Have you ever wanted to learn Icelandic?

Icelandic is one of the oldest languages that are still spoken today that hasn’t changed much over the centuries. The efforts to preserve the Icelandic language are very strong in Iceland and around the world with concentrated efforts to pass on the language to younger generations and continue to create literature, music, and film in the Icelandic language. The threat of the Icelandic language becoming extinct continues to be enlarged given social media and digital technology, as well as the complexities of the historic structure of the language.

Thankfully, there are lots of resources available online to help you learn! Board Member Erna Pomrenke, of the Icelandic Association of Washington D.C, has put together a list of videos and links that can help guide you through from introductory phrases and conversation, to the complexities of Icelandic grammar and pronunciation.
