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
In my adoptive family we have a cousin who speaks this beautiful language. I hope it stays for many more generations.
I don't know why, but when I hear Nordic languages, I " miss them "
It took me a long time to figure out she was speaking English!
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.... Gotta get to Iceland one of these days...♥
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.
To a Finnish person this sounds like a Saami, Swedish and Viking languages mixed with little bit of Finnish accent.
Is that Keldur!? My great great Grandfather built the church! Thanks from Eugene Oregon!!!
Is always a pleasure to see and hear a happy woman. Takk!
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.
Awesome video. I want to visit Iceland one day, so beautiful. Greetings from Miami, FL.
I love the chemistry
Going to Iceland on Wednesday. Can’t wait! Hoping this helps
I learned some conversational Icelandic for fun as I have a good Icelandic friend but I actually got to use it on two other occasions with people I didn't know and they were quite surprised that I even could speak some
Damn.. this will take longer to study than any other languages that I've studied before. But it seems fun
Fun watching people amazed by these and they are actually quite simple haha cool
0:54 such an interesting pronunciation, really loving this word
