INTRODUCTION

LEARNING ICELANDIC

The purpose of this book is to teach you how to learn, rather than what to learn. It would be impossible to discuss the Icelandic language's complete grammatical structure and, every Icelandic word and its correct pronunciation in one book and if ever such a book were written it would be incredibly tedious. The aim of this book is to get you speaking Icelandic to the extent you can hold a reasonable conversation with a native speaker and you can read and understand a newspaper and magazine article written in Icelandic. Once you have progressed that far you will not need the help of any book, course, or teacheryou will just need to practice.

Make no mistakelearning a language when you are not living in a country where it is spoken is very difficult. Not only do you not have situations where you can practice your new found learning but you are constantly bombarded by your native language as soon as you leave the classroom or your chosen place of learning. In many ways it becomes a case of perseverance. I liken it to the starting of a new exercise regime. You enroll in a local gym (giving you the added incentive that you are actually paying to get fitter). At first you are full of enthusiasm and energy so you set yourself unrealistic goals. Instead of starting off walking and progressing to running, you start off at a mad sprint and quickly tire. The novelty soon wears off and going to the gym becomes an irksome duty. Then excuses for not going begin to kick in, and before you know it you have given up altogether.

• Absolutely anyone can learn Icelandic.
• I'm completely serious.

It doesnt matter what your excuse is. Maybe you think you stink at languages. Maybe you think youre too lazy. Maybe you flunked out of high school Icelandic (if it exists!) or maybe you just cant pronounce Icelandic words no matter how hard you try.

If you really want to learn Icelandic, you can do it. Best of all you can do it without even trying. The only effort you have to make is to read this book (and even then you can skip the bits you don't like), make a concrete plan to study (one you can stick to), keep it fun (extremely important), and stay motivated over the long haul (self-explanatory).

• Decide on a simple, attainable goal to start with so that you don't feel overwhelme d .
• Make learning Icelandic a lifestyle change.
• Invite Icelandic into your daily life. That way, your brain will consider it something useful and worth caring about.
• Let technology help you out. The internet is absolutely great for learning Icelandicuse it.
• Think about learning Icelandic as a gateway to new experiences. Think of the fun things you want to do and turn them into language-learning opportunities.
• Make new friends. Interacting in Icelandic is keyit will teach you to intuitively express your thoughts, instead of mentally translating each sentence before you say it. If you are a bit shy about getting the ball rolling with native speakers nearby, you can do this online (there is a whole chapter on this).
• Most of all do not worry about making mistakes. One of the most common barriers to conversing in a new language is the fear of making mistakes. But native speakers are like doting parents: any attempt from you to communicate in their language is objective proof that you are some sort of gifted genius. Theyll appreciate your effort and even help you. The more you speak, the closer youll get to the elusive ideal of native fluency.

To start off with don't set yourself unrealistic goals or a grandiose study plan. Keep it simple. Set aside a small amount of time that you can reasonably spare even if it just means getting up 15 minutes earlier in the morning. If you set that time aside and avoid distractions that 15 minutes will be invaluable. Above all make it as fun as possible. No one said learning a new language was easy but neither should it be irksome.

You can use this book in tandem with any other learning resource you may be using at the moment if that resource is working for you. At some point, though, you will find you have your particular way of learning, and discovering that is very important. Once you find what works, you will have achieved an important milestone, and your learning will accelerate accordingly. I hope that with this book you will find your "way" sooner rather than later. That is what I designed it to do.
