Hi,
I was thinking about creating a topic and see if you would like to learn a little Icelandic tounge, since I'm from Iceland and I live there I can teach you a few words and sentence, I speak Icelandic but I have to write english here for you to understand me.

I'm just gonna' check how many want to learn and I'll teach you something, you can also come with words from english or sentence and I can translate them to Icelandic and teach you

Now who wants to learn a new language?

No one wants to learn anything on a Friday. But thanks anyway.

thanks, but my last experience with an Icelander came up a little short. They may claim to have the prettiest women on Earth, but those women hae no sense of humour whatsoever.

You can't blame someone else for your shortcomings.

I'll be here tomorrow morning, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to take on a new language.
For my first trick I'd like to be able to order a beer in Icelandic.
We will proceed from there. (Shrimp, chicken wings, round of shots, etc.)

She must have been related to our foreign exchange student. I do believe our Icelandic exchange student earned the nickname 'satan' without even trying.
Thanks for your offer stoverus!

Absolutely nothing!!! (Coworker sits at the end of the row- I probably pass him 5X a day. I walked by him in lower shoes while he was standing- he just looked at me and said "I've never seen you when I'm standing, you're a lot shorter than I thought you were!")
