Very helpful video to start learning Icelandic
There are limited resources for Icelandic but this video taught me more about pronunciation than anything else so far! I'm currently doing the free course through the university in preparation for my trip. Já to part 2 and takk kærlega Dan!
I was in Reykjavik in April. It was a childhood dream to visit the country. Every day I think about going back and maybe living in that place for months 😄
This is so cool!

I went to Iceland in October 2023 with a friend. I booked the Food Walk for our first day. Jenny was our amazing guide and helped familiarize us with the area, as well as introduce us to some absolutely fantastic food and culture. 10/10 as amazing as all of the reviews claim!
Thanks for sharing! Jenny sure is fantastic! 🥰 We are so happy to hear that you had a good time!
Great stuff. Yes please for part two. I think that Hálfviti is like "halfwit" in English. Another very useful phrase is: Svifnökkvinn minn er fullur af álum. Takk fyrir!
The wife and I visited Iceland 3 times last year and booked another 2 for this year, Dan, I first saw you last year where I learned go on dying for good morning and couple more phrases, they worked and had I little fun to with then especially in the Steak Husi in Reykjavik, the same waiter greeted us each time (3 times each time we’ve been, greedy yes, we where on holiday) we went have said when I’m back in May I will be able to speak a little more, we have a bet on I have to buy him dinner. Please keep them coming
Takk fyrir for this video and yes a part 2 please and 3 , 4 , 5 ;)

In my travels, I've learned probably the most important phrase to learn is "where is the toilet". I still remember that in some languages, but I'd have to refresh myself if we go back to Japan or Thailand.
I've been living in Reykjavík for 4 months and done the Íslenska A1, this is more than what i know... pretty complex stuff for turist
Yes please do part 2. I don’t need swear words but showing my age when I ask to please know how to ask where are the toliets please ? 😎🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Kveðja frá Québec-fylki! Áfram Ísland! 🇮🇸
If you go back a thousand years, Old English [also known as Old Anglo-Saxon] had þorn (Þ, þ) and ðæt (Ð, ð). In theory they were supposed to be different sounds, the first being unvoiced (as in the modern English "think") and the second being voiced (as in the modern English "mother"). However, this distinction doesn't seem to have been consistent, and was different in regional dialects. Most English-speakers today are unaware of the two different sounds, though they make the distinction without being aware of it. If you mixed them up in ordinary speech, you would sound peculiar. It sounds, from this video, that there is no difference between the two in modern Icelandic.
hahaha.. I always thought Hálfviti is halfwit. But it means the same thing.
I will learn islandic when I come over there. By the way tourist can be volcano killers by putting this on there phones Tidbinbilla satellite dishes
This will bring helium 3 on there phones which sets magma

Hey, this American calls people shit heels all the time. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it was first attested in American English in 1898. They don't indicate any connection to the Icelandic word.
Admittedly, I don't have the budget to travel the world,
But there is no sadness either,
Because by watching and imagining your videos, I am fulfilling each and every hobby of traveling the world.
But I request you,
if possible, to edit the video like "Kara and Nate" or "Drew Binsky", because that type of editing looks very good to watch, and it's also more popular in the market. 500 to 600 million people monthly are watching that editing.
Although your editing is also good, but if it's like that, it will be even better.
Because when I watch Kara and Nate or Drew Binsky's videos and I watch your video, there is a world of difference.
