Hello,
I live in San Francisco, California, and would love to find Icelandic instruction in the Bay Area.
I am currently studying several languages, but Icelandic was my first love. Although I have been studying Icelandic on my own for about four years, the resources available to me are limited, and although I can read and even write fairly well (all things considered) I have had no conversation practice whatsoever, my vocabulary is small and probably not very practical, and I do not feel very confident about my syntax. I joined the Icelandic Association of Northern California, went to a couple Thorrablot dinners, placed an ad in the newsletter, wrote letters and e-mails to the Association officers, etc., but did not get much of a response, so I am still confined to the books and other materials I have acquired over the years: the textbooks 'Icelandic' by Stefan Einarsson and 'Teach Yourself Icelandic' by P.J.T. Glendening, the Hippocrene concise dictionary and an old ensk-islensk ordabok by Sigurdur Orn Bogason, 'Thaettir' by Halldor Laxness and several books of poetry, Bjork's album Gling-glo and a few movies! I actually translated some poems into Icelandic, which are undoubtedly riddled with errors, and have been translating an Argentinian novel as well, just for fun. In the next couple of years I plan to apply to the B.Ph.Isl. program at Haskoli Islands. In any case, I would like to travel to Iceland some day and learn the language there, but it can hardly hurt to have a headstart. Thakk' ydur fyrir!
Vir dingarfyllst,
Rebecca Whittington

| Description |
I am a recent college graduate who will be studying at the University of Iceland next year. I have studied the Iceladic Sagas and Old Norse for a year and a half, and want to learn modern Icelandic. I have some knowledge of basic vocabulary and grammatical rules, but would pretty much need to start from scratch. I would like to grasp basic grammar/vocab ulary and begin to learn conversationa l Icelandic. I would like to meet once a week, possibly twice, from the begiing of June 2004 through the end of August, 2004. I am looking for a natice Icelandic speaker with a good understanding of how to teach a language to a beginner. I am hoping that s/he will recommend some good Icelandic text books for me to purchse.
