    Song lyrics:
    This is the a-ö [a-z] of Iceland, so try to sing along.
    This is the a-ö [a-z] of Iceland, what could possibly go wrong?
    I start my day with coffee or kaffi [coffee] is what we say I pour a little mjólk [milk] in and feed my horse some hey [hay] I look out the window to see if there is sól [sun]. I eat my morgunmatur [breakfast] and sit down in my stól [chair]. This eyja [island] is kind of awesome no matter what you see, There’s hverir [hot springs], list [art], and jöklar [glaciers] And vinir [friends] you can meet. Skál! [cheers!] So pack your töskur [bags] Iceland has it all. From austur [East] to vestur [West] Just don’t look for elves. You don’t even exist! This is the a-ö [a-z] of Iceland, so try to sing along.
    This is the a-ö [a-z] of Iceland, what could possibly go wrong? Our sundlaugar [swimming pools] are cosy. Afklæðast [undress] all the way. But don’t forget sundskýla [swimming shorts] Before you go and play. You might see a torfbær [turf house] Or hike in the þjóðgarð [national park] And you must say hi to Villi Because that is my dad! Pabbi! [Dad!] And you can rent a bílaleigubíll [rental car] Enjoy the drive on hringvegurinn [the ring road] Be mindful of malarvegir [gravel roads] And don’t traðka [tread] on the moss - It grows back so slow! Like seventy years!
    This is the a-ö [a-z] of Iceland, so try to sing along. This is the a-ö [a-z] of Iceland, what could possibly go wrong? Since the upphaf alda [beginning of time] The sheep has been around. Vinaleg [friendly] and gracious, Every man’s best friend. We cuddle them and klappa [pat them] And then take all their ull [wool]. We wear them like the kappar [champions] And they’ve always kept us… Full!
    This is the a-ö [a-z] of Iceland, so try to sing along. This is the a-ö [a-z] of Iceland, what could possibly go wrong? This is the a-ö [a-z] of Ísland [Iceland] So reyndu að syngja með [try to sing along] This is the a-ö [a-z] of Ísland [Iceland] Now memorise this lag [song] You just sang the hardest karaoke song in the world, you speak Icelandic.
    You can even say Plokkfiskur [Icelandic mashed haddock and potatoes] You’re almost an Icelander, almost, seriously it’s a lot of paperwork. Just come and visit!

      Well, it's actually better to lay than stand on it, if you lay on it you spread your weight instead of having it all one place. Same reason you try to crawl back up on the ice if you fall into water with ice, that spreads your weight so the ice dosn't crack.

      The thing about Korean is it's easy to copy the sounds by ear but sometimes you can't even tell they're using English words, and Japanese is tricky because you have to read in romaji

      Tia Nai yeah Japanese, Chinese, and Korean languages are closer sounding to English except for a few exceptions when converted to English characters. So really they’re easier to pronounce than German or Ireland

      Mugger English words are closer to German than Chinese/Japanese/Korean... a lot of English comes from German or shares the same roots as German. Plus, Chinese has tones while German doesn’t.
