Wow I didn’t realise it was so similar to Norwegian😮

Beautiful language. Beautiful country. Beautiful people.

i heard that Icelandic is the closest Germanic language to old Norse, if you give an Icelander something written in old Norse they will understand it they're like modern aged Vikings. pretty cool stuff

'Ég er búin að búa hér í band... í englandi." I think she thought she was living in the US for a minute there.

She said her name was Sæunn, she's from Iceland and that she and her boyfriend have lived in England for ca 4 years and that they really like it. Það er svo fyndið að heyra fólk tala íslensku á YouTube haha ég veit ekki afhverju

My 7 year old son wanted to know what language the vikings spoke, so I played him this video and told him this is the closest language existing today. We are a multilingual family (English/Swedish / German) so we understand most of what is said. I am amazed how similar the accent is to Scottish. and my son is not sure if Pete is a welder or has been to Switzerland but other than that we understand most of what is said.

I love the sound of the S in Icelandic, it reminds me the S sound in Greek and European Spanish.

I’m Swedish, and I’m astonished that I understood what she said.
