Living a whole academic year in Iceland sounded like a unique opportunity. It didn’t end there. I stayed for six years in total 😅. I completed my teacher training studies and a BA in Icelandic as a Second Language. Back in Spain, I earned a master’s degree in Translation and Interpretation. Years later, I passed the exam to become a sworn translator from Icelandic to Spanish. Today, I teach Icelandic full-time.

I won’t lie; learning Icelandic wasn’t easy, but it was gratifying. Icelandic has been the only language I’ve studied where I felt I could study as much as possible, but that didn’t mean I could use what I had just studied. It’s like the brain has its timing for Icelandic, and you can’t accelerate that even if you take five classes daily. Learning Icelandic gave me a new level of resilience. You’ll feel you’ve accomplished something.

Socially, learning Icelandic means a whole different experience in Iceland. Of course, Icelanders speak English too, but Icelandic is the key to Icelandic society. When you speak Icelandic, you’re part of the in-group (this is something many don’t realize).

Do you want Iceland to open its doors to you? Show Icelanders you’re part of the group with their language.

Wow Icelanders with these comprehensive Icelandic courses

These courses are the same people take before moving to Iceland or when they are already there.

You’ll speak, listen, read, write, and translate so that you develop as many skills as possible with a balanced, rounded approach. You’ll work with me personally and receive continuous feedback during our live classes.

If you can’t attend, you can watch the recordings, submit the assignments, and ask questions via email, just like everybody else (however, I’d love to see you sometime on Zoom so I can give you feedback on your pronunciation).

The time slots for group classes are from 18:00 to 21:55 CET/CEST. That’s 12:00-15:55 EST/EDT. You’ll have two to three weekly group classes (only one class per day). Each class is 55 minutes long.

To sign up for my courses, visit my website and choose the Icelandic course that suits your needs and interests. You can also take a free placement test to find out your level.

So, what are you waiting for? Join me and other learners in eighteen countries who are discovering the beauty and power of Icelandic. Whether you want to reconnect with your heritage, travel to Iceland, or learn something new, I can help you achieve your goals and have fun. Take advantage of this opportunity and enroll in my courses today.

Thank you for reading my post, and I hope to see you soon in my virtual classroom. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me via email, my website, or social media. You can follow me on Facebook, Instagram,LinkedIn, and X. If you liked this post, please share it with your friends and family who might be interested in learning Icelandic too.

I’m looking forward to meeting you in class!

Heyrumst!
