PREREQUISITE: Students in this class should have either completed the Basic-Level 1 class or have had exposure to (not mastery of) the concepts outlined for Level 1.
The first session of this class will review the key concepts presented in Basic 1. Students will be challenged to put their knowledge in action by speaking each class, putting into practice lessons of that day. The class will also introduce how verbs cause both direct and indirect objects of a sentence to bend (decline), introducing some new irregular verbs, introduction to prepositions, adjectives, and general conversational. Class size is limited to ten learners so there is sufficient time for all to speak and use new learning goals. Birna Sigurbjörnsdóttir will facilitate the learning.

Generally, the new classes will focus on building strength in additional verb classes (present and past tenses), irregular verbs, adjectives, prepositions and adverbs.

Course Syllabus
PREREQUISITE: Students in this class should have either completed the Basic-Level 2.5 class or have permission of instructor.
The 3.0 level class builds upon the more complex pieces of the 2.5 class. Completion of the 2.5 level class will be a basic prerequisite for taking the 3.0 class, or with approval from Birna. More irregular verbs, adjectives, adverbs and prepositions will be introduced with an eye toward communicating more complex thoughts and ideas. Colloquial phrases may also be introduced to help learners speak and listen in Icelandic in the real world.
Class size is limited to ten so there is sufficient time for all to speak. Students will be encouraged to use their knowledge to ask and answer questions aloud during class time, using what they are learning, often with visual prompts and support. Birna Sigurbjörnsdóttir will facilitate the learning.
