Learn Icelandic

[Stormerki]

i giggled when hoppípolla started playing. c: takk! this is really useful.

[TheNostophobiac]

Ég þarf hjalp að læra íslensku. Anyone?

[galletasymalteada]

the pronunciation is so hard, and my native language is spanish, so it is harder

[JapanNerd101]

@galletasymalteada I was born American from completely Hispanic parents and it isn't too hard, you just need to have the will to try. Tenes que tener el deseo para hacerlo, especialmente bien.

[Jofph]

Wow...lotsa these vids go to quick for me...I still have to get used to the pronunciation of the letters of the alphabet and the pronunciation of 'm in the place in Icelandic words (that obviously seem to be different?)...but still it's a beautiful language. Am not giving up. They say Dutch (where I'm from) is a difficult language to pronounce & write, well it indeed is as there seem to be more exceptions than rules, but Icelandic is a good # 2.

=Þ ... makes a nice smiley ;) and i,m danish my self... icelandic is abit like danish but i really love the icelandic language... xÞ

[42LightYears]

Hahah yeh you're right, =Þ  is a great smiley!!

[keepup32323]

hey what is the name of this letter Þ?

and that other one which looks like a reversed 6 with a cross on the upper extremity?

[helenGOF]

thorn, I think and the ð is called Eth :)

[Krakkhaus]

Ð - ð is like "TH" or well it sound the same if you say "The" and "Ðe"

[4Amya4]

What a beautiful language!

I like these special letters like ð and þ.

The language seems to be a bit difficult for me, because many letters are pronounced diffrently than in German and Swiss, but I like icelandic very much =)

[idapeppp]

There should be a break between the long sentences. And maby some repeating.

Ohter that that, it's nice.

[Luisofbrazil]

how does it spell that strange letter in

Pleased to meet you
