En kort oversigt over Hans Egedes første grønlandske tekster og hans første forsøg på at oversætte en længere tekst fra Bibelen, nemlig 1 Mosebog kap. 1-11. Der gives nogle eksempler på oversættelsesproblemerne og på, hvordan Hans Egede har påvirket det grønlandske sprog.

Letters from Greenland was part of a series of 'letters' or updates about the COVID-19 situation in the Nordic countries in 2020. Fellow authors were Andrew Newby (Finland), Peter de Souza (Sweden – works in Norway), Henrik Halkier (Denmark), Rebecca Stirzaker (Norway), Elisabeth Holm (Faroe Islands) and Ingibjorg Agustsdottir (Iceland). During the 'corona year' 2020 the updates were collected and shared regularly via the Facebook group Nordic Horizons. Nordic Horizons is an informal group of Scottish professionals who want to raise the standard of knowledge and debate about life and policy in the Nordic nations. The group facebook page has 2.900 followers and acts as a repository for information, presentations, digital media of the meetings of the group and posts of members.
