I’ve found plenty of sources of Icelandic phrases and decsriptions of the language and its pronunciation, but the recordings your partner made are excellent: well recorded and clearly enunciated. In particular, the pronunciation of ‘l’ and ‘ll’ is now much clearer to me. I’ve worked through some of the course at http://icelandic.hi.is/, but the recordings are of variable quality and rather hurried. I hope in due course your partner will find time to add more phrases. Thanks / takk fyrir.
My son is working on a project on Iceland in school. (He is inventing a game on Iceland.) Can you tell me how one would say “Advance (number) of spaces” and “Go back (number) of spaces”?
my partner is icelandic also, since im South African and will have to move to iceland also oneday this really comes in handy since im just not good at languages and canrt easily get a grip on foriegn languages
Is there any hope to hear a following ? (or did I miss it ?). I profoundly encourage you to do so. Such podcasts are so pleasant a way to learn this language, which people, culture and country I am found of… Merci beaucoup / þakka þér fyrir !

This is great! im trying to learn so i can go out there to see my realatives! the kool thing is i am related to erik the red and leif erikson its really cool
I have a project for my world cultures class about Iceland. We have to write a portion of our paper on the language. It would be helpful if I could get words like parents, glacier, lava, and other descriptive words about the country (in Icelandic). Thanks
I want to propose to my girlfriend in Icelandic. I want to surprise her. I can’t find how to say “Will You Marry Me?” in Icelandic, can someone help me please?

Farðu áfram um einn, tvo, þrjá, fjóra, fimm, sex, … reiti.
Farðu til baka einn , tvo, þrjá, fjóra, fimm, sex, … reiti.
Note: numbers must be in the genitive case, this only applies to 1, 2,3 and 4 (and 21, 22, 23, 24, etc) but still, that’s important!

“Viltu giftast mér?” (literally “Will you marry me?”) is the way forward if you wanna propose:)
