icelandiconline.is/ Great
website that goes over the basics, and is generally a great resource
for learning the language. Some institutes have adopted it as an
acceptable prerequisite for more advanced courses, and it is also helpful with Old Norse. Other useful Icelandic links; digicoll.library.wisc.edu/IcelOnline/Search.TEId.html >Free
online Icelandic dictionary. You tend to search by headwords, but it
can check the entire entry as well, which is useful for common phrases
with particular declensions bin.arnastofnun.is/ >Free
declension database. Put in the word you want, select the box marked
"Leit að beygingarmynd" so that it searches the entire entry in case
you're trying to figure out the head-word, and then go. You need to know the category, and it's only in Icelandic (learn that vocabulary!), but it's useful. I
also have an Old Norse textbook on my computer, but it's a terrible,
terrible book, and I've only used it because it gets you reading texts
quickly. Hope this shit helps out anyone looking into Icelandic. Very
good language to get into, and it really forces you to think about what
you're saying. |
