    Yeah, that really helped me out! I just wan't to read Icelandic correctly, even if I understand nothing😂 The biggest problems I have are with the L and with the difference between E and É, as well as I and Í. Additionally I don't really understand how to just say the letter Đ and Þ, like when I say the complete Alphabeth from A to Ö

    Im learning as much as i can. I listen to the language A LOT throughout the week and say the words back to myself. Hopefully soon i can meet or find someone from there thats willing to become frineds and help out. I wanna become a regular visitor there at some point and would like to become fluent before going. I know everyone speaks english but i would feel more comfortable and im sure some natives would appreciate it as well.

      I learned 4 new words from this video, namely yddari and ýsa and æst and örvar which is the plural of ör! The letter x is at the beginning of the word xýlófón! I highly recommend learning Icelandic / Norse / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese / Welsh which are seven of the prettiest languages ever, as they are as gorgeous / refined / poetic as English and way too pretty not to know! I am close to advanced level in Icelandic (upper intermediate level in both Icelandic and Norse) at the moment, after learning them for a few months, and I highly recommend learning all the words from all the videos teaching them and from all the vocab videos (Go Learn etc) and from G translate and also memorizing and analyzing many song lyrics and watching every video with Icelandic sub, as focusing on vocab is key to fast progress! Icelandic is so heavenly!

      @1776foreverfollowed I've just started to learn Icelandic and I'm visiting next summer! I'm from the German part in Switzerland so the pronunciation should be fine, the 'R' is quite similar in Swiss German. My reason why I'm learning it is the same, I think with so many english speaking tourists it's something special for the natives if I can understand a little bit. Have fun and good luck!!!🤗

  • @quietone748
    @quietone748 10 месяцев назад

    Thank you. It's hard to figure out the pronunciations when you are just provided with the linguistic written pronunciations and it's much better having real examples as well. I've hear the "G" is different depending on a lot of different things such as placement and adjacent vowels or consonant combination but have yet to figure those out.

    • @mbdg6810
      @mbdg6810 10 месяцев назад

      They are slightly different and it’s hard to notice due to the fact that languages like english don’t differentiate them. So i’ll try my best to use example words that show a difference Eth is for th sound in “they” or “then” like he said. Thorn meanwhile is used like the th in “both” or even the word “thorn” itself. Thorn is basically used when th sound is more distinct and not cut short.

    • @quietone748
      @quietone748 10 месяцев назад

      @@mbdg6810 The "th" in the words the, that, these, them are voiced, meaning you engage your vocal chords. The "th" in the words thorn, thistle, theory are unvoiced. That is the difference.

    I speak Norwegian and i find it interesting that you have a lot of the same sounds that we have exept you have individual letters for what we just think of as difthongs. Like á, é and ó. And also that au and æ replaces our øy and ei. If I'd just get the grammar rules into my head I don't think it would be difficult to learn the language. They are suprisingly much more alike than i thought, especially if i combine listening with reading. Because some words are spelled the same while others sound the same. And we don't really use any of the "english" letters like c, q or w either. I think writing Norwegian using the Icelandic alphabet would actually be more practical in some sense

    I love how some of the words are similar to English words with different meanings like kaka can mean poo and kex is slang for pants so if you had kaka in your kex you have filled your trousers this will hopefully help me to remember two of my favourite things cake and biscuits and hopefully not put me off them 😅

      I would suggest making more videos teaching Icelandic, including vocab videos with very advanced terms and advanced verbs and rare or poetic verbs and terms etc as well as some videos on Icelandic idioms and expressions and slang - I haven’t found videos teaching them yet, so they would be so helpful for advanced learners, myself being quite close to an advanced level!

    My first language is Irish and I noticed something with the word for watch (Úr). The Irish word for hour is Uair, pronounced ew-er, and in German it is Uhr. For example, in Irish, one hour is "uair amháin" pronounced ew-er ah-wan (like wan in (wan)d) and the word for watch is "uaireadóir" pronounced ew-er-a-door

      It’s because Germanic languages come directly from Latin, and the modern Celtic languages also come mostly from Latin (and Gaulish) and have strong Norse influences, and even the Slavic languages come from Latin, so most or at least thirty percent to half of the words are cognates, but it’s not always easy to tell because many of them have been modified too much or are used with different meanings - I am learning all the Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages and the modern Celtic languages and Latin languages and Slovene and Hungarian etc, and it’s amazing how many cognates I come across every time I learn new words in these languages!
