I went to Iceland in October 2023 with a friend. I booked the Food Walk for our first day. Jenny was our amazing guide and helped familiarize us with the area, as well as introduce us to some absolutely fantastic food and culture. 10/10 as amazing as all of the reviews claim!

Great stuff. Yes please for part two. I think that Hálfviti is like "halfwit" in English. Another very useful phrase is: Svifnökkvinn minn er fullur af álum. Takk fyrir!

I was in Reykjavik in April. It was a childhood dream to visit the country. Every day I think about going back and maybe living in that place for months 😄

There are limited resources for Icelandic but this video taught me more about pronunciation than anything else so far! I'm currently doing the free course through the university in preparation for my trip. Já to part 2 and takk kærlega Dan!

I've been living in Reykjavík for 4 months and done the Íslenska A1, this is more than what i know... pretty complex stuff for turist

In my travels, I've learned probably the most important phrase to learn is "where is the toilet". I still remember that in some languages, but I'd have to refresh myself if we go back to Japan or Thailand.

If you go back a thousand years, Old English [also known as Old Anglo-Saxon] had þorn (Þ, þ) and ðæt (Ð, ð). In theory they were supposed to be different sounds, the first being unvoiced (as in the modern English "think") and the second being voiced (as in the modern English "mother"). However, this distinction doesn't seem to have been consistent, and was different in regional dialects. Most English-speakers today are unaware of the two different sounds, though they make the distinction without being aware of it. If you mixed them up in ordinary speech, you would sound peculiar. It sounds, from this video, that there is no difference between the two in modern Icelandic.

Hey, this American calls people shit heels all the time. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it was first attested in American English in 1898. They don't indicate any connection to the Icelandic word.
