Because Icelandic is spoken by a whopping 380,000 people (roughly), there are not a ton of resources dedicated to learning the language, especially when you compare it to more widely spoken languages like Spanish, English, French and Mandarin. However, if you want to learn the language, don’t let the lack of abundant materials deter you.
Tag: Learning the Icelandic language
I have spoken about my love for Memrise on here before, so it is no surprise that I am super excited about Memrise’s recent announcement to roll out an official Icelandic course on their language learning platform.
It is officially fall and about two weeks ago I hit the three-month mark since I made my big move to Iceland. Living here and learning the Icelandic language has been an exhilarating and exhausting experience. I knew that I would need to give myself time to adjust to my new environment, job, and culture but I underestimated how much time I need, particularly when it comes to learning Icelandic. I don’t know how long it will take until I feel “settled in” but my language learning journey has been quite a whirlwind so far.
