Eyjafjallajökull - You're doing it wrong!

This is an educational video to all the newsreporters in the world that are trying to report from the eruption in Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland ;)

The only thing from Iceland you need to know how to pronounce correctly is "Jonsi"

[Raspnaitr]

This is just too good. TOO GOOD, I TELL YA!

[Vicious Oval]

The pronunciation is just difficult because all of the stress is on the first syllable, so it's more like EY-afyadlayookudl than ey-ya-fyad-la-yoo-kudl.

That being said, I would totally watch a show that was just English-speakers trying to pronounce Icelandic words.
