Halló, from Argentina, Your Spanish is actually good, Hrafna! Brilliant pronunciation. It's curious that Icelandic shares some sound features that resemble the Spanish from Spain. The accents in Latin America are diverse. The Argentinian, for example, is strongly influenced by the Italian accent. I'd also love to learn your ancient and fascinating language, the skaldic poetry. You have to read a poem written by one of our most famous writers, Jorge Luis Borges called "Islandia"* Your channel looks interesting too, I'm going to take a look... :) ¡Buena suerte! / Gangi þér vel! * Poem here Islandia Qué dicha para todos los hombres Islandia de los mares, que existas. Islandia de la nieve silenciosa y del agua ferviente. Islandia de la noche que se aboveda sobre la vigilia y el sueño. Isla del día blanco que regresa, joven y mortal, como Baldr. Fría rosa, isla secreta que fuiste la memoria de Germania y salvaste para nosotros su apagada, enterrada mitología: El anillo que engendra nueve anillos, los altos lobos de la selva de hierro que devorarán la luna y el sol. La nave que Algo o Alguien construye con uñas de los muertos. Islandia de los cráteres que esperan y de las tranquilas majadas. Islandia de las tardes inmóviles y de los hombres fuertes que son ahora marineros y banqueros y párrocos y que ayer descubrieron un continente. Isla de los caballos de larga crin que engendran sobre el pasto y la lava. Isla del agua llena de monedas y de no saciada esperanza. Islandia de la espada y de la runa, Islandia de la gran memoria cóncava que no es una nostalgia.

“Cría cuervos y te sacarán los ojos” is a popular saying that refers to the ingratitude of people. Basically, you’ve done so much for someone, and instead of showing gratitude, they behave badly towards you. It's often used to refer to children (whom you have raised) that turn against you at some point. Also, most of the times it’s your fault, because you were not good enough ‘raising’ (children, for example) and the resulting something or someone turns out to be bad. In this last case, a similar saying in english would be “you reap what you sow”. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 🤗

[@QuantumPandita]

“you reap what you sow” En español tenemos también igual el "tu cosechas lo que siembras", "cría cuervos y te sacaran los ojos" es mas especifico, es más como que si criaste personas con una mentalidad crítica, van a criticarte a ti también. Te sacaran los ojos a picotazos es referencia a criticarte hasta no poder más, al menos así lo entiendo yo.

[@jesusr.6588]

@@QuantumPandita no, "cría cuervos y te sacarán los ojos" tiene que ver con las personas desagradecidas, esas a las que les haces favores o ayudas y terminan haciéndote mal. "cosechas lo que siembras" sí tiene que ver con lo que dijiste, puede ser bueno o malo, no es que sea del inglés o español o algo, es de la biblia xd.

A few pronunciation tips: Between vowels, Spanish distinguishes between (tap/flap) and (trill). Ahorra ahora, para comprar un carro más caro. In many Germanic languages, including English and Icelandic, voiceless stops /ptk/ are aspirated. In Spanish they aren't. It's "hispano", not "hispaño". Some minimal pairs: una uña (one finger/toenail); sueno/sueño (sound/(sleep/dream)).

Remember Spanish just like any other language has different accents such as Spanish from Spain or Venezuela (the “TH”) sound very different then Spanish from Mexico. Just like English from England, USA California, USA Texas etc. Great job 👍🏼

I'm italian and understand the sentences even if i did not study Spanish. I love that.

"La musica e la spiritualità sono sacre" "Il treno corre rapido (o veloce)" and so on. In italian "ferrocarril" is "treno" (like train in english), but "ferrovia" means "railway" and "carro" means "car" or in general "vehicle", so "ferrocarril" it's fully intelligible.
