Very useful. Young lady is very clear. Just a little quick but, of course, I can review. Thank you.
Hi there, are you planning on uploading any more lessons?
6 is my favorite Icelandic number :)
I always wondered why the number one was pronounced Étt but was written Einn
excelentt thank you very much
I LOVE IT
I would love to be a language teacher in MúltiKúlti.
I highly recommend learning the prettiest languages ever created Norse / Gothic / Icelandic / Faroese / English / Dutch / Norwegian / Danish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish as they are way too pretty not to know, and also teaching them on yt, especially if one has access to proper resources that teach them in detail, one should get all the words and details etc on yt, by making many series of very well-made HD videos, including vocab videos with hundreds and thousands of words with English translation that are very easy to read (with simple black background with a nice Runic design at one corner, and white text in bold that is easy to read, without fancy calligraphies and without all-caps text, with both the Norse / Gothic etc pronunciation and the English translation repeated at least twice or thrice) and all sorts of videos on grammar / prepositions / conjunctions etc and verbs, that are without spelling mistakes and without all-caps text, and other entertaining videos comparing words in Norse / Gothic etc to the English / Dutch / German / Spanish / French / Portuguese word etc, with extra Spanish / English / Dutch subs that are optional, because these languages are very known, so, including text and subs etc in these languages in the video title and description is naturally going to attract more viewers as they have so many speakers, and that would also help Norse and Gothic and Icelandic and Faroese and Breton and Cornish etc become more known, as these languages are very unknown, even though they are as pretty as English and should also be universal languages like English, so they need a lot of help! There should also be a group of many volunteers working together to get all the prettiest languages that aren’t known and all the other pretty languages that aren’t known added to G translate and Duolingo and all other language learning apps and make a lot of HD content such as HD yt videos that are the type of videos that get millions of views, because most learners are not going to learn them if there aren’t many well-made HD videos and resources on yt, as learning languages without vocab videos etc is not easy, and even though I am learning them that way by using every resource and video that I can find and by memorizing lyrics and by using dictionaries from the Net and Wkp etc, most learners wouldn’t, because it’s not easy to learn languages that way without many entertaining videos and vocab videos etc - by the way, other pretty languages that need a lot of help are East Norse and Forn Svenska and Proto Germanic and Manx and Greenlandic Norse and Occitan and Neapolitan and Sicilian and Latin and Sardinian and Pretarolo and Venetian and Gallo and Catalan and Galician and Corsican and Guernsey and Luxembourgish and Hungarian and Latvian and Slovene and Esperanto and Walloon and Elfdalian and Middle English and Norn and Óld English and the Frisian languages as well as the middle versions and the óld versions of the 6 modern Celtic languages and of Modern Dutch / Modern German / Modern Norwegian / Modern Swedish / Modern Danish etc and also the other languages based on Dutch / German / Norwegian / Italian / Danish! I have been trying to bring back Norse and Gothic (and the other ancient Germanic languages and Celtic languages) ever since I first discovered these heavenly languages, by letting all know about these languages and even sharing the correct pronunciation rules (that no one teaches) with a V sound instead of W (there is no W sound in West Norse) and explaining how Norse grammar works, because I have developed a sense for what sounds right in Norse / Germanic languages and for what pronunciation sounds best for each word, plus I can understand Norse grammar perfectly, but unfortunately I don’t have the possibility to make HD videos myself at the moment, otherwise I would have made HD videos teaching them, as I love teaching Norse and Gothic and Icelandic etc, and I love learning them while teaching them, which is one of the best ways to learn new languages, but I can record the pronunciation of each Norse / Gothic word if necessary, or I can teach one the correct pronunciation rules, and I can even write the phonetic spelling of each word, if one doesn’t know how to say the Norse / Gothic words, for I really want to help these wonderful languages become known and spoken anew by many, as they are some of the greatest works of art of all time, their gorgeous words and aspect and sound patterns etc being as pretty and modern and poetic and heavenly and cool as those of Modern English!
Your language sounds really beautiful and romantic, but for me, as a Pole, it is very difficult to pronounce. Nevertheless, I will try to learn at least the basics because I would like to go to your beautiful country.
Icelandic and Gothic and Norse have some of the easiest pronunciation rules and accents that are the easiest to imitate, being as easy as the neutral American accent (Modern English) and Dutch, and they are all category 1 languages that are naturally easy to learn and memorize, whereas Polish is one of the hardest European languages that is category 4 and that has a pronunciation that is not as easy as that of Norse languages and most other Germanic languages - I never had difficulty imitating the Icelandic accent and saying most of the Icelandic words, not even at a beginner level, though I am now advanced level in Icelandic, and, I have some tips re Icelandic pronunciation, to get the right Icelandic accent and pronunciation, one must say the Icelandic words in a breathy tone (Icelandic is the most romantic language as it has the breathiest pronunciation and accent) especially by including a soft H sound before most double consonants such as TT / SL / KK etc, so ekki sounds like ehki etc, and sometimes an extra T sound is included when there is double L and SL and a few other consonant combinations, for example, fjalla sounds like fyatla and veisla sounds like veistla etc, and FL and FN are usually pronounced with a P sound instead of the F sound as in the word stefna which sounds like stepna, and also, the eth letter ð is a less obvious type of D sound like the TH in the English words then / the / that etc, whereas the thorn letter þ is a less obvious T sound like the TH in the English words thinking / thing / through etc, and the i / y in Icelandic / Norse / Faroese is usually pronounced more towards an e sound like the i in the English words chip and with etc, so it is not a full i sound, nor a full e sound, but between an i sound and an e sound, while the á is pronounced au, and, the AU diphthong is pronounced EOY said together fast in one sound, and ö is pronounced EO said together fast in one sound, and u is pronounced yu said together fast in one sound tho when there are multiple Us in a word usually only the last u is pronounced yu and the others sound more like a normal u as it’s easier that way, and, the ey / ei diphthongs are pronounced exactly as they are spellt and they sound like a normal e sound and a normal i sound, and the æ is pronounced ai usually tho in some words it sounds more like an e sound like in ætla and stærri, and the D is usually pronounced T when at the end of the word and sometimes even at the beginning of the word like in the word dís which is pronounced tis, and, the G is also pronounced K most of the times, especially when at the end of the word, and in short words like ég / mig etc it isn’t pronounced, so ég sounds like ye and mig sounds more like me, and é is pronounced ye! (I highly recommend learning all the pronunciation rules and sounds very well, to get used to the sounds, and learning each word automatically, but regularly revising each previously learnt word, while constantly learning many new words as well, and regularly saying the Icelandic words, and it should come naturally eventually, because it’s like that with every Germanic language, so it may seem harder at first because one isn’t used to the sounds yet, but if one keep hearing them and saying them and revising the words etc, it shall become second nature, and, by the way, I highly recommend learning the prettiest languages ever created Norse / Gothic / Icelandic / Faroese / English / Dutch / Norwegian / Danish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish together, as they are way too pretty not to know, and, I am also learning them and all other Germanic languages and Celtic languages, as they are some of the greatest works of art, plus they reflect me perfectly, and they are the most fun to learn and speak and hear and see, so learning them is real fun!)

Thank you very much for sharing this little part of your culture 😄
Takk fyrir. Are you going to make new lessons?
Currently, we don't have any plans on making more but you never know about the future.
Takk fyrir góða skýringin. So, the 'n' in 'grænt' and 'brúnt' is silent? Kær kveðja frá Hamborg í Þýskalandi.
It's not quite silent. We do pronounce by exhaling through the nose, which can be pretty difficult :)
From what I can hear, it’s like trying to add a soft H sound right before the soft N only when there are two Ns (NN) and, it’s also similar with other double consonants that are the same like KK / TT (so it will sound like HK / HT) etc, while LL is usually pronounced TL!
why no video touches the O with a crossed line? this one: ø
ø is not a letter in the Icelandic language. The o's we use are: O, Ó and Ö
The letter ø is only used in West Norse / Norwegian / East Norse / Danish / Faroese - in Icelandic and Swedish, the letter ö is used instead of ø and œ for the same sound, namely the eo sound, which is technically a diphthong as it has a normal e sound and a normal o sound said together fast in one sound!
By the way, I would suggest recording the sound with a better device, or maybe in a different room, because there’s an echo / noise at the end of each word when pronounced, which makes it harder to hear and kinda distracting, which is probably due to the room being empty tho it could also be due to the recording device - hopefully this issue can be fixed, as these Icelandic lessons are really helpful, and they could reach a lot more viewers if the sound would be HQ and very clear with no echos or background noises etc! (Íslenskan er frábær!)
Excellent video, thanks for your explanation.
Around 3:18 it’s a P sound, not really a B sound, as one can clearly hear, the FN / FL letter combinations being pronounced PN / PL respectively, as it would be impossible to say these letter combinations with a B sound as B cannot really be said before Ns and Ls, I mean, one could try, but it would be very hard to do that and it would not come naturally, so one naturally says P without realizing - however, speakers don’t usually realize that they say P instead of B in those kinds of words, and also in many words that start with B the B is also pronounced P like in the word bóka which is pronounced pouka, and even bakka was pronounced with more of a P sound instead of B, so it sounded like pahka, and they also don’t usually realize that they say K instead of G in most words that have G at the end of the word, so G is usually pronounced K when at the end of the word and sometimes even when in the middle of the word or at the beginning of the word, and also don’t usually realize that they say T instead of D in many of the words that have D either at the end of the word or at the beginning of the word, for example, the word dís is pronounced tis and the word mynd is pronounced mynt with T sounds, and, the LL is usually pronounced TL in most words, but in some words like helló and in certain names and loanwords etc is it pronounced like a normal L, and when there is a T after LL in spelling it is also pronounced like a normal L and the T sound is said after the L sound! The letter R in Icelandic and Gothic and Norse and all other Germanic languages is nor supposed to be rolled, and it’s in fact a soft normal R sound aka a tap (not a rolled R as in Spanish, which sounds harsh as a motor sound) and it usually sounds very soft when Icelandic is spoken normally, so, even though in the video the R sound was exaggerated / rolled to emphasize it, it’s not how it usually sounds, and it usually sounds very soft without the engine sound, and I highly recommend pronouncing the R as soft and as fast as one can, in all pretty languages, especially in Germanic languages, as Germanic languages are the most refined languages that were meant to be pronounced softly with soft Rs etc, R being one of the problematic sounds that must be pronounced soft and fast to sound good, as it automatically becomes thrilled / rolled if one tries to prolong it or if one tries to emphasize it - also, to those that aren’t familiar with the eth and thorn letters, the eth letter ð is a less obvious D sound like the TH in the English words then / the / this etc and the D in the Spanish word nada, while the thorn letter þ is a less obvious T sound like the TH in the English words thinking / things / throughout etc, and they are also used in Norse as well as East Norse and Óld English, and maybe also in Óld Norwegian, while the þ is also used in Gothic and a few other Germanic languages! Now, the G at the end of short words like ég and og isn’t usually pronounced, especially when speaking fast, so ég usually sounds like ye and og sounds like uo, and when pronounced, it’s more like a soft H sound which isn’t the same sound as the softer G in saga or segir (the soft G is segir is still a normal G sound, but slightly softer, so when saying it fast, it can sound a bit like an y / i sound to listeners, but it is a G sound tho) etc, so lag is pronounced lah with soft H sound, and in most words the G and the K are also pronounced H before a T or N or some other consonant, for example, óútreiknanlegt is pronounced outreihnanleht, and the word vakt was pronounced vaht and the word bleikt was pronounced bleiht with H sound, but rækta was pronounced raikta with a K sound, so when there is an ai sound / æ letter before the KT it is pronounced KT in other words as well, but when there is an ei / ey diphthong and an i letter and an e letter and an a letter etc KT is usually pronounced HT with H sound - mm / tn / mp etc are slightly nasal, but the good type of nasal sound which is kinda closed and which sounds cool, not the open nasal sound that’s used in French, and, the J in Icelandic is not really a é sound because é is pronounced ye / ie with e sound after the i sound, and a better comparison would have been í / ý which are pronounced the same way that’s also the same sound as the y sound in English and the normal i / y sound in general, which is a full / normal i sound, and in most other Germanic languages the J is pronounced the same way, and, the words that have RN letter combination are pronounced with an extra T sound between the R sound and the N sound, so barn is pronounced bartn, and it’s a bit nasal because of the TN letter combination, and it’s the same with the word ending inn when it is right after an ei / ey diphthong, so einn is pronounced eitn also with the same nasal TN sound!

Thank you for your lessons, they're really helpful! But I'm confused about the pronoun "hán". It's listed with the singular pronouns but it's translated as plural, "they are". Could you please elaborate this point? The grammar books I've checked so far don't mention this feature. Curious.
Hi, sorry for the late reply. The pronoun "hán" is singular and refers to one person. It is relatively new and is used for non-binary gender, that is, people who are not male nor female. In English, the pronoun "they" is often used in this scenario even if referring to one person (singular).
Logically, it is wrong to refer to multiple things / ppl as ‘they’ in English, and logically it makes no sense - one thing / dude etc is one or he / she / it, not they, so only the words one or it should be used for unknown gender, and I usually just use he when saying things in general, or one! The Icelandic pronouns seem to be the same as the ones used in Old Norse, and I’m also learning Old Norse! I am beginner level in Icelandic & Old Norse and intermediate level in Norwegian / Swedish / German and advanced level in Dutch, and I think Old Norse and Icelandic have about 80 to 90 percent mutual intelligibility, and most words seem to be the same, or only one letter is different!
Þetta er mjög gott! Takk kærlega og bless bless! 🙂
