- The language in Iceland is Icelandic and it's safe to say it's quite a (hilarious) challenge to speak it! So we spoke to a local to learn some of the basics

Transcript:
Finni has been helping us with our filming in Iceland and he’s kindly agreed to teach us some Icelandic, so let’s do it!
I love that one…”Já”
“Taller the ensku?” Yeah… That was pretty good! Thanks! This is my personal one:
How do you say the numbers? So, from 1 to 10?
And how do you say the big volcano?
So, as you can see, Icelandic isn’t the easiest language but massive thanks to Finni or, Takk? verði þér að góðu.

Sounds like ancient Viking talk.
As a Western Norwegian, Icelandic is insane to me in the sense that there'll be two or three sentences of what sounds like complete mumbo-jumbo followed by a sentence that sounds more like what I'd say than what someone from another part of Norway would say. The historic connection really comes out.
Wow i didnt know the number six was that way
Icelandic is for Germanic languages what latin is for romance languages
The grammar is similar to German.
I don't know why, but when I hear Nordic languages, I " miss them "
In my adoptive family we have a cousin who speaks this beautiful language. I hope it stays for many more generations.
North Germanic Language
To a Finnish person this sounds like a Saami, Swedish and Viking languages mixed with little bit of Finnish accent.
Why doesn't duolingo have it yet!
After I lived in Iceland for 3 years (now moving to Denmark), I can say that I love how Icelandic sounds. Such an honor to hear one of the closest languages to the Old Norse - in fact, modern Icelandic changed very little from Old Norse.
I love to hear Icelandic spoken, because my grandparents only spoke it, and I miss them dearly....
It took me a long time to figure out she was speaking English!
This was nice and too the point. I can only suggest / request that you guys lower the music a bit for these language videos? A little hard to hear the speaker and their nuances.
What a difficult language this would be for me to learn, especially at my age now. I can really appreciate what Bernard Scudder achieved (who died rather untimely), once serving as an English translator for the novels of my favorite foreign contemporary author, Icelander Arnaldur Indridason.
Now I can understand what my Age of Mythology units are saying
Is that Keldur!? My great great Grandfather built the church! Thanks from Eugene Oregon!!!
Damn.. this will take longer to study than any other languages that I've studied before.
Awesome video. I want to visit Iceland one day, so beautiful. Greetings from Miami, FL.
Don't you just love videos where they teach you how to speak but the music is louder and you can't hear well what they are saying? My favourite!
