Hi, do you think it is right, if I translate my description to videos using just online Translate ? I have the notice that it is translated using online Translator.

Thankyou so much, I love your videos and it’s such a beautiful language to listen to but soooooo tongue twisty!! Keep on keeping on xx

one of the most demanding languages

PhinkerPie it must be an absolute no brainer for an Icelander to learn English!

but it is interesting because these are both anglosaxon (germanic) languages so they should be similar

Or Ái

Hell É

Me in every language: 🖕🏽

Nah you're just a cat

In my country we scream A (aah)

Not exactly. Its known that icelandic language has lot of unique terms and words. That causes trouble when learning, you have practically nothing to rely on whe learning.

That's not the "only" reason. Icelandic has literally some of the hardest grammar rules out of all languages. I'm talking from experience.

Resources are pretty shite for Norwegian too. Know this from experience. At those levels, it's about the same resource wise, but yeah Icelandic is certainly tough. IMO Polish is still one of the most rekt languages to try to learn. Coming from someone who speaks intermediate Russian.. Polish is still just wtf to me.

@@painxxxl look on that matter this can only be a problem for poorer languages..if let's say you take greek (1.000.000 words) to Icelandic (650.000 words) you can see that this isn't a problem at all for a greek speeker...yed they have many words for let's say the wind or the snow but as a greek learning Icelandic I have to agree that the resource pool and especially the books, oh my god the books, are shit....

I'd say Icelandic is easier than Finnish, chinese, arabic, turkish, or hebrew. :)

Hi

@@itsloveleen2654 i know, it was a joke

Yeah, because it's an island in the middle of ocean that didn't use to have a real ability to be influenced by other languages.

Same with faroe islands

The closest to what real Vikings spoke

They would be able to understand writen old norse very well, but they would have almost as much trouble understanding spoken old norse as a norwegian person would (atleast using deconstructed old norse). The pronounciation between old norse and modern icelandic has changed quite a bit. But yeah, if you wanted to learn old norse you would probably be best of learning icelandic and then afterwards learn the old icelandic pronouncation.

Most words are similar in Icelandic and Old Norse, but there are also many thousands of newer words in Icelandic that do not exist in Old Norse, plus there are also many words in Old Norse that aren’t used in Icelandic or that are used with a different meaning, plus the pronunciation is a bit different! I am actually learning both Old Norse and Icelandic and am close to intermediate level in both, and also, Norwegian (close to advanced level) and Dutch (advanced level) and Faroese and Danish and Gothic (beginner level in these three) and Swedish and German (Intermediate level) etc, and they are all super fun to learn, with gorgeous words that are easy to learn and remember, and I highly recommend learning all / some / any of these languages, as they are as gorgeous / refined / poetic as English, so they are too pretty not to know, and all other Germanic languages are also gorgeous! Hopefully more and more ppl start teaching Icelandic and Old Norse and Faroese etc on yt in the near future, and hopefully many ppl find out about these gorgeous languages and start learning them, and I highly suggest that ppl that make yt videos make a lot of videos teaching Icelandic etc and covering all verbs and prepositions / adverbs / conjunctions etc and rare words / poetic words and idioms etc, as there aren’t enough resources and videos on yt, and making lots of HD videos like this definitely helps reach more ppl, I actually couldn’t even believe that there aren’t many videos teaching Icelandic, considering how pretty this language is, there should definitely be a lot more videos, for example, other pretty languages such as Dutch and German that are a lot more known have many yts that make HD videos teaching them, so it’s very easy to learn Dutch and German super fast because there so many videos and so many vocab videos and many videos with Dutch and German subs etc, so it would be a lot easier to learn Icelandic if there were lots of HD videos teaching and covering all the words and all details on grammar etc, so I feel like jumping for joy every time I find a new video teaching Icelandic, knowing how hard they are to find!

Yeah, more like "aj" than "ae".

Yes æ is pronounced like the Swedish ä

Reine H not really. The icelandic æ isn’t really like danish and norweegian æ that is like swedish ä...

It's like Spanish "ai"

Æ

@@matthewlawton9241 english doesn't distinguish between thorn and eth. the closest I can find (in my accent at least) is that thorn is the "th" sound from "With," whereas eth is the "th" sound from "That."

@@littlesnowflakepunk855 I can clearly tell the sounds apart, I'm from Canada

@@flutterwind7686 i mean yeah i can distinguish between them, but it's not something we have to pay attention to in english, so speaking it is sometimes a bit weird

Geh nach dem Abi hin :) Ich hab das letzte halbe Jahr dort auf einer Farm gelebt und es war die beste Zeit, also just go :)

hey! Mir geht's genauso! Cool zu wissen das es noch andere Leute gibt, die Island so toll finden wie ich!

Buh dachte schon ich wär alleine mit meinem Tick auch wenn ich es irgendwie nicht gebacken bekomm die Sprache richtig zu lernen aber naja 😅

Ah ja, ich kann aus eigener Erfahrung sagen, dass es echt schwierig ist eine Sprache zu lernen, wenn man keinen Lehrer hat, vor allem eine so seltene Sprache wie Isländisch. Ich empfehle dir "Reise Know-How"s Kauderwelsch Reihe, die haben auch einen Sprachenführer für Isländisch und ich komme sehr gut damit klar!

Wenn ich erwachsen bin möchte ich nach Island ziehen😂

Obviously, she haven’t tried Greenlandic...

@@julianneheindorf5757 it's one of the hardest not the hardest

Icelandic is in fact easy. Hard could be Hungarian or polish

@@juanmarcos1145 dude no one cares, Icelandic stills being one of the hardest this is not a competition. Russian, Arabic way harder than those languages that no one needs to learn but no one says that

@@vaniavieira6012 well, I commented because people in this comments section begun to talk recursively about the difficulty of Icelandic. Then it is not something that nobody cares. It is in fact the contrary : something everyone seems to be curious about. Being so, I just gave my objective opinion. It is easy. I never understood why people is obsessed with saying that their language is difficult, I guess it's a feeling that an easy language is for morons or something like that. But that is not the case!!!!! Language difficulty has nothing to do with their speakers intelligence, at all!!!

im worried now that i know being fluent from scratch would be legendary

Hello

@Coalescence what

@Coalescence shut your mouth

Si verdad? No creo que haya alguna dificultad pronunciando la "L" cierto? Suena como un "Aëtl" no lo sé jajaja

@@davidavilag.6931ninguna dificultad con la L islandesa, tenemos palabras como atlas, chipotle o náhuatl con el mismo sonido

Literally me. 😂🤣😂 Damn it, you figured me out.

exactly why i’m here right now

So accurate lol

Dang busted

lol the movie made me curious about the language xD

Lauren Gelvez And Latins :))

And slavic people :P

and austrians

And reptilians!

Lauren Gelvez It’s the best part about being Hispanic 🤠💘!

Keep learning! Find like minded people and learn together. Good luck :-)

Find people who knew her, and ask for lessons.

Manuel Favid yes, old Norwegian sounds like icelandic

Basically Icelandic and Faroese are closer to the way vikings talked, while Norwegian, Swedish and Danish have sort of "evolved".

I'm Norwegian. Scandinavia have all lost their original language to a modern mix of German. Very few traces of Norse language left. But there is a slight mix with Old East Norse, as they spoke in Sweden and Denmark. This is just a slight mix tho, so naturally Old East Norse is extinct. In Norway in the Middle Ages, we spoke Old West Norse, and it is our language that is perserved in Iceland and the Faroe Islands. It makes me glad to see that ppl are interested in learning modern Icelandic, which hasn't changed too much since Old West Norse language :) The vast majority of ppl who settled in Iceland were from Norway. Who would have thought, that our language would only be perserved there and not in Norway proper? History is funny sometimes.

GangeHrolfr jeg er også fra Norge jehuuuu

@@GangeHrolfr Well some dialects in Norway have alot of words and sayings that are very similar, however not to Much. I can understand some icelandic(spoken that is) with the help of ny dialect

Defcon i mean in this context but dankie

@@gpj6321 a bit late to the party, but; Tusen takk for denne opplæringen. Vær så snill, flere videoer av dette. Hilsener fra Norge. It's amazing, how Afrikaans and German are different subgroups of the Germanic languages than Norwegian is, but their grammar is incredibly similar still. Then there's English, which barely has any Germanic features left.

You can set the video speed lower in the settings of the video

German is so difficult language that even German themselves don't understand 🤣🤣🤣🤣

it's funny how only the native German speakers are so convinced that their language is so complex

This has to be the most modest comment I've come across on KZfaq, lol..

We don't liar lol

I love the culture of Greece and I also want to travel Greece.

Well okay bu why do you mention it here?

Σταυρος Ιωαννης Μπλατσιωτης I'm Greek and Iceland hellena

I've been to Crete Rhodes and Corfu

Jonathan Galván i was thinking the same thing regarding the TL sound. Xóchitl- it’s a common word in Mexico, and it has that very ending.

Jonathan Galván I think she was talking about the Castillian Spanish, the one form Spain cause they don’t have the Nahuatl dialect since it comes form native Mexicans

@@riccardolongo8479de todos modos muchas palabras del Nahuatl han pasado al español, y además tenemos otras con TL como atlas, atlántico, pentatlón, atlético, triatlón, atlante, etc

You should try with Hungarian and Finnish, those are very hard too.

@Ivan funny how you said German, Norwegian, Swedish and "Dansk". Are you Danish?

Hoppas du lär dig isländska utantill :) Lycka till!

@@ClaudiaYousef Det hoppas jag med. Tack! ☺

Lakhja vad kul! Min pappa är från island och han lärde aldrig mig så jag måste lära mig själv:( men det går hyfsat bra

A random comment, but it amuses me how freaking different Finnish is from all the other Nordic languages 😂 it’s like from an entirely different universe! Anyway, this video was the first time I heard Icelandic and I could definitely hear some distant similarities with Swedish. In Finland, it is compulsory for us to study Swedish as it is our other official language :)

@@heavyloadmachine The baltic languages are on their own

Yes, I'm swedish too and when she speaks really slowly I understand most of the words. But if she speaks at normal speed it's almost impossible.

Úlff MetalBagpiper99 yea it reminded me of Nahuatl too

And in Spanish there are words like atlas, pentatlón, atlántico, atlético... all of them with TL pronunciation

Is Icelandic really that understandable when coming from Swedish? jag har fått lära mig svenska i två månad (I think that's right 😋) och jag älskar Icelandic (icelandska?). Icelandic sounds so beautiful to me.

*ðen

The trilled R is the way the R is pronounced in most languages. It’s the English R that’s extremely rare.

@@WarriorofSunlight Yeah, it kinda slipped my mind when I typed that.

"P" in russian is the same than "R" in all the romance lenguages

Same as in Dutch, we really role the R too. In German om this is much less the case. With Russian I struggled most pronouncing the ‘И’. I never stressed it enough. So I was told anyway :)

@@chrishoggett1375 I heard that if you want to pronounce Russian "И" , you need to make a sound like someone punched you in the stomach 🤣

@@lilsquidd1815 Not French

@@chrishoggett1375 but "и" is just "i" from romanic languages

Si, tienes razón, no creo que la "L" tuviera alguna dificultad de pronunciación jajajaja y sí, cuando dijo como se pronunciaba se me vino a la mente el Náhuatl

De hecho tenemos muchas palabras en español con TL que suenan igual a la L islandesa. La mayoría vienen del Nahuatl

Hans Martin Hammer heh I’m also from the Faroe Islands and am half Faroese and Icelandic:)) It’s not often I see Faroese people here:D

Well, there are only about 70.000 of us in the world.

Faroese ! I have a friend from there. I absolutely love your country, language and culture. Will visit you sometime.

I spent a week in the Faroes, 3 years ago. It was a fantastic vacation. Taking the helicopter to Suduroy was fun and I found everyone to be very welcoming. I got to see the first Faroese flag and had some pilot whale. I hope to return to your country some day and visit all of the islands.
