Or rather, which of the following introductory courses should I take for it.
http://icelandiconline.is/ http://books.google.com/books/about/Colloquial_Icelandic.htm l?id=MD7m_cV6KrIC The online course with the Iceland domain is free, whereas Colloquial Icelandic will cost money. Naturally, I'm inclined to choose the former, but time is more important than saving a few dollars. Which would you recommend? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I wouldn't recommend Colloquial Icelandic as a beginner course. Although it is pretty comprehensive in terms of
grammar, I find it can be very confusing at times. Icelandic online is pretty good, but it can sometimes be a bit hard to follow for people who have no prior knowledge of Icelandic. It also teaches grammar indirectly, whereas I prefer being able to consult grammar charts and to read a few grammar explanations. My favorite Icelandic introductory course is actually Hippocrene's Beginner's Icelandic - it is not overwhelming, presents the language very clearly and is much cheaper than the Colloquial method. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I liked Colloquial Icelandic but, yes, I'm a grammar nerd. I haven't tried the online course though.
