Since I'm going to Iceland in more or less 40 days, I decided to start the decrypting of
this beautiful language. I opened a specific log for this (40 days Icelandic challenge, listed on my profile). I will "water" only the vocabulary learnt since now in German, Dutch and Norwegian to make it more solid and keep time to study Icelandic. Meanwhile, I will end reading "De Alchemist". Since now it has been quite painful because even if I can understand the general meaning and some sentences in detail, I'm still slow in reading. But it is an outstanding exercize to improve the written comprehension. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Some days ago happened that I read some article from a technical magasine (about
photography). It was much easier than books and newspapers and I managed to understand almost everything! Was awesome. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I'm back!
After my vacation in Iceland, during which I spent time reflecting about my language studies, I decided to close a couple of projects. One is the Icelandic one. I will not come back in Iceland for a few years and therefore for the moment is really low priority. The other one is to learn the Germanic languages as a group. I will rather focus on just two Germanic languages: - English, from street English to professional English (so correct pronunciation and perfect grammar). - Dutch, from advanced beginner to upper intermediate. When reached these goals I will come back with German and a Scandinavian one (no sure which one for the moment). Another remark, I will not update this log at this point.

Good luck with your goals. I am finding learning one language enough - so I am impressed that you are able to do two!
