5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing view on Icelandic, 21 Jun 2004

Daniel (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teach Yourself Icelandic (TY Complete Courses) (Paperback)

After the original Teach Yourself Icelandic, its nice to see that what was once highly impenitrable is now highly accesible. This book is excellent for the grounding of basic language and is truly worthy of "teach yourself" status. NO previous knowledge is required at all.
However, this book is not really suitable for advanced students, for example, the subjunctive is not addressed and there are no extended texts (although there are suggestions for further study). However, for beginners, it is excellent. Dialogues are of an everyday nature and are realistic. A lot of vocabulary is also provided, with a mini-dictionary at the back. Excersises are provided throughout with full answers at the back. The excersises are traditional "fill in the gaps", and are usually aimed at getting the reader to speak aloud and gain confidence.
A very enjoyable read providing a good starting point and a chance to brush up on the basics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written, 4 Oct 2006

Barry (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Icelandic (Teach Yourself Languages) Accompanies Book (Audio CD)

I've tried a few times to crack Icelandic and it's hard work. Sometimes you feel every verb is irregular. However, doing this book I had a lot of 'oh, I get it now' moments! Don't think you can learn this language without having a good go at the grammar, you can't. But this author is really good at explaining how things work and at giving you little tips. It's a really good way to start off learning Icelandic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Very Useful Resource, 31 July 2009

Robin Cross (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Complete Icelandic Book/CD Pack (Teach Yourself Languages) (Hardcover)

This book is absolutely excellent for anyone trying to learn a good amount of Icelandic, and gain a very good grounding of Icelandic grammar. The book starts of with the basics, then moves on briskly into the more complex structures, with useful vocabulary given on the way. The CD then gives the learner lots of practice of listening to and understanding Icelandic. If followed, the course will give any learner confidence to communicate effectively when vistiting Iceland.
