I'd like to use the 10,000 sentences method for Icelandic- but I don't know hwere to find the sentences. I've got Teach Yourself, Colloquial, and a few Icelandic books, mostly kids, can I just grab sentences from that? It seems like a lot of what the person, and the original 10,000 sentence method people, originally did involved using a beginners dictionary, which had the definition in Japanese(or whatever) and then an example sentence. I have that in Mandarin, but I can't find that in Icelandic.
Is that sort of dictionary necessary for the 10,000 sentence method, or would just grabbing then from a book work? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

That's very interesting. I've been looking through his site for the past few days and it's a great resource.
The Method Choose 10000 sentences. These sentences should be from a variety of sources: example sentences from dictionaries, movies, books, and podcasts. The sentences should also reflect your personal daily life to make them more meaningful to you: i.e., things you yourself want/need to be able to say. Load these sentences into your SRS and start processing them. This entire process (entering and learning the sentences) is estimated to take about 18 months. I have a thread at the moment, trying to get my own 10,000 German sentences. Edited by brian91 on 29 March 2010 at 3:00pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ah, thank you. I don't feel comfortable getting example sentences from movies or podcasts- as they don't have subtitles and I mishear them in English- but the books I have should be good enough, and throwing in a few from the textbooks is probably a good idea, although it'd be great if I had a dictionary. Ah well.
AJATT's site is great, but I wasn't able to find anything about where to get the sentences- I'd even see a few commenters ask and go ignored. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I think I read that as for movies, didn't the guy from AJATT download subtitles in Japanese for movies? (even with source language as English?) So perhaps try a site such as opensubtitles.org I just had a look and they definitely have some subtitles for Icelandic! Hopefully you can find some movies you've seen and already like.

Thanks for the suggestion- I found a lot. None from Icelandic movies I have, but from English ones... which is a good enough. :) I´ll see if I can get it to work.

You are now aware of a way to mine sentences for Icelandic.
Enter a word. Let's say: Tungumál You get more than enough sentences like: Þá vantar náttúrulega ákveðinn grunn fyrir nýtt tungumál. http://corpora.uni-leipzig.de/?dict=ICE There are other ways. You can go on Icelandic websites and mine sentences. Eventually you will want a few Icelandic novels. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I do have a couple of Icelandic books- mostly for kids, and one for adults that I can´t read- so I can graduate to them, but I wasn´t sure if that´d work, especially at first.
Thank you for the uni-leipzig site, though, that looks really helpful. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This is an interesting topic. I'd love to hear some more about this method and people's experiences with it. My friend once told me her husband learnt English in a similar but less controlled manner and I've always been intrigued by that. It was Korean L1 to English and he did it in a short time and that's not an easy feat.
Also I'd like to ask a random question: why did you choose to learn Icelandic? That's not a language I often see people learning so I'm quite curious as to your reasons if you don't mind me asking. 1 person has voted this message useful |
