French tongue twisters get intense if you want some confusing tongue twisters. Try, "Les chaussettes de l'archiduchesse sont-elles sèches ou archi-sèches"
That’s because one naturally pronounces the words in a higher pitch in languages such as Icelandic and Norse - I recorded today an Icelandic challenge for the yt Ecolinguist that is to be used in a future live video, and my voice sounded different, as I used a way higher pitch than I normally do, in fact, I had someone listen to those recordings and that person couldn’t even tell that it was my voice, because I normally speak in a very løw pitch with deeper tone!
By the way, even though these words may seem hard to pronounce, it’s only because they are new words, but it’s easy to say them after seeing them more times and after pronouncing them multiple times, especially after learning them automatically, because one can naturally say the words that one knows automatically and is very familiar with - I am upper intermediate level in Icelandic and Norse and am real close to advanced level in Icelandic after studying it for a few months, and I find the pronunciation super easy, definitely in the top 5 easiest languages to pronounce and learn, plus Icelandic and Norse have the accents that are the easiest to imitate, as easy as English and Dutch, whereas languages such as German and French and Swedish and Brazilian Portuguese and Danish and Spanish and Faroese aren’t easy to pronounce and imitate or to get the exact native accent, so those languages need a lot of practice to get the right accent!
@@shawncarter5619 They should all be pretty much the same even though the pronounciation may sound softer depending on the word or the placement in the word. There might also be a slight difference depending on the person speaking and where they come from in Iceland. Nothing dramatic though.
Seeing an Icelandic person struggle even with some words makes me feel better about my learning, I know about 500/600 words so far and struggle so much with some words. But I'm gonna keep at it and hopefully get fluent in Icelandic

Greetings from Sweden! Icelandic comes across as 33% Swedish, 33% modified pan-Scandinavian, and 33% hard to pronounce gibberish enough to make the language incomprehensible for a Swede. :-D
KT Doty exactly! That’s why I want to protect my language, to don’t lose letters and even whole phrases to make the language easier, it just makes the language less diverse and special.
Just so people are aware, even other Nordic countries struggle to pronounce Icelandic. I'm from Sweden, and this was insanely difficult for me to try and pronounce. 😋
At 3:40. What I hear : "xsndciudrvhcsejkcscdcn" Hrafnhildur: "that is easy... *says it again* Me: ._. OMG Hrafna, those towns' name are just insane. I knew it was extremely weird just like volcanos names but some are just like words with no vowels.
I got pulled over in Iceland (oops) and the officer asked me where we were headed. Needless to say I couldn't answer his question and ended up looking like an idiot tripping over my tongue 😂
I’ve been to Iceland 3 times and love all of it, one of my favorite parts is the language and accent the Icelandic people have. I miss talking to the beautiful girls there, and just being in such a safe place, left my heart there.
I'm an Anglo speaker but your sighs before your speaks reminded me of a girl in Köln. When the city would shut down at 6 we'd walk, and I'd see a 27 letter sign on a building and ask her "what's that say?" "It's the city council building." Etc. I'd smile and she'd sigh and did what you did. Most English speakers don't get past 3 syllables. Loved this!
Quite impressive! I had to say the words slowly and remember that the place names were joined by prefixes and suffixes. Dividing the names into their respective parts helped me say the names easier.
I love how you speak in your native tongue. The rolling the r's. I will be hopeless in learning your language. I am Australian and we simplify the English language to suit us. I also love how you sound very different speaking Icelandic. From high pitch to low tone. Enjoying watching your videos. Visiting the arctic countries is a dream of mine one day but it is a dream but watching and learning about your countries feels like I know it so well.
Actually the simplifying of words in Australia that ends with o and a i think is a leftover of viking accents in rural britain and Irland. Im from Norway and i see a clear similarity of rural nynorsk (that is simililar to icelandic that is also similar to how the vikings spoke) And in the city closest to here in Førde there is a place called Hogane and a town called Dale. So like Paul Hogans ancestors and origin of Yorkshire dales maybe :)
Honestly, as a non-Icelander who has tried to learn the language, or at least say place names somewhat convincingly, this video is so reassuring. As you showed, it’s not so much the length of a word that makes it hard, as Icelandic pronunciation rules are fairly consistent, but rather it’s unexpected combinations of letters and syllables that make a word hard.
I am looking for Icelandic asmr because I find your language extreeeemelly soft to hear, it almost makes me wanna sleep😍 So if you're into asmr that would be AWESOME ! Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
Hi Hrafna! I want to thank you for making me discover an strange but wonderful language like the Icelandic. Because of your videos I am in love with the “íslensku” jaja Greetings from the other side of the world (Argentina 🇦🇷)
I remember when I went to Iceland seeing the street signs and town names and was amazed by how long they were. I'm so happy I rented a car when I was there. I saw so many beautiful places. I wish there was a way I could move there.
My favorite pool on Iceland was Seltjarnarnes (in 1998). I still feel like I can't say it properly, though my strategy is always to break the word down to the parts that I understand.
The first time I met an Icelander I thought I would be cool and mention that I had heard of Egill's saga. He was just like "who's?" So I was like "You know, Egill Skallagrimson." He still looked confused but after a minute he was like "Oh! Egitlth Skatthlagrrrimson!"
I never really thought about Iceland before I was suggested your channel Yesterday. Since than I'm binge watching you're videos. Sooooo interesting. I definitely going to visit Iceland 🇮🇸 😍😍 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 😊 (I'm definitely going...? Hmm don't know 🤔)
Wow! Here, in Portugal, most of our places have very weird names but they aren't as half weird as the Icelandic amazing places! I absolutely love your language and your country, it's the perfect country for me
I watch these videos out of pure fascination for how difficult the Icelandic language is. I’ve tried giving them a go but I sound like I’m just swallowing food lol
I started learning Icelandic this spring and it's a lot of fun. I really like the lessons. But I think it's a bit difficult for foreigners to learn Icelandic, because of ll rn fn where you say more letters than there are or totally different. Just like in your name. It sound like Hrapn instead of Hrafn or gamall sounds like gamatl. Or æ is not like ä but more like ai (compared to German sounds) But if you learned the letters and these special things like ll or fn everything goes its way :)
Are there any Icelandic youtubers that speak in Icelandic that you know of and could recommend? I’m trying to learn the language and I think watching people speak/listening to language is the best way to learn
Iceland, the only country where people can't pronounce the names of places. She said "Oh but these are very random places", take any random place in my country and I can pronounce it, no problem. Like any normal country
It will be nice, but Iceland has 300 000 population and just half of the population lives in the capital Reykjavik. It will be very rare to find Hrafna's followers in those areas
A lot of places will also be a bay, hill, random plain or large stone. We have the same problem with random placenames in norway, but ours is a little easier to pronounce.
Some words was hard, but the hardest thing is to know how to pronounce the different letters (the ones that not exist in swedish or norwegian), and the sound when to letters are together... and I also love the R-sound you make. :D
After discovering you on youtube ... when I m asleep I keep having this dream where I hop on a boat and just sail to Iceland and dock it in a small town in south Iceland and buy a few things there talk to the people , try to learn the language and the culture making friends and then I hop aboard again and return back home thinking of doing it again as soon as possible ! What have you done to me ?!
Hi! I am from Holland and living in Iceland since a year. If you ever want to make a video with hearing a Dutch person prenounce those words, or just something fun language/country wise. Don’t hesitate to send me a message back!!
Maybe I can pronounce this words but understanding them is impossible 😅 btw your accent is fantastic. I love how Icelanders pronounce this strange letters like ð ❤️
We have some place names in Australia which are difficult to pronounce. Most of them are of Aboriginal origin, and as there were over 350 different Aboriginal languages when Europeans arrived here, even Aborigines have difficulty with some of them. Here are a few examples - Woolloomooloo, Wangkatjungka, Carrabarrawirracanna, and the longest place name in Australia Mamungkukumpurangkuntjunga. The last one comes from the Pitjantjatjara language and means "Where a devil urinates". No I didn't make that up.
"i would like to know how people who are not from Iceland pronounce these words"... We don't :P but nice video!! Cool facts about Iceland on your channel!! Hoping to learn more :) thanks :)
This video reminds me of another TH-cam channel, it's a southern thing. They have a series where they try to pronounce places in US southern states. It's surprisingly difficult.
Can you decode these words by reading and pronouncing them? Those are obviously names for places, villages and so on, so i wonder if those words actually figurative names? In German and other languages i know, many names of villages are compositions of smaller words that tell you something about the location. Places that end with -bach for example are situated around a small river, words ending with -weiler tell that the villages was once protected by a wall, names with -scheid in the end were once villages on a field next to a forest (like a cleared forest).
Funny that some of the word where she had problems with, I had no at all. I just began with Icelandindic speaking german. But man, they have so many pronunciation rules that you can hear while she is talking.
If you're hungarian, this isn't that hard😂 here's some hungarian town name: Hódmezővásárhely Jászfelsőszentgyörgy Chernelházadamonya Reformátuskovácsháza Nemesboldogasszonyfa. Have a good luck😂❤️
Here in Greece we don't have very difficult city names but the most difficult and longest word we have is: λοπαδοτεμαχοσελαχογαλεοκρανιολειψανοδριμυποτριμματοσιλφιολιπαρομελιτο- κατακεχυμενοκιχλεπικοσσυφοφαττοπεριστεραλεκτρυονοπτοπιφαλλιδο- κιγκλοπελειολαγωοσιραιοβαφητραγανοπτερυγών This word is made by Aristophanes.
@@dimitrislb3518 the longest hungarian word is: megszentsegteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért. It's shorter, but it's still long😉 anyway the greek language is beautiful🇬🇷🇭🇺
Hi honey!! I have a little question. How hard is for a foreigner that only speaks english to get a job in your country? I just discovered your channel and i like it so much!!! Have an amazing day!♡
A lot of foreigners that work in Iceland don't know Icelandic. To be honest it's pretty annoying going out for a meal when not a single server speaks Icelandic. It's way too common. It's even worse when the person knows little or no English as well.
2:15 Is there any connection between Svalbarðsstrandarhreppur and the Norwegian island far north called Svalbard? I've only found that Svalbarð means "cold shores".
I'm German and I found some words easier than she did but words she found easy were very hard for me haha. I could pronounce these words but not as quickly. I noticed that Icelandic has the same letter ll as Welsh, so that was interesting.
I am planning to move to Iceland on a working Visa in a couple of years and this video made realize that it will be impossible to learn the language😅 I only know how to speak English, Spanish and a little bit of Arabic

As a swede, those words were not that difficult to pronounce

Maybe cats speak Icelandic.
You have to show us some Icelandic tonguetwisters

That's the entire language

λοπαδοτεμαχοσελαχογαλεοκρανιολειψανοδριμυποτριμματοσιλφιολιπαρομελιτο-
κατακεχυμενοκιχλεπικοσσυφοφαττοπεριστεραλεκτρυονοπτοπιφαλλιδο-
κιγκλοπελειολαγωοσιραιοβαφητραγανοπτερυγών
This word is made by Aristophanes.
@@dimitrislb3518 the longest hungarian word is: megszentsegteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért. It's shorter, but it's still long😉 anyway the greek language is beautiful🇬🇷🇭🇺
Easy
Tamás Hegedűs longest word in Turkish is muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine
Hi honey!! I have a little question. How hard is for a foreigner that only speaks english to get a job in your country? I just discovered your channel and i like it so much!!! Have an amazing day!♡
A lot of foreigners that work in Iceland don't know Icelandic. To be honest it's pretty annoying going out for a meal when not a single server speaks Icelandic. It's way too common. It's even worse when the person knows little or no English as well.
2:15 Is there any connection between Svalbarðsstrandarhreppur and the Norwegian island far north called Svalbard? I've only found that Svalbarð means "cold shores".
I don't know why I enjoy this so much, I love Icelandic!
Nice video.... I'm gonna be able to pronounce those freaking words soon...
I hope you're gonna kill your exams beauty ✌️❤️
1:26This sounds like your trying to call pigeons😂😂🤣
Icelandic sounds so beautiful. I could pronounce a few words, but the mostly of it is hard for me. (I'm from Sweden)
Those names sounds very cool!
I'm German and I found some words easier than she did but words she found easy were very hard for me haha.
I could pronounce these words but not as quickly.
I noticed that Icelandic has the same letter ll as Welsh, so that was interesting.
Thanks!
To me, watching this video was like saying a word over and over again till you don’t recognise it as a word anymore
Icelandic to me sounds like a bird singing in the early morning! I think it's hard to disagree with that metaphor! 🦜🎶🎵
You pick a word. You say it. Someone becomes a fish.
Takk Hrafna :D
I'm glad you guys speak english.
That dimple is killing me 😊😊😊😊😍😍😍😍💕💕💕💕💕
You have returned to us 🤗
I'm in love.
If I lost in Iceland 🇮🇸 i will never get back home.
I am planning to move to Iceland on a working Visa in a couple of years and this video made realize that it will be impossible to learn the language😅 I only know how to speak English, Spanish and a little bit of Arabic
It's hard to pronounce for you who are native but for a stranger who speaks a Latin language.
English is Germanic with some Latin influences. But English is derived from Anglo Anglish English see lmao a Germanic language.
3:32 it's just easy, she said . Hahaha
