I will teach you the Runic Alphabet first... ^_^ my very first Lesson...
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show** The runic alphabets are a set of related alphabets using letters known as runes to write various Germanic languages prior to the adoption of the Latin alphabet and for specialized purposes thereafter. The Scandinavian variants are also known as futhark (or fuþark, derived from their first six letters of the alphabet: F, U, Þ, A, R, and K); the Anglo-Saxon variant as futhorc (due to sound changes undergone in Old English by the same six letters).
The earliest runic inscriptions date from around 150 AD, and the alphabet was generally replaced by the Latin alphabet with Christianization by around 700 AD in central Europe and by around 1100 AD in Scandinavia; however, the use of runes persisted for specialized purposes in Scandinavia, longest in rural Sweden until the early twentieth century (used mainly for decoration as runes in Dalarna and on Runic calendars).
The three best-known runic alphabets are the Elder Futhark (around 150 to 800 AD), the Anglo-Saxon runes (400 to 1100 AD), and the Younger Futhark (800–1100). The Younger Futhark is further divided into the long-branch runes (also called Danish, although they were also used in Norway and Sweden), short-twig or Rök runes (also called Swedish-Norwegian, although they were also used in Denmark), and the Hälsinge runes (staveless runes). The Younger Futhark developed further into the Marcomannic runes, the Medieval runes (1100 AD to 1500 AD), and the Dalecarlian runes (around 1500 to 1800 AD).
The origins of the runic alphabet are uncertain. Many characters of the Elder Futhark bear a close resemblance to characters from the Latin alphabet. Other candidates are the 5th to 1st century BC Northern Italic alphabets: Lepontic, Rhaetic and Venetic, all of which are closely related to each other and descend from the Old Italic alphabet.
Is this allowed??

^_^ thats okay L6CL ^_^ ahm this will be our second lesson ok?? ^_^ after that we will have a quiz... ^_^
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show** The futhorc are an extended alphabet, consisting of 29, and later even 33 characters. It was used probably from the 5th century onward. There are competing theories as to the origins of the Anglo-Saxon Fuþorc. One theory proposes that it was developed in Frisia and later spread to England. Another holds that runes were introduced by Scandinavians to England where the fuþorc was modified and exported to Frisia. Both theories have their inherent weaknesses and a definitive answer likely awaits more archaeological evidence. Futhorc inscriptions are found e.g. on the Thames scramasax, in the Vienna Codex, in Cotton Otho B.x (Anglo-Saxon rune poem) and on the Ruthwell Cross.
The Anglo-Saxon rune poem gives the following characters and names: ᚠ feoh, ᚢ ur, ᚦ thorn, ᚩ os, ᚱ rad, ᚳ cen, ᚷ gyfu, ᚹ wynn, ᚻ haegl, ᚾ nyd, ᛁ is, ᛄ ger, ᛇ eoh, ᛈ peordh, ᛉ eolh, ᛋ sigel, ᛏ tir, ᛒ beorc, ᛖ eh, ᛗ mann, ᛚ lagu, ᛝ ing, ᛟ ethel, ᛞ daeg, ᚪ ac, ᚫ aesc, ᚣ yr, ᛡ ior, ᛠ ear.
The expanded alphabet features the additional letters ᛢ cweorth, ᛣ calc, ᛤ cealc and ᛥ stan- these additional letters have only been found in manuscripts. Feoh, þorn, and sigel stood for [f], [þ], and [s] in most environments, but voiced to [v], [ð], and [z] between vowels or voiced consonants. Gyfu and wynn stood for the letters yogh and wynn, which became [g] and [w] in Middle English. ** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**

F *fehu "Money, wealth, cattle"
u U *ūruz "Aurochs" (or ûram "water/slag"?) "strength, power"
th,þ TH (Þ) ?*þurisaz "Giant, monster"
a A *ansuz "Æsir"
r R *raidō "Ride, journey"
k K Unknown, possibly *kaunan? Old English cen "ulcer", Old Norse kaun "torch"
g G *gebō "Gift"
w W *wunjō "Joy"
h H *hagalaz "Hail (precipitation)"
n N *naudiz "Need"
i I *īsa- "Ice"
j J/Y *jēra- "Year, fruitful time of the year"
ï,ei EI *ī(h)waz/*Eihwaz "Yew-tree"
p P ?*perþ- Meaning unclear.
R Z, later R. ?*algiz Unclear, possibly "elk".
s S *sōwilō "Sun"
t T *tīwaz/*teiwaz "The god Tiw (Later Tyr)"
b B *berkanan "Birch twig"
e E *ehwaz "Horse"
m M *mannaz "Man"
l L *laguz "Water" (or possibly *laukaz meaning "leek")
ŋ NG *ingwaz "The god Ing"
o O *ōþila-/*ōþala- "Hereditary land, possession"
d D *dagaz "Day"
