Why Learn Icelandic?

In this video I discuss why Icelandic is worth learning, even if you don't plan to live in Iceland!
This video can be good listening practice even though I don't speak perfectly. Try understanding without subtitles first! If that's too hard, try watching it with Icelandic subtitles. If that's still too hard, try it with English subtitles and try to pick out some words you recognize :)

[@workforancestors]

And theres another point. If you have an interest in nordic languages, its obviously worth it to learn any of them, especially icelandic since its the closest to old norse. You would have a better undestanding of norse pronounciations and phonetics. I started learning icelandic last week. Maybe i should say a long time ago since ive been gathering information about the language and pronounciation for a long time. Now im thoroughly learning all the pronounciation rules and then ill get onto grammar. After i finish learning icelandic, i will definitely start learning norwegian. I love your channel!

I started with Dutch & Norwegian & Swedish, and am now intermediate level in Norwegian / Swedish (about 3.500 words) and advanced level in Dutch (over 8.000 base words) and, just started learning Icelandic more seriously, so I am first learning the pronouns and prepositions and other smaller words like conjunctions / articles etc and the most used verbs and nouns, plus I’m also studying German and a bit of most other Germanic languages at the moment - I decided to learn the more difficult ones little by little, while prioritizing about 3 of the easier ones every few months, so I am also learning new words in Old Norse / Old English and Danish and Faroese etc regularly, though it’s not easy to find videos on some of them, such as Faroese and the 3 Frisian languages and Limburgish, and 4 of these don’t even have Google translations unfortunately, but I know Faroese is similar to Icelandic and Frisian languages are similar to German and to West-Flemish Dutch-based languages, so I figured I should start learning Icelandic and the other ones first!

[@yassoilcapo9952]

How did It gi

[@FrozenMermaid666]

It’s definitely going great for me, as I am upper intermediate level in both Icelandic and Norse at the moment, after learning them for a few months, and I am very close to an advanced level in Icelandic as I learned more than 5.000 words so far, and I am actually learning many languages at the same time! Plus I am advanced level in Norwegian and upper advanced level in Dutch, and I am also upper intermediate level in German and mid intermediate level in Swedish / Portuguese / French / Italian and intermediate level in Welsh and upper beginner level or beginner level in the other target languages! I highly recommend learning all the words from all the videos teaching them and from all the vocab videos (Go Learn etc) and from G translate and also memorizing and analyzing many song lyrics and watching every video with Icelandic sub, as focusing on vocab is key to fast progress! Icelandic is so heavenly! I highly recommend learning Icelandic / Norse / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese / Welsh which are seven of the prettiest languages ever, as they are as gorgeous / refined / poetic as English and way too pretty not to know!

[@nataliehowe6213]

Thank you so much! I really needed this today. I have had multiple people ask me somewhat patronizingly why I am learning Icelandic. I always answer that I don't know, I just love to learn languages and it interests me. It is so true that the wand chooses the wizard, and that's the reason I will give from now on. :) Plus, it's a life goal to be a 5 language fluent polyglot. I love Iceland, its culture, its history and I can't wait to go back this fall.

[@icelandicforforeigners]

When I was 18 and I told my mother I was taking an Icelandic class at university, she was not impressed. People who don't learn languages, or who learn languages only by necessity, will never understand the joy and satisfaction that avid language-learners derive from the process. Best of luck to you!

[@borsjtsj]

From my experience with Swedish as my major in the college, learning Icelandic is such a wonderful journey. It was a bit tricky for me to lear Fornsvenskan (old Swedish), but instead from learning Icelandic I've found various clues that reveals the word origin. Very interesting experience day to day. And of course, the Icelandic has also such a beautiful intonation and I'm used to listen to the Bible in Icelandic with an app. Big thank you to you for providing very useful contents always.

[@justaname1837]

Same here. I'm interested in the Icelandic Sagas. I think you need a good reason to learn a language. If you don't have any reason/motivation to continue learning a language, you'll give up very quick.

thanks a lot for the new video! I'm wondering, in what way did learning Icelandic help you in your linguistics career? I'm a senior linguistics students and I taught myself Norwegian and I'm currently learning Icelandic. I want to pursue a career about Nordic languages and I constantly think about what I can do with what I have had in my hand so far. By the way, I love your channel and you, coming from a linguistics background, are hands down the best person out here that explains Icelandic so well. We get each other. :) Also, I don't know if there is something you have to go through in your life, but please keep up with these excellent videos. Bless bless.

[@icelandicforforeigners]

Thanks for the nice comment. After my degree in linguistics I got a law degree and that is the field I am working in now. But I imagine there are many career options for linguists with a background in Nordic languages, such as teaching Icelandic and Old Norse literature, developing translation and language AI systems like Siri, or translation and localization. Even if you don't end up working in linguistics, I'm a firm believer that a degree in linguistics is useful in just about any field because it teaches analytical thinking. Though I don't work in linguistics, I benefit every day from my linguistics education. Best of luck to you!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

I am also teaching the Norse languages myself, as I understand how the grammar works very well, so I can explain the Norse grammar in detail, and I also know all the sounds and the pronunciation rules very well, so if one has any questions, one should definitely ask me in a comment!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Here are some of the most important sounds + pronunciation rules in Icelandic, as Icelandic has one of the easiest / prettiest / coolest pronunciations ever, having a category 1 pronunciation with super cool modern sounds! - the eth letter ð is an approximant of the letter D (a less obvious D similar to the D in the Spanish word nada and like the TH in the English words this and that) and the thorn letter þ is an approximant of T (a less obvious T that’s sort of lisped, and it is the same sound as the TH in the English words think and thing, though it sounds closer to a normal T sound in Icelandic) More pronunciation rules and sounds in Icelandic... - the HV is pronounced KV - the NN is pronounced as a TN if it comes after Æ and after EI / EY and after a long vowel such as Á / É / Í / Ó / Ú (but it is a normal N sound if it comes after the short vowels A / E / I / O / U and in inn word combinations, and I recommend adding a very soft breathy H sound to the ‘inn’ word ending in masculine words to make it a bit different from the word ending ‘in’ which is the feminine word ending, like I do, as I pronounce the inn more like ihn in masculine nouns and masculine adjectives that have the inn word ending, which represents the definite article in nouns, tho there are also three articles that aren’t added to the noun, namely hinn and hin and hið, so, one can say hinn stormur or stormurinn and hinn storm or storminn as both mean the storm in nominative and accusative) - the LL is usually pronounced TL in most words and if the LL is at the end of the word it sounds more like a weak T sound - the RN is pronounced with an extra soft ‘nasal’ T sound between the R and the N (so a word like þarna sounds like thartna) - the FL / FN letter combinations are pronounced PL / PN (so F becomes a P sound if it’s before an L or an N) - the G is ultra soft in short words like ég and mig etc, so it is pronounced more like an H sound (so ég sounds like yeh) and the G in the middle of the words is kinda soft (in words like segja / saga / segir etc it is a soft G that is still a G sound and not an H) and the Gs and GGs can also sound like Ks in many of the words if they are at the end of the word or even in the middle of the word and sometimes even at the beginning of the word (same as in Old Norse) tho Gs are usually pronounced like a normal G sound if they are at the beginning of the word (except for a few words) - the KK / TT etc is pronounced more like HK / HT as a soft breathy H sound is included before the K / T sound when there is a double consonant and even when there are two different consonants (for example, ekki sounds like ehki and óútreiknanlegt sounds like outreihnanleht etc) - the letter F is usually pronounced like a V if it’s in the middle of the word or at the end of the word (so leyfa sounds like leyva) and it is pronounced like a normal F sound if it’s at the beginning of the word or very close to the beginning of the word (for example, if a words starts with af, the af is pronounced af, not av) The diphthongs and umlauts and vowels in Icelandic... - AU is pronounced EOI (normal e sound + normal o sound + normal i sound said 2gether fast in one sound) - EI / EY are pronounced EI / EY (same as they are spellt) - the Æ / æ is usually pronounced ai in most Icelandic words (but hvenær seems to be pronounced kvenar and not really kvenair, so it depends on the word) - Ö is an EO sound (normal e sound + normal o sound said 2gether in one sound, like the œ in the French word cœur) - Ó is usually pronounced OU - O is usually pronounced UO and sometimes as a normal O sound aka oh (depending on the word) - Ú is a normal u sound (uh) - U is a more rounded YU sound (like the u in the French word mur and it is also the same sound as the Ü in Hungarian and German and the same sound as the UU in Dutch in words like muur and duur) tho in some words it is pronounced like a normal U sound (especially at the beginning of the word in words like ungur, and when there are multiple Us in the same word it’s usually the last U that is pronounced like YU and most other Us are pronounced like a normal U sound in that kind of words) - Á is an AU sound in almost every word (there are only a few exceptions) - A is a normal a sound (ah) and the A before NG / NK is pronounced like an AU sound just like the Á (so að ganga sounds like ath gaunga and it means to walk) - É is an YE sound (normal i sound + normal e sound) - E is a normal e sound (full e sound aka eh) - Í / Ý is a normal i sound (ih) - I / Y is a half i sound (this sound is very similar to how the i is pronounced in most English words like fit and chips and this, so it’s sort of like a weak i that goes more towards an e sound, but it isn’t a full e sound, and it isn’t a full i sound either, so it’s right between an i sound and an e sound)

[@FrozenMermaid666]

I also have the right Norse pronunciation, which is the most logical, and by the way, I will use DH for the TH sound in the English words this and that, which is the approximant of D and not the approximant of T like the TH in the English word think, and I will use AO for the ‘closed’ A sound that is like an A and O sound said 2gether in one sound (similar to the A sound in Hungarian) that melts into a soft O sound! For example... - hvat sounds like hvat or vat or kvat - mæra sounds like mera - ávast sounds like avast - nágrindr sounds like naogrind:r - líkligr sounds like liklig:r or likliguhr - frænda sounds like freinda or freoynda or frenda - þat sounds like that - ræðir sounds like reidhir - hárr sounds like haruhr or har:r (could have also been har / harr) - gæfr sounds like gev:r or gevuhr - hverfa sounds like hverva or verva or kverva (any of them or all 3 could’ve been used) Also... - hæll sounds like heyl - saltr sounds like solt:r - mæla sounds like mala - drápa sounds like drapa or dropa - kæra sounds like kaera or kaira - ferr sounds like fer:r - jafna sounds like yavna - hœgri sounds like heoyri - girðing sounds like girdhing - hádegi sounds like haodegi - ørendislaust sounds like eorendislaust The word... - verr sounds like ver - ekki sounds like eki or ehki - þverra sounds like thverra - gegna sounds like gekna - vefja sounds like vevya - yfir sounds like ɪvɪr as in Icelandic - ætla sounds like etla - ofn sounds like ovn - náliga sounds like naoliga - sauma could have been pronounced either saima or seoyma like in Icelandic or both or even sauma as it is written - ofleti sounds like ofleti The emphasis of stress in Norse languages such as Norse and Icelandic etc is always at the beginning of the word - for compound words made of multiple smaller words, one should add a bit of stress at the beginning of each word that the compound word is made of and the most stress always at the beginning of the compound word... I don’t think there was any fixed way of pronouncing the diphthongs, and it’s most likely that the pronunciation of diphthongs such as AU would differ depending on the word, including pronunciations such as ai / au / ao / eoy / oy / ey etc, and it may have also differed depending on the region and accent, and the Æ in Norse can have many pronunciations, depending on the word, so it can sound like e / ei / a / eoy / oey / uey / ai / ea / ae etc, depending on what sound sounds best and the most natural and easiest to say in each word, so one should use one’s intuition a lot in Norse... The Rs are always different depending on the region and depending of the speaker in every language, but in Germanic languages, a soft normal R is usually used by most speakers and by younger speakers, and I highly recommend using a soft normal R in Norse and in all other languages that aren’t English as soft Rs have the best and most refined sound, soft Rs that are pronounced as fast as possible being the types of Rs that truly suit such refined languages as Norse and the other Germanic languages, whereas hard or prolonged or thrilled Rs sound very harsh and unrefined... By the way, it’s also important to know that in Norse and Icelandic the G is usually pronounced like a K sound, especially at the end of the word, and in many words the G is pronounced K even in the middle of the word, and there are also some words where the G is pronounced as a K even when it is at the beginning of the word, so it is normal to hear a lot of K sounds when there is a G in spelling - for example, lots of speakers of Icelandic will pronounce even the G in góðan (góðan daginn) as a soft K sound, without even realizing, and this pronunciation rule comes from Norse!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Some of the most notable differences between Norse and Icelandic are... - the R vs UR word ending (for example, vindr vs vindur = wind / veðr vs veður = weather) - the Norse letters ǫ / ǫ́ / œ / ǿ / ø are spellt with the letter ö in Icelandic (ǫld vs öld = age) - the definite article it is spellt ið in Icelandic (veðrit vs veðrið = the weather) - the letters d and t at the end of short words is spellt ð in Icelandic (at vs að = to + that) - the special Norse letters ą / ę / į / ǫ / ų and the long version of these letters aren’t used in Icelandic (ęsir = gods) - certain adjective endings are slightly different (likr vs legur = like)

[@zoekehagia1561]

I started learning Icelandic not long ago. I am still in the begining but i hope to eventually at least understand it. I got interested in Icelandic, because firstly the way it sounded seemed wonderful and also the grammar is very similar with the grammar of my mother tongue (which by the way is Greek). And let's not forget that the letters "þ" and "ð" are also part of my language. I first heard of Icelandic from the song "Vor í Vaglaskógi" from Kaleo.

[@icelandicforforeigners]

Arabic isn’t a pretty language with mostly pretty words and is a category 9 language with impossible letters, as it only has a few pretty words! I highly recommend learning Irish and Scottish Gaelic instead of Arabic, as they have sound patterns that are similar to those of Arabic, so they can sound a bit like Arabic in some ways, but they are both gorgeous languages with almost only pretty words, and they are category 3 languages, so they are way easier to learn and use than Arabic! I also highly recommend learning Norse and Gothic and Norwegian and Dutch and Faroese, and the other modern Celtic languages Welsh / Breton / Cornish and Manx, which are all super gorgeous like Icelandic and English, and they are real fun to learn and speak and hear and see etc, definitely a must-know for every learner!
