ancestors. Or maybe you are simply planning a trip to Iceland, and you wish to
communicate with Icelanders in their own language. Whatever it is that motivated you to
pick up this book, you are interested in learning Icelandic, or in keeping up and
improving your Icelandic. This course may be just what you need.
