Thanks!
Kaka = cake? Much different from Spanish caca! 😂
Dysgu Cymraeg has prepared me for you, Íslenska 🙂☺️🌟🇮🇸.
Takk fyrir
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

This video was great! Such a shame that you didn't continue to post videos.
Thank you so mcuh, such a beautiful language
This was a great one. I still can't roll my R
Very helpful!!
This was so helpful!
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!!!🤗
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.
I loved your lesson!!! I would really appreciate if you keep this course on going! 😁 Because I’m wanting very hard to learn Icelandic!!!
but i dont understand u ú o ó can u describe
Thank you soo much!! You have no idea how helpful this was to me...And can you please upload many videos about greetings? It will be very helpful for me. The video is soo clear thank you soo much..
When will you make more videos Sir ?
спасибо большое, просмотрел, но нихуя не запомнил(
what is the difference between ð and þ? it seems like they both make a th sound
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.
@@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.
Also ð is not used at the beginning of a word but þ may be.
why is "e" and "i" the same? And why U and Ö sound the same? And why in word Helicopter, even though there was only one L, you still pronounced it like double L or something.
the icelandic word for cake sounds like a word for "poop" in spanish (caca)

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
part 2 perhaps?
We should briŋ back þ!
I am so happy to be learning the language from my FAVORITE COUNTRY in the world: Iceland. I do wish to move in some day! :)

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 😅
Oh, I cannot stand that word lol! 😂 I made a new form for it kækja, which sounds way better - kækjan er alltof góð, og ég elskaði kækjurna alltaf! By the way, that yt name made me laugh so hard!
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!
What a beautiful language it is!! It’s so intoxicating and sounds majestic ❤

Excellent lesson, thank you.
Thank you. I want more 😍
Hi dude. Thanks for the interesting content. Please make more Icelandic learning videos.
The most clearer content I have found so far, thank you so much 🤟🤟
ah finally a video with examples instead of just naming the letters! thank you!
"J" Isn't really hard to pronounce. It does what most Germanic languages make it do. Only exception is English. Also if you have the Icelandic keyboard on Gboard, you'll get Ð and Þ.
Thank you for the excellent video! Edit: I especially appreciate the fact that you didn't have background music playing. We are able to focus fully on the excellent content.
Glad you enjoyed it!

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!
So you’re supposed to swear when you say the name for Icelandic Þþ!
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
Uhr is also a German Cognate to the French "Heure" which sounds exactly the same.

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!

Words do start with x, take the Icelandic word for xylophone
There is no such word.
I believe that word actually starts with s
@@iceland1012 we can make a new word :)
