THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN
Vol. 57 #4
Icelandic text.
Am I now a fluent speaker of
Icelandic? No, and I’m certain that I never
will be—but I don’t let that discourage me.
I’ve discovered that learning even a small
amount of this language can be extremely
rewarding for anyone wishing to forge a
deeper connection with Iceland’s people,
culture, and history. For many of us, learn-
ing some Icelandic is all we’ll ever do.
Others may have the linguistic skill and
dedication to achieve true mastery. But
whatever your reasons for undertaking
Icelandic—and especially if you are
attempting a self-study program - you will
find no better introduction to this beautiful
and inspiring language than Learning
Icelandic. The only thing I found lacking
was enough exercises for reinforcing the
grammar lessons. Happily, I’ve learned
that a follow-up volume has recently been
released, Learning Icelandic - Grammar
Exercises, to provide additional practice
with that pesky grammar.
