Who wants to learn...

[Stoverus]

Hi,
I was thinking about creating a topic and see if you would like to learn a little Icelandic tounge, since I'm from Iceland and I live there I can teach you a few words and sentence, I speak Icelandic but I have to write english here for you to understand me. :)
I'm just gonna' check how many want to learn and I'll teach you something, you can also come with words from english or sentence and I can translate them to Icelandic and teach you
Now who wants to learn a new language?

J�, bara til skemmtunar.

It might be interesting to learn what kind of sausages you make in Iceland and give us the benefit of a translation into Icelandic at the same time.

Lots of members of the forum are interested in fish and smoked foods; living where you do I should think you'd be able to tell us quite a lot about these subjects as well.

With the exception of some really good smoked salmon and beautiful thick wool sweaters (we mustn't go into the 'Cod Wars'), I for one, have to admit to almost total ignorance of your country. Enlighten us.

Hmm...do you know Nana Ragnavaldsdottir? She's written a couple of cookbooks on Icelandic recipes. We were at a food conference, together, and had a fascinating conversation. She told me about the last tree on her family farm dying, and how the whole community gathered to grieve over its loss. She also spoke of learning how to pound dry fish to soften it up, on the "fish rock" that had been outside her house for generations.

I, for one, would be very interested in learning about Icelandic.
