Hi babes! First of all, like I said in the video I am no pro! haha! This video is for those who have been asking me to teach Icelandic, so basically I'm just trying to help out as many people as I can since there is not that many Icelandic lessons online. I may seem very chill in this video it's because I was trying to focus haha! This is my first time trying to teach a language but I am so excited to teach you guys more x
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
Someone getting hurt: Ow!
Me, an intellectual: *Á*
Or Ái
Hell É
Me in every language: 🖕🏽
Nah you're just a cat
In my country we scream A (aah)
The only reason it's hard to learn is because there are no good learning resources to learn from
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. :)

Icelandic is such an interesting language, because it’s like a time capsule. It had the same ancestor had Swedish, Norwegian, & Danish, which was Old Norse, however it hadn’t changed as much as those other languages have. Modern Icelandic people would actually be able to understand the majority of Old Norse.
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!
When I was growing up, many years ago, my best friend was from Iceland. Her name was Berglind Balonskinky. That is as close as I can get, spelling wise. When her family came to the US, her father changed her name to Linda and their family name to Carlson. We were inseparable all thru high school. She passed away 15 years ago and I still miss her very much.
Hi
HER SURNAME SOUNDS LIKE RUSSIAN!!..RIP 😔😇

Rest in peace 💗
Šķiņķa:]
One reason Icelandic is hard to learn, is that icelandic people are so polite, they never correct you. You say “shit” instead of “cake”, they even don’t smile. They don’t mock you, they are such a sweet people. Love them. ❤️

Hey, I‘m Sarah,14 (Germany) and since 2 years my dream is to travel to Iceland 🇮🇸 ❤️ Now I started learning a little bit Icelandic and read books about Iceland. I‘m glad I found you 🤗!
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😂

Btw Tysm for making this video 🤗
I love how “L” is hard but “R” is easy for Spanish speakers. My mother tongue is Spanish and it’s just so fascinating how letters are written the same but pronounced so differently. Pretty cool.
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

@@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!!!
Tbh, I decided to learn a bit of Icelandic to understand at least something in Hatari interviews😅 Thank you so much for the video!❤️
Brooo
that's why I'm here
lol same
what's a hatari interview?
@@OfficialSilverMoon “Hatari” is an Icelandic techno-industrial band (sort of) They performed at Eurovision 2019, check them out, they’re incredible!
It's so strange because I understand everything you say (I'm Swedish) but it just sounds more complicated. Very interesting!
Hello
@Coalescence what
@Coalescence shut your mouth
I used to live in Iceland, the language I miss so much.
After Netflix Eurovision song contest: Story of Fire Saga, everybody wants to speak Icelandic.
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
Oh, yes this is perfect. I am obsessed with Scandinavian languages. I so love ( and I speak ) Norwegian and old Norwegian sound like Icelandic, right ? And yeah! Icelandic is absolutely amazing language what I so so so love
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
I'm swedish and i always thought icelandic had almost nothing in common with swedish, but hearing this i see lots of similarities! More so the sound than the spelling though
I’m so sad I’m half Icelandic and this year I got really interested in the language and culture and my grandma died last year😔😔 I just wanna ask her more
Edit: oh no now I’m crying
Keep learning! Find like minded people and learn together. Good luck :-)
Find people who knew her, and ask for lessons.
I want to keep this beautiful language alive but unfortunately there aren't many ways to learn it. My best friend Aaralyn (also an Iceland native) was teaching me but she sadly passed away and now I'm on my own with learning Icelandic. Hopefully the Icelandic government manages to succeed in incorporating the language into the digital world so that computers, smartphones, artificial intelligence in devices, and text to speech can manage to keep the language for others to use as well. Hopefully the younger generations don't turn a deaf ear to their Viking roots. And thank you for teaching us viewers your native tongue, I love your content.
Thanks for this video!!!! My mom's side of the family is Icelandic, I only know a cuss word and a few other things. Everytime I see my aunt she asks me if I've learned any Icelandic. I'm going to watch and practice every video. Next time I see her, I'll be ready. Thanks so much from USA.

Iceland is very Beautiful place. I am interested in this country. They are a small people, but they love and pride their culture, language, history. Respect! ❤❤❤ Hello from Kazakhstan!
I wish you could be slower when it comes to pronouncing the sentences. It's really hard for me to catch up. 😅
But thank you so much for teaching us. 🙏😍
You can set the video speed lower in the settings of the video
I'm fortunately from Austria. So I speak one of the most complex languages in the world (German). I also speak five more languages. Hence I had no troubles to memorize and pronounce the letters you presented. :-) And I really love your Icelandic accent, when you're talking English! By the way, the thing above te vowels is also called "accent" and not "comma". :-) Thanks for the lesson and best regards from Vienna!
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 UA-cam, lol..
I remember the lady in Wax museum in Reykjavik explained me these basics so nicely with patience ;)
I remember her so well, if I would be in Iceland I would visit this place again to see her again 😊 This video reminded me this moment ❤
Thank you for making these videos!! I'm visiting Iceland later this year and am SO EXCITED to visit the most beautiful country in the world!
the spanish R is stronger than the icelandic one! but your L is definitely impossible for me to pronunce...

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.
I'm in Iceland now, no clue on the language but everyone is super nice and they speak English. One of my favorite places so far. except for the fact that it never gets dark.
Thank you for making this video! I'm Icelandic myself, and we have a lot of family in Iceland, so that really kind of motivated me to want to learn the language.
My mother found me an Icelandic tutor in my town and I'm so excited to start studying Icelandic again!! (I had an online teacher 2 years ago but he stopped teaching for some reason) and I decided to watch this video to get the jist of the basics again, thank you for posting this
Ahh Germanic languages!!!! Love them. Rabenhilde would be your name in German I guess
Thank you for making these videos. My dad was for Iceland and he moved to Canada at the age of 4. A side from good morning and good night, Amma and Afi we didn't t learn much Icelandic. 2 years ago both my Dad and Afi past away and now I feel it is even more important to learn Icelandic. My kids are loving it and your video makes it little more fun.
Thank you. When I learn to write thank you in Icelandic I will add it.
Than you immensely for putting this out. You are gorgeous and smart and obviously very proud and knowledgeable about your great history. Thank you!!

Very helpful! I found your channel while preparing for an upcoming trip to Iceland. I’m trying to learn at least how to pronounce some of the towns and sites I’m going to so I don’t completely mangle them if I get asked where I’ve been or need to ask for help during the trip. Maybe how to pronounce places around Iceland can be another video idea for this series!
So glad for a new video! Love your work...💙
Iceland 🇮🇸 My dream country I don't know y im so love this country especially the nature
I love it! Wife and I are going to start learning. I hope you continue teaching the language.
I’m coming to Iceland with my school tomorrow, I’m really excited to see the amazing sights. From the uk🇬🇧💗

Icelandic with the "rrrr" sounds perfect for ASMR
The letters with commas (á é í ó ú) sounds quite similar to how you pronounce them in Irish which is super helpful, and so far it seems easy to catch on to the alphabet 😊 i love learning new languages so this is on my list!

7:57 "I'm getting pretty good at this" 😂
In Mexico 🇲🇽 we have a dialect called “Nahuatl” and most of the cities and towns sound as the Icelandic letter “L” , so I think it’s not that hard after all. For example:
Popocatépe”TL” Iztaccíhua”TL”
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
If anyone wants to learn more Icelandic, the UA-camr Jackson Crawford has a lot of videos on Icelandic language and history
Congrats! I'm from Brazil and I understood good you english language and your examples about Iceland language! Tks!
Aaahh I'm so happy you made this! I'm Swedish and as a part of high school Swedish class, you get to practice reading and understanding Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic and well, I fell in love with the Icelandic and I've been learning it by myself (slowly but surely) ever since. It really helps to be Swedish because some words are very similar or identical to the Swedish ones so I can sort of understand like 35% of what is being said... but I've got to learn the remaining 65% haha. Takk fyrir myndskeiðið, Hrafnhildur!! Þú ert frábær! Ég hlakka til næsta.

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
Thanks, this is pretty useful. BTW we in spanish (i'm from Mexico) we have a very similar "r" sound as yours like in the spanish word "urna" its kind of a soft vibrating r. Also here in Mexico we have this language called "nahuatl" which was the language from the Aztec empire. In this language the letters "tl", which appear in a lot of nahuaTL words, are pronounced exactly as your L, like exhaling with your tongue on top of your mouth. So, your letter L for me is like "etl" (with the sound I explained above). Keep on goind with the videos :)
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

Planning on attending grad school in and emigrating to Iceland, great resource! You're entirely correct that there are very few resources, but anyone planning on moving already has a leg up once they enroll in language courses bc they're here!

If anyone wants clarification on alphabet pronunciation there is a brilliant video on UA-cam by Dr Jackson Crawford (Basic pronunciation of modern Icelandic) ua-cam.com/video/pL5hLTEdeJw/v-deo.html that I have found invaluable! (From a native English speakers point of view) This is absolutely not to detract from your video Hrafnhildur, just to hopefully add a little something to help people understand where you’re coming from in that Icelandic is such a uniquely difficult to learn yet beautiful language. Love the fact the first part of your name in English is Raven.x
Thx for spending your time to teach us !
Oh my goodness graciousness, I ADORE you! You’re so sweet and kind, and that’s not something I see much!
I wanted to learn Icelandic because my favorite coach was from there, but recently I watched Eurovision (of all the stupid things) and fell back in love.
Hello! Im from México, and in the languagh the aztecs spoke (nàhuatl) there is a sound very simillar or id say identical to the ll. so if you know a couple words in nahuatl, youll not have problem saying Eyjafjallajökull or ell. for example, water is atl, snake is coatl and its pronouded like at the right of the tongue
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
Im so glad im from sweden and most of these sound similar to ours 😂 and even those that are not are pretty simple for me
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.
Thank you very much! A good start for the beginners like me!
So glad to see this even if it's a year after! A long time ago I tried to learn Icelandic, but there weren't really any videos at the time to help. :(( It's one of the hardest languages to learn, but thank you for this! The only other UA-camr I know who is Icelandic is an ASMRtist.

I had to come here for 2 reasons.
1 - to hear what your accent sounds like in English
2 - to hear Icelandic
I'm curious what vikings somewhat kinda barely may have sounded like and also what they may have sounded like speaking English
Been watching the vikings show and the accents are killing me
Thanks for the video series, and you are the first video that show up. As well as the prettiest
Girl...you're a natural for teaching languages. Excellent job.
Jag älskar detta! Jag är från Sverige, so i understand a lot actually. I am trying to learn icelandic and i would love to see more videos of you teaching icelandic 😊
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.
And that concludes the voting from the Icelandic jury #eurovision

Omg I Just found your channel randomly and I wish I had found about It last year cause my class did an assignment/ party about Iceland. We did a huge research (and we put It all in a book format), we learned the dances and we cooked some of the food as well. Your country is amazing and insanely beautiful!
PS. I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷
Still sound like most nordic languages. I think it is much easyer for us nordic people to learn Icelandic, me (swedish). It looks like "fornnordiska" like we say in Sweden.
Can you tell us in some video words what sounds almost the same but meaning is different?

Such a pretty shade of lipstick😍
