that's why I'm here to show you how it's done. Watched the Thor: Love and Thunder trailer and curious about the goats who draw Thor's chariot? This vid is for you.

Thor's goats are an integral part of his story, especially in the Prose Edda, where they infamously appear in the tale of Thor's journey to Jotunheim, when Thjalfi imprudently ignores Thor's warnings about their consumption. Snorri Sturluson really brought them to life, as did the author of Þrymskviða, in the Poetic Edda. 

Norse mythology is a passion of mine, and I hope I can help to continue to bring it to life.
